SATURDAY'S KIDS

(Paul Weller)

Saturday's boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results,
Afternoon tea in the light-a-bitechat up the girlsthey 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 Janin 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 thatfar out!

Their mums and dads smoke Capstan non filters,
Wallpaper lives 'cause they all die of cancer,
What goes onwhat goes wrong.

Save up their money for a holiday,
To Selsey Bill or Bracklesham Bay,
Think about the futurewhen they'll settle down,
Marry the girl next doorwith one on the way.

These are the real creatures that time has forgot,

Not given a thoughtits the system -
Hate the systemwhat'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 seatsin the back of course!
