Saturday

Woke up thinking it's school
But I was happy it was saturday
Turned the TV on and watched the racoons
Brother and sister downstairs already fighting
Dad banging on the ceiling
‘cus that was his only lie in
He came down like a stomping giant
Mum got the eggs in the frying pan frying
Dad took us for a haircut
Waiting outside the bookies
Sitting on the wall
Praying Dad gets lucky
Afternoons was Knight Rider
Street Hawk or Airwolf
Mum played the pools
So it was football results
Over time the programmes changed
From Blind Date to You Bet
Generation Game
Forsyth bussing a two step
Play ya cards right
But it’s X-Factor now
Funny how Saturday seems to have it’s own style

Scratch Chorus by Jabba tha Kut

“We did it like that now we do it like this
Let’s take a step and think back
I think about the days
Go inside your mind and find a time that you miss
Will they reminisce”

My favourite day
But the world’s still spinning
Football focus
Matches need winning
Chip shops open
So that's big man grinning
Mum spring cleaning
New fresh linen
New shoes from town
Couple vinyls and a CD
Pocket money
Sticker book that says Panini
Watching snooker
Play the lottery
If you’re not going out with your missus
Then it's a Chinese
Match of the day
After that probably Netflix
Chillin' on the sofa
And you might get a bit
Only joking
Everyday has a new meaning
A new meeting
Couple of nice greetings
Don't get too mashed and start beefing
Mess around in town and ruin everybody’s weekend
Then it's bridewell breakfast on sunday
In court Monday
But Saturday was the fun day

Whether you’re washing your car
Or you',43 mowing your lawn
You could have slept in but you’re up early morn'
Freedom is the best feeling
Are you a robot today?
Not at all
My grandad would play spot the ball
Each day is a different colour in my head
Monday is orange
But Saturday is red
Mum would do the weekly shop
And say we don’t need a lot
We was very happy with whatever we got
Nowadays more and more people work on
Weekends
Is it still special?
Or just another day in the week then
Tim Westwood rap show was my nights in
Got my tape ready for the top ten at ten
Then I would start writing
Just another dream in the bedroom
Now I need a boardroom or more leg room
