No Deposit, No Return

歌曲歌詞

I remember my grandmother sat with her radio

Tea cup and walking stick set by her side

As her old fingers reached out to turn up the volume

I learnt what it meant to be bursting with pride

She told me some tales of wars great and last

Black and white film stars sha'd liked in the past

Taught me a few songs she'd learnt as a child

Stunned by her wisdom I listened and smiled

She said to me lad if you'll be a musican

Go out and be one but one with conviction

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn

It's pay no deposit and get no return

Get no return

Pay no deposit and get no return

On time faded photographs I've seen an airman

Stood next to the wings of a flying machine

And given the choice well I think I would rather

Have done what I've done than have seen what he's seen

I think that the old man feels really quite proud

When he sits at the wheel and turns it up loud

But imagined his son a lawyer or broker

Not sat on a bus full of drinkers and tokers

He said to me son you can do as you please

But always stand stright never crawl on your knees
