Billy Bragg - The Saturday Boy lyrics

rate me

I'll never forget the first day I met her

That September morning was clear and fresh

The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes

And the way she rubbed herself

Against the edge of my desk

She became a magic mystery to me

And we'd sit together in double

History twice a week

And some days we'd walk the same way home

And it's surprising how quick

A little rain can clear the streets

We dreamed of her and compared our dreams

But that was all that I ever tasted

She lied to me with her body you see

I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted

The times we were close

Were far and few between

In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen

Did she close her eyes like I did

As we held each other tight

And la la la la la la la la means I love you

She danced with me and I still hold that memory

Soft and sweet

And I stare up at her window

As I walk down her street

But I never made the first team,

I just made the first team laugh

And she never came to the phone

She was always in the bath

In the end, it took me a dictionary

To find out the meaning of unrequited

While she was giving herself for free

At a party to which I was never invited

I never understood my failings then

And I hide my humble hopes now

Thinking back she made us want her

A girl not old enough to shave her legs
