Hey girls, you better listen to me
I'm getting starved for your company
All day Monday, and all day Tuesday
I played football, there's nothing on the telly

Ever since I was just 13 years old
Well, I always felt shy but I acted so bold
I never had the money and I never had the class
But I always seemed to get myself a Saturday night piece of ass

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go

Saturday morning and you can see me at the pub
And I'm pissing away me money and I can't stand up
Cab fare, pop, you look silly in the road
Get in everybody, where the boys all go

Hey never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from me

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, stand around and grope
Where the boys all go, showing off their clothes
Where the boys go, down the disco
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go

Hey girls, what you doin' tonight?
Now do you want to dance, or do you want to bite?
Look here, darlin', I know the score
Paint your face, dye your hair, I'll see you round the back

Hey never keep a secret from you
Never keep a secret from me
Never keep a secret from you

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go

Where the boys go, Saturday night
Where the boys all go, hold me tight
Where the boys go, for a giggle and a laugh
Where the boys go, and a little piece of ass
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of this
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of that
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of stick
Where the boys all go, for a little piece of cunt
Where the boys all go, where the girls are now

Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go
Where the boys all go, where the boys all go
Where the girls are now, where the boys all go

    After reading the lyrics, this song sounds like the Stones incorporating both Disco and Punk into pop culture at the time. Jagger mentions "at the disco", and tells a girl to dye her hair and paint her face, a strong facet of punk music back in 1980. Both Some Girls and Emotional Rescue remind me of New York City.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
