Saturday Night Lyrics
She's been talking, she's been smoking,
But it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing,
We'll go laughing, we'll get car sick,
And it'll be okay
Like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
Sat there in a black chair, office furniture,
But it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking
we'll do silly things, and never let the winter in,
And it'll be okay
Like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
...we'll go to peepshows and freak shows,
We'll go to discos, casinos,
We'll go where people go and let go...
...oh whatever makes her happy...
Absolutely gorgeous song. About a guy who works all day, and whose main reason for existing and carrying on is a girl. She also works, is fed up with her job, and he feels that he can make her life worthwhile on a Saturday night at the weekend. Wonderful, wonderful song.
And it has Keeley Hawes in the video. What else do you want?!
"lovey dovey" eh?... ...no, I honestly don't think so... ;-) It's rather about blowing one's mind in order to forget, for one night, the trivial everyday unsatisfying life of the rest of the week... So it may apparently sound fun, but there's an underlying desperation there...
I think I'd have to agree with everyone who says this song is a commentary on the emptiness and superficial pleasures of nightlife, and has a darker message than just being a love song or whatever. The depressing music video at least seems to imply this.
wow discos, casinos, and drinking! your life at 10 must've been real fun!! =)
Just to say, the video to this song is one of my favourite music videos ever. The tude station setting captures the feeling of going out in London very well.
Maybe my focus is unusual, because I do the work I do....but I have allways thought that the song is about a couple, who has had a personal tradegy, maybe lost a child or got cancer? That is why the everyday life seems so meaningless in the song, and that is why she gets what she wants on a saturday night, and that is why they have to go out to forget what has happened for a little while, constantly reassuring themselves that "it will be allright"/"it will be ok" and wanting to let go? Maybe the black chair is even the office furniture at a doctors office?
there's no posts about this song? jeeeeeeeez. well im the first. This song reminds me of my true home, london, where i no longer live, loved it since it was release back in good ol 1996/97. best 2 years of my life, even if i was only 10.
I thought it was a rather nonchalant song. This song came out when i was 13/14.. And the Djs loved to play it on saturdays. At that time staying out late at night was still a novelty and i get wide eyed excited about it. Listening to this song made me wonder whether ten years down I'd be spending my saturdays like this.. Grin.
LOVEY DOVEY SONG.
"LOVEY DOVEY SONG."
No. It really isn't.
