The Saturday Kids Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

(ian hunter) 

Clouds among (? ) 

The feelings that you catch 

The worries through the years 

There was a time in 69 

Now the fools are cool 

And my dream appears 

It was in 1971 

The crowd that called us young 

(? ) 

So he was such a natch 

Boy but what a catch 

Do you laugh about 

Do you remember the saturday kids 

We did, we did 

Did you get off on the saturday kids 

We did, we did 

Do you remember all those dreams 

Fantasies alive 

A fairy tale, yeah 

69 was safeway wine 

Have a good time, what's your sign 

Float up to the roundhouse 

On a sunday afternoon 

In 70 I found out about me 

I didn't like what I saw 

So I looked some more 

There you go, you never know 

In 71 we were dumb 

On the run, too little done 

Take the mick out of top of the pops 

To much energies drag 

In 73 we started to lose 

Oh the band got the blues 

'n I got the 'flu 

Oh God what a year 

Then we went to croydon 

Do you remember the saturday gigs 

We did, we did 

Do you remember the saturday gigs 

We did, we did 

Tickets for the fantasy were 12 and 6 a time 

A fairy tale, on sale 

Oh 73 was a jamboree 

The dudes were the news 

And the dudes was we 

Did you see the suits, the platform boots 

Hey man, you wanna party 

In 74 was the broadway tour 

But we didn't much like dressing up any more 

Don't wanna be hip 

But thanks for a great trip 

Do you remember the saturday gigs 

We do, we do 

Do you remember the saturday gigs 

We do, we do 

And now the kids pay a couple of quid 

'cause they need it just the same 

But it's just another game 

Just another game 

But you got off on those saturday gigs that we did, we did 

'cause you got off on those saturday gigs that we did, we did 

And we got off on those saturday gigs that you did, you did 

And we got off on those saturday gigs 'cause you did, you did 

Goodbye...... 

Don't you ever forget us and we'll never forget you 

Just going to sleep for a little while - you be good, right 

See you again some time, ta ra. 

Goodbye.....
