SATURDAY MAYBE lyrics depict someone feeling apathetic and unmotivated, just letting the days pass by without making plans or having anything to look forward to. The repetition of “Saturday maybe” suggests a noncommittal attitude, not making concrete weekend plans but just thinking vaguely that something might happen on Saturday. The lyrics convey boredom, loneliness and lack of purpose, with time feeling stretched out endlessly with no excitement ahead. Overall the tone is one of listlessness, ambivalence and resignation rather than optimism or engagement with life. Do read SATURDAY MAYBE lyrics below.
SATURDAY MAYBE lyrics
factory chimney cough yellow smoke
trucks and trains go rumbling
throw down your key from your window high
your man’s out drinking
neighbours thinking evil
lead by the the lights of your electric fire
your grey slips falls around your feet
and across the sheet your nut brown curls go tumblingwe don’t have long before he comes home from the bar
I’ll be gone a week of sundays
meet me by the bronze horse or the clock tower
try to come Friday, Saturday maybe
don’t cry now you’ll freak the baby
trucks and trains go rumbling
throw down your key from your window high
your man’s out drinking
neighbours thinking evil
lead by the the lights of your electric fire
your grey slips falls around your feet
and across the sheet your nut brown curls go tumblingwe don’t have long before he comes home from the bar
I’ll be gone a week of sundays
meet me by the bronze horse or the clock tower
try to come Friday, Saturday maybe
don’t cry now you’ll freak the baby
