Saturday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Overtired, overworked, underpaid, under pressure
Always tying up loose ends
The unchained melody out of tune, remedy for the weekend
To cure the weekday blues
Raise my heart rate, inflate my pupils, give me something
Just to smoothen off the edge
Call me dumb, call me scum, call me plain and simple
As I'm holding on for this
[Chorus]
And if Saturday don’t come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
And if Saturday don't come soon, I’m gonna lose my mind
[Verse 2]
Inhabitable hole, skint, living like an animal
While they try to take my dole
Black mould on the wall
Must've made a thousand calls to get it sorted
But my landlord hates my soul
No power, working zero hour, making some cunt rich
Who will never understand what it's like down here
I raise my beer
[Chorus]
If Saturday don't come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
And if Saturday don't come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
Oh, and if Saturday don't come soon, I’m gonna lose my mind
Overtired, overworked, underpaid, under pressure
Always tying up loose ends
The unchained melody out of tune, remedy for the weekend
To cure the weekday blues
Raise my heart rate, inflate my pupils, give me something
Just to smoothen off the edge
Call me dumb, call me scum, call me plain and simple
As I'm holding on for this
[Chorus]
And if Saturday don’t come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
And if Saturday don't come soon, I’m gonna lose my mind
[Verse 2]
Inhabitable hole, skint, living like an animal
While they try to take my dole
Black mould on the wall
Must've made a thousand calls to get it sorted
But my landlord hates my soul
No power, working zero hour, making some cunt rich
Who will never understand what it's like down here
I raise my beer
[Chorus]
If Saturday don't come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
And if Saturday don't come soon, I'm gonna lose my mind
Oh, and if Saturday don't come soon, I’m gonna lose my mind
[Outro]
And if Saturday don’t come soon
Oh, oh, Saturday
And if Saturday don't come soon
No, no, oh yeah
And if Saturday don’t come soon
Oh, oh, Saturday
And if Saturday don't come soon
No, no, oh yeah
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The song is about the injustices the working class has to endure, week after week and with only the weekend to serve as a break from it all.
Sam admitted in an interview of having thought about giving the song away after having written it because he felt like it was a ‘pop song’. He ended up keeping the song after playing it to the man who signed him and being told that there was no way he would give it away.
