Lyrics Saturday Night Is Dead - Graham Parker, The Rumour

Saturday Night Is Dead

Everybody just looks ugly now information don’t compute
I draw a blank every time I think
The football crowd is going to give me a boot
And Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead
It don’t matter what they say
You’ve got to use your own head some day
D A E (intro chords)
Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead Yeah it’s dead
The ultraviolet light hurts me so it used to be my friend
I used to know a good place to go but now it’s nothing like it was then
Chorus (Word variation)
And Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead
It don’t matter what they say I’m going to the funeral Sunday
Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead Yeah it’s dead
Bridge
It must have been murder it ain’t no accident
Oh no it means nothing to me
The clock goes tick tick tick in my head
Saturday is dead Saturday is dead (solo over A and Bm)
I look inside to find a place to hide but there ain’t no place I know
It’s just as well that I’m stupified it makes it easy
It makes it easy to deliver the fatal blow
(Intro chords)
Deliver deliver deliver
Chorus (First version)
Saturday night is dead repeat and end
