Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting Lyrics
[Original: Elton John]
It's getting late haven't seen my mates,
Ma tell me when the boys get here.
It's seven o'clock and I wanna mosh,
Wanna get my belly full of beer.
My old man's drunker than a bar full of whinos,
And my old lady she don't care.
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots,
A handful of grease in her hair.
[chorus:]
Don't give us none of your aggravation,
We've had it with your discipline.
Saturday night's alright for fightin',
Get a little action in.
Get about as oiled as a diesel train,
Gonna set this town alight.
Saturday night's the night I like,
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright.
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight,
I'm looking for a bitch who will see me right.
I may use a little muscle to get what I need,
I may sink a little Jack and shout out: 'she's with me'.
A couple of sounds that I really like,
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike.
I'm a juvenile product of the working class,
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.
[repeat chorus]
Saturday's the night, yeah.
[repeat chorus]
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday night's alright.
[repeat and fade]
Not a bad cover of the Elton John version. Better than the original. These days it cat stand up to Nickelback's version. That one just sounds better. Mostly because of the recording quality.
The meaning of this one is pretty simple. Its about going into town, getting drunk, running amok, getting in fights and picking up chicks. All that makes it one of my pre-going into town favourites.
