Saturday Gig

In '69 was cheaper wine, have a good time, "What's your sign?"
Float up to the Roundhouse on a Sunday afternoon
In '70 we all agreed, a King's Road flat was the place to be
'Coz Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company

In '71 all the people come, lost a few seats but it's just in fun
Take the mick out of 'Top of the Pops' - we play better than they do (yeah, year')
In '72 was born to lose, we slipped down snakes into yesterday's news
I was ready to quit, but Bowie came from Croydon!

Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do. We do.

Tickets for the band to see were 12 and 6 a time - a fairy tale.

In '73 was a jamboree; we were the dudes and the dudes were we
Did you see the suits and the platform boots?
(Oh dear, oh Lord, oh my, oh my oh)
In '74 on a Broadway tour we didn't much like dressing up no more
[Something something something something] but thanks for the 'plane trip!

Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do. We do.

But now the kids pay a couple of quid 'coz they need it just the same, it's all a game - a grown-up game.
