Mott The Hoople — Do You Remember The Saturday Gigs

Sixty-nine was cheapo 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 'Cause Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company In '71 all the people come Bust 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, yeah, yeah) In '72 we was born to lose We slipped down snakes into yesterday's news I was ready to quit But then we went to Croydon Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do, we do Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do, we do The tickets for the fantasy were twelve and six a time A fairy tale on sale Oh, '73 was a jamboree We were the dudes and the dudes were we (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Did you see the suits and the platform boots? (oh dear, oh boy...) In '74 on the Broadway tour We didn't much like dressing up no more Don't wanna be hip – but thanks for a great trip Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do, we do Do you remember the Saturday gigs? We do, we do But now the kids pay a couple of quid 'Cause they need it just the same It's all a game A grown-up game But you got off on those Saturday gigs And we did, we did 'Cause you got off on those Saturday gigs And we did, we did And we got off on those Saturday gigs And you did, you did And we got off on those Saturday gigs 'Cause you did, you did Don't you ever forget us We'll never forget you We're going to sleep now You better be good, right? (ha, ha, ha) See you next time So long for now
