Verse 1
He’s got the cash
The pressure is on
When the time’s right
The deed will be done.

He’s doing it for the love
It’s his wife’s wishes
And that is enough.

The ordeal begins
Bun in the oven
And the cooker is cooking.

But the result is unknown.

A big decision to make
But it was decided
The chance they had to take.

A little baby boy
When they saw his face
It filled them with joy.

And kept secretive
With the baby for a month
The mother had to live.

And then when the time was right
The mother said goodbye
Although unsurprisingly
Had a tear in her eye.

I cost them £50,000
Only could only hope
That all goes to plan
And they’re able to cope.

When you want something bad
You’ll go to any extent
In order to get it
At whetever expense.

Verse 11
The mother was a junkie
She injected all the time
To her addiction
The couple were so blind.
Verse 12
Soon after leaving
The mother sadly died
From the moment of the birth
Her health was in decline.
CHORUS
Verse 13
£50,000 subsidised the habit
And ended the mother’s life
It created family prospects
But the dream didn’t survive.
