Saturday Gigs - Mott The Hoople

作词：Ian Hunter

作曲：Ian Hunter

Sixty-nine was cheap bottle wine

Have a good time what's your sign

Float up to the Roundhouse on a Sunday afternoon

In Seventy we all agreed

A King's Road flat was the place to be

'Cause Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company

In Seventy-one all the people come

Bust a few seats but it's just in fun

Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops

We play better than they do

In Seventy-two we was born to lose

We slipped down stakes into yesterday's news

I was ready to quit but then we went to Croydon

Do you remember the Saturday gigs

We do we do

Do you remember the Saturday gigs

We do we do

The tickets for the fantasy were twelve and six a time

A fairy tale on sale

Oh Seventy-three was a jamboree

We were the dudes and the dudes were we

Did you see the suits and the platform boots

(oh dear oh boy )

In Seventy-four on the Broadway tour

We didn't much like dressing up no 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

But now the kids pay a couple of quid

'Cause they need it just the same

It's all a game a grown-up game

But you got off on those Saturday gigs

And we did we did

'Cause you got off on those Saturday gigs

And we did we did

And we got off on those Saturday gigs

And you did you did

And we got off on those Saturday gigs

'Cause you did you did

-End-
