The Jam - Saturday's Kids lyrics
[The Jam - Saturday's Kids lyrics]
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 it's
All they can afford
Go to discos they drink Babycham talk
To Jan - in bingo accents
Saturdays kids play one arm bandit's
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 - it's 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!
