| She would sell anything, even herself
|
| Motorway services, she gets her fix
|
| He’s a thief, steals from his family
|
| Steals from his neighbours' terraced houses
|
| All the MP3s and the exercise machines and the DVD players
|
| That they take to Cash Converters, Cash Converters
|
| Gone in an instant
|
| Buys it from an ice-cream van
|
| And when the smack hits
|
| He could be anyone
|
| On the other hand, there’s Jeremy
|
| Likes to play Bagatelle with his terminally ill mother
|
| Watches from the window in the end terraced house
|
| Sees them at work where they try to sell him
|
| Amplifiers and some cheap guitars, televisions
|
| That they take to Cash Converters, Cash Converters
|
| Gone in an instant
|
| Puts them in the back of his blue van
|
| And when the hammer blow hits
|
| He could be anyone
|
| He turns them into happy clowns
|
| And plays with them until they rot
|
| He prayed for forgiveness
|
| But not for himself
|
| Then he goes upstairs (then he goes upstairs)
|
| With a cup of tea (with a cup of tea)
|
| For his dying mother (for his dying mother)
|
| And for a while he feels free (and for a while he feels free)
|
| All the MP3s and the exercise machines and the DVD players
|
| That they take to Cash Converters, Cash Converters
|
| And all the amplifiers and the cheap guitars, televisions
|
| That they take to Cash Converters, Cash Converters |
