Friday or Saturday, what does that mean?
Short space of time needs a heavy scene
Monday is coming like a jail on wheels
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
Forty-eight thrills
So tell me an' I'll take the tube
You know a girl, yeah well she's bound to be rude
Can't get nothing at the places I've been
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
Thrills
I've combed this town from top to bottom
Try to get around but my legs are broken
Every time I miss it 'cause I ain't got a ticket
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
The forty-eight thrills
Cheap thrills
Any kind of thrill
Kicking for kicks
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
Short space of time needs a heavy scene
Monday is coming like a jail on wheels
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
Forty-eight thrills
So tell me an' I'll take the tube
You know a girl, yeah well she's bound to be rude
Can't get nothing at the places I've been
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
Thrills
I've combed this town from top to bottom
Try to get around but my legs are broken
Every time I miss it 'cause I ain't got a ticket
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills
The forty-eight thrills
Cheap thrills
Any kind of thrill
Kicking for kicks
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills

One of my favorite the Clash tracks. Very underrated. It's just about trying to find something to do on Saturday and Sunday, and hating going back to your "jail cell" on Monday.
