The Specials – Friday Night, Saturday Morning lyrics

The Specials – Friday Night, Saturday Morning lyrics

Out of bed, at 8:00 am
Out my head by half past 10
Out with mates and dates and friends that's what I do at weekends
I can't talk and I can't walk but I know where I'm going to go
I'm going to watch my money go at the Locarno, no
When my feet go through the door, I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night, trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights moving legs and footless tights
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I like to venture in to town
I like to get a few drinks then
The floor gets packed, the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party has saved the night, free themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in a circle 'round their leather bags
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

But 2 O'Clock has come again, it's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed 'cause their pies are really nice
I eat it in the taxi queue, stood in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt instead of piss stains on my shoes
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

This song captures the joyless weekend activities of British youth. Going out, getting pissed, eating some shitty food in a taxi rank and going home. The Locarno was a night club in Coventry where the band are from, and was known for its fights. It is now a library. This culture of getting pissed at the weekend hasn't changed since this song was written in 1980. The best line is wish I had lipstick on my shirt instead of piss stains on my shoes. Every guy goes out on a friday night to 'pull a bird' yet inevitably goes home with nothing but a hangover.
