Lyrics

Saturday's boys live life with insults
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results
Afternoon tea in the light-a-bite - chat up the girls - they
Dig it!
Saturday's girls work in tesco's and woolworths
Wear cheap perfume 'cause its all they can afford
Go to discos they drink babycham talk to jan - in bingo
Accents
Saturdays kids play one arm bandits
They never win but that's not the point is it
Dip in silver paper when their pints go flat
How about that - far out!

Their mums and dads smoke capstan non filters
Wallpaper lives 'cause they all die of cancer
What goes on - what goes wrong

Save up their money for a holiday
To selsey bill or bracklesham bay
Think about the future - when they'll settle down
Marry the girl next door - with one on the way

These are the real creatures that time has forgot

Not given a thought - its the system -
Hate the system - what's the system?

Saturdays kids live in council houses
Wear v-necked shirts and baggy trousers
Drive cortinas fur trimmed dash boards
Stains on the seats - in the back of course!
