10:15 Saturday Night Lyrics
10:15
10:15
Saturday night
Saturday night
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Waiting
Waiting
For the telephone to ring
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
Where she's been
And I'm crying
And I'm crying
For yesterday
For yesterday
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
It's always the same
It's always the same
10:15
Saturday night
Saturday night
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Waiting
For the telephone to ring
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
Where she's been
And I'm crying
And I'm crying
For yesterday
For yesterday
And the tap drips
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
It's always the same

This song is pretty self-explanatory, especially for a Cure song. Waiting for the phone, water dripping. -drip- -drip- -drip- -drip-
Yes, the song is pretty self-explanatory. But just for the hell of it, im going to stick this in here- Robert Smith says of the song "10:15 Saturday Night was written at the table in our kitchen. Watching the tap dripping, feeling utterly morose, drinking my dad's homemade beer...my evening had fallen apart, and i was back at home feeling very sorry for myself!" This is one of the first Cure songs i ever heard, and the one that clinched my obsession for The Cure. i make it a point to listen to it every saturday night, as close to 10:15 as i can.
The beauty of the cure has always been in the profundity of their art. Listen deeply to how every aspect of the song is another dripping sound all leading into the moment of frenzied frustration with the guitar grinding. The bass line, the drums, the drooling guitar chords. Listen carefully...
It means "TEENAGE EXISTENTIALISM".

An experiment, a trial in song-scaping by a young band of misfits steeped in literature and punk influences. Mixing anarchy with water torture on a night usually reserved for more social and exciting affairs.
reminds me of being a teenager.. cept these days i know how to fit a washer on a tap
Well to me it reminds me of when a family member or lover doesn't come home one night and your just waiting, worried sick, for them to come home. Every sound you hear in the house, you think it's them.
It sounds as if Robert Smith is talking of a rogue lover he adores but knows she doesn't love him as he lives her, and he waits for her patiently to arrive home "Where she's been And I'm crying for yesterday " . It could also be as simple as a teenager party song but what sort of teenage song calls for such sorrowful and passionate vocals??
this song depresses me a bit. that's exactly what i do on a saturday night, NOTHING! and yet, this song is one of my many favorites that i can't get enough of . . . .
There are 4 versions of this song on the expanded Three Imaginary Boys. Why?
Also, I love this song. It's haunting.
