Interest on the Loan — текст песни (Ralph McTell)

Now it`s come to talking I don`t have much to say,
It wouldn`t come out right, and so I`ll leave it out, oh it`s best that way
And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks.
Can you lend me a little money till I draw my pay?

And I`m leaving like a thief in the night.
But I will try to write to you, or maybe phone
And I`ll send you back the money,
But not the love you lent
I could never pay no interest on that loan

You really give me comfort I couldn`t take more tenderness
My credit`s overdrawn and I just slide deeper in your debt
And I want to get out now cos I need just a couple of drinks.
Can you lend me a little money till pay day next?

Chorus

Why don`t you get some rest now you ought to get an early night.
I`ve got a key so you can lock the door and it`ll be all right.
I`ll just take my winter coat, it looks like it might rain.
Can you lend me a little money just for the night?

Chorus
