Lyrics

[00:15.88] Sixty-nine was cheapo wine,
[00:19.71] Have a good time,
[00:21.86] What your sign?
[00:23.70] Float up to the Roundhouse
[00:27.05] On a Sunday afternoon.
[00:31.34] In Seventy we all agreed
[00:35.13] A King's Road flat was the place to be
[00:39.03] 'Cause Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company.
[00:46.51] In Seventy-one all the people come
[00:50.35] Bust a few seats but it's just in fun
[00:54.24] Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops
[00:57.68] We play better than they do (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[01:01.67] In Seventy-two we was born to lose
[01:04.96] We slipped down snakes into yesterday's news
[01:08.70] I was ready to quit
[01:10.54] But then we went to Croydon
[01:12.59] Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
[01:16.29] We do, we do
[01:19.87] Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
[01:23.56] We do, we do
[01:27.30] The tickets for the fantasy were twelve and six a time
[01:33.84] A fairy tale on sale
[01:50.26] Oh, Seventy-three was a jambouree
[01:54.29] We were the dudes and the dudes were we.(oh oh oh oh oh)
[01:57.97] Did you see the suits and the platform boots? (oh dear, oh boy, ...)
[02:05.56] In Seventy-four on the Broadway tour
[02:08.95] We didn't much like dressing up no more
[02:12.69] Don't wanna be hip - but thanks for a great trip.
[02:16.33] Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
[02:20.02] We do, we do
[02:23.61] Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
[02:27.35] We do, we do
[02:30.85] But now the kids pay a couple of quid
[02:34.68] 'Cause they need it just the same
[02:37.92] It's all a game
[02:41.07] A grown-up game
[02:58.02] But you got off on those Saturday gigs
[03:01.31] And we did, we did
[03:04.96] 'Cause you got off on those Saturday gigs
[03:08.60] And we did, we did
[03:12.33] And we got off on those Saturday gigs
[03:15.83] And you did, you did
[03:19.47] And we got off on those Saturday gigs
[03:23.11] 'Cause you did, you did
