Saturday Night Is Dead - Graham Parker, The Rumour

Everybody just looks ugly now information don’t compute

I draw a blank every time I think

The football crowd is going to give me a boot

And Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead

It don’t matter what they say

You’ve got to use your own head some day

D A E (intro chords)

Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead Yeah it’s dead

The ultraviolet light hurts me so it used to be my friend

I used to know a good place to go but now it’s nothing like it was then

Chorus (Word variation)

And Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead

It don’t matter what they say I’m going to the funeral Sunday

Saturday night is dead Saturday night is dead Yeah it’s dead

Bridge

It must have been murder it ain’t no accident

Oh no it means nothing to me

The clock goes tick tick tick in my head

Saturday is dead Saturday is dead (solo over A and Bm)

I look inside to find a place to hide but there ain’t no place I know

It’s just as well that I’m stupified it makes it easy

It makes it easy to deliver the fatal blow

(Intro chords)

Deliver deliver deliver

Chorus (First version)

Saturday night is dead repeat and end
