Mott the Hoople - The Saturday Kids lyrics

rate me

(Ian Hunter)

Clouds among (?)

The feelings that you catch

The worries through the years

There was a time in 69

Now the fools are cool

And my dream appears

It was in 1971

The crowd that called us young

(?)

So he was such a natch

Boy but what a catch

Do you laugh about

Do you remember the Saturday Kids

We did, we did

Did you get off on the Saturday Kids

We did, we did

Do you remember all those dreams

Fantasies alive

A fairy tale, yeah

69 was Safeway wine

Have a good time, what's your sign

Float up to the Roundhouse

On a Sunday Afternoon

In 70 I found out about me

I didn't like what I saw

So I looked some more

There you go, you never know

In 71 we were dumb

On the run, too little done

Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops

To much energies drag

In 73 we started to lose

Oh the band got the blues

'N I got the 'flu

Oh God what a year

Then we went to Croydon

Do you remember the Saturday Gigs

We did, we did

Do you remember the Saturday Gigs

We did, we did

Tickets for the fantasy were 12 and 6 a time

A fairy tale, on sale

Oh 73 was a jamboree

The dudes were the news

And the dudes was we

Did you see the suits, the platform boots

Hey man, you wanna party

In 74 was the Broadway tour

But we didn't much like dressing up any more

Don't wanna be hip

But thanks for a great trip

Do you remember the Saturday gigs

We do, we do

Do you remember the Saturday gigs

We do, we do

And now the kids pay a couple of quid

'Cause they need it just the same

But it's just another game

Just another game

But you got off on those Saturday Gigs that we did, we did

'Cause you got off on those Saturday Gigs that we did, we did

And we got off on those Saturday Gigs that you did, you did

And we got off on those Saturday Gigs 'cause you did, you did

Goodbye......

Don't you ever forget us and we'll never forget you

Just going to sleep for a little while - you be good, right

See you again some time, ta ra.

Goodbye.....
