No Deposit, No Return

No Deposit, No Return - Skyclad[00:00:00]

Written by:Martin Walkyier[00:00:13]

I remember my grandmother sat with her radio[00:00:27]

Tea cup and walking stick set by her side[00:00:31]

As her old fingers reached out to turn up the volume[00:00:34]

I learnt what it meant to be bursting with pride[00:00:38]

She told me some tales of wars great and last[00:00:41]

Black and white film stars sha'd liked in the past[00:00:44]

Taught me a few songs she'd learnt as a child[00:00:48]

Stunned by her wisdom I listened and smiled[00:00:51]

She said to me lad if you'll be a musican[00:00:55]

Go out and be one but one with conviction[00:00:58]

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn[00:01:02]

It's pay no deposit and get no return[00:01:05]

Get no return[00:01:09]

Pay no deposit and get no return[00:01:11]

On time faded photographs I've seen an airman[00:01:16]

Stood next to the wings of a flying machine[00:01:19]

And given the choice well I think I would rather[00:01:22]

Have done what I've done than have seen what he's seen[00:01:26]

I think that the old man feels really quite proud[00:01:29]

When he sits at the wheel and turns it up loud[00:01:33]

But imagined his son a lawyer or broker[00:01:36]

Not sat on a bus full of drinkers and tokers[00:01:39]

He said to me son you can do as you please[00:01:43]

But always stand stright never crawl on your knees[00:01:46]

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn[00:01:50]

It's pay no deposit and get no return[00:01:53]

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn[00:02:04]

It's pay no deposit and get no return[00:02:07]

Get no return[00:02:11]

Pay no deposit and get no return[00:02:13]

I've such a short time to tell you so much[00:02:32]

Words come second best to a kiss or a touch[00:02:35]

Far thicker than water this blood we all share[00:02:38]

So please don't think that for you I don't care[00:02:42]

Fate may have driven us all separate ways[00:03:00]

But can't sever ancestry splice d n a[00:03:03]

If life seems a road that's uneven and long[00:03:06]

To know where you're going just look who you came from[00:03:09]

Many have said I take after my mother[00:03:27]

For her '67 was not a good year[00:03:30]

Though often I make her annoyed like no other[00:03:34]

Through thick and through thin she has always been near[00:03:37]

Sometimes in the cold now I catch myself smiling[00:03:41]

'Bout some stupid joke or a Christmas tree shining[00:03:44]

I stood there so small 'neath that glittering tower[00:03:47]

It's memory a beacon in my darkest hour[00:03:51]

She said to me martin' whatever you'll be[00:03:54]

There's no such thing as a meal that's for free[00:03:58]

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn[00:04:01]

It's pay no deposit and get no return[00:04:05]

If there's just one lesson the young ought to learn[00:04:16]

It's pay no deposit and get no return[00:04:19]

Get no return[00:04:22]

Pay no deposit and get no return[00:04:24]
