Saturday Night

"There's 52 ways to murder anyone" - There are (usually) 52 Saturdays in a year the person in the song could be dating and killing, we're inclined to think women, on Saturday nights. Maybe in his time killing he has murdered 52 different women 52 different ways.

One and two are the same, and they both work as well" - All methods he's used so far have achieved desired results. (the women die)

"I'm coming clean for Amy" - I think Amy was one of his victims whom he totally fell in love with.

"Julie doesn't scream as well" - After Amy he could not find any fulfillment in his victim(s) during the normal routine. Julie could represent 1-51 other women.

"and the cops won't listen all night." - Perhaps he is only confessing for Amy, or for a select few other victims because the cops won't listen to him(they totally would for 52 murders, so maybe he has killed tons of people this line is kinda strange)

"And so maybe I'll be over just as soon as i fill them all in" - his murdering escapade will be over once the cops have been filled in good and proper.

Next few lines are reminiscing on Amy with some juicy 50s horror allusions thrown in. Chorus - No longer dating and killing on Saturday night, he breaks into tears as he remembers his brief time with Amy, regretting not telling her of his true feelings for her before she died.

"As the Moon becomes the night time you go viciously, quietly away, I'm sitting in the bedroom: where we used to sit and smoke cigarettes. Now I'm watching you die." - His final moments with Amy. Gotta love that smokin' cigarettes in the bedroom like 50s youth feeling you get here. I dunno how you could think this song isn't about killing anyone, It's possible Graves wanted to write a song about regret due to some love problems he had in his life, and due to being in the misfits threw in the 50s horror theme into the song. Truth may never be known but this song definately involves a serial killer. My two cents, cheers.

I'm sorry guys but you are all SOOO wrong about this song! He didn't kill anyone. "There are 52 ways to murder anyone", he means there are 52 ways to break anyones heart."One and two are the same", like cheating or falling out of love they hurt just as much. He is coming clean for amy because he used to love her, just like he used to love julie, but amy was the one he was really in love with but he messed it up and is now in love with someone else. However, the girl he is now in love with doesn't want him because he hurt her too. But he says "maybe he'll be over once he fills them all in", all of them are the graves he speaks of earlier, but it's a metaphor for ending his relationships for good with all of these other girls. And so he's "crying on a saturday night.", " the backseat of the drive in is so lonely without you." because he wants to be with this new girl.

I agree with horrore, love this song, one of the few that I really enjoy by graves, the more I listen to it the more I hear the pain in his voice and the creepiness of the whole song makes me love it more.

I'm pretty sure this is about a psychopath that kills his girlfriends (or his dates). The words "I know when you're home" indicates he stalks his victims, and "the cops won't listen all night" seems to indicate he was having sex inside of his car, at the drive in, before killing his girl. Misfits is great at creating such an atmosphere like in this song, of a ballad with smooth lyrics but they're actually talking about murder.

i think its about him losing someone (and or killing her) and is regreting it because he misses her...pretty touching for misfits

i think that one part Rotten is like hes saying he is trying to admit his problems to "amy" about killing julie and the cops are stupid in the night (in my opinion) and he is telling her that he might be over later just as soon as he tells everyone his problems... this song to me is about trying to over come the addiction or just admit what you have done wrong in the past.

Sure,It talks about killing julie, but it seems like it relates to anyone who's ever ended a relatinship and regreted it. "I was thinking about you, there was something I forgot to say. I was crying on saturday night."

he killed da bitch

I love this song. I think his feelings toward amy is he wants to come clean for the girl. He truly loves her. and now that shes gone his Saturdays are lonely. Don't really know!!!!! But thats what comes to my mind. Anyways I love this song!!!!

I am planning to make a music video of this song... with two of my friends. One of them will be playing guitar in it (in the background) and the other will be singing / main character/

I am thinking about not trying to make the video too specific... meaning i wont include murder in the vid.

half of it will be them "playing/singing" and during the chorus it will be shots of the guy driving and singing...

What do you think?

BTW I think both Danzig and Graves kicked @ss... and Jerry Only needs vocal lessons...
