lyrics

Dirty fingers, greasy hair
Get your shirt off, the money’s there
Keep your body working
Take your mind away
Hell begins on Monday
And it’s heaven every Saturday

Empty pockets, you’ve had enough
Sweat your guts out for nothing much
Cash in hand on Thursday
Send your money home
Count the notes you’re keeping
And the evenings that you spend alone

It doesn’t matter what the hell you do
Can’t get ahead of what’s in front of you

On Saturday we’ll all go out to play
On Saturday we’ll pray for sunshine
On Saturday we’ll blow it all away
On Saturday one crazy night-time

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

There’ll be a day
I know you know
We’ll break away
Get up and go

Stacking bricks up from there to here
Pay your debts off in seven years
Living for the weekend
Doing it for the pay
I’m coming home for Christmas
I’ll stay till New Year’s Day
The interest on the interest
I’ve paid so many times
Once a week I’m crazy
The other days I’m fine
Building up the pressure
Always feels the same
Waiting for the pleasure
And living through the pain

On Saturday we’ll all go out to play
On Saturday we’ll pray for sunshine
On Saturday we’ll blow it all away
On Saturday one crazy night-time

On Saturday we’ll all go out to play
On Saturday we’ll pray for sunshine
On Saturday we’ll drink our minds away
On Saturday to Sunday night-time

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

On Saturday we’ll all go out to play
