Lyrics Saturday's Kids - The Jam

Saturday's Kids

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!
