Em
Saturday evening at quarter to five

        Am
I would see him arrive at the door

D
Pushed you aside as he stagered inside

         Em
spilling alcohol over the floor

Em
A storm is a brew it is sure to fall soon

   Am
as I look at you from ashore

         G
So you'd better hold on
'cos it's saturday night
         Em
and your friends are all out
and you feel like shit
          G
'cos they never called you
no they never called you
        Em
no they never called, never called
Never bloody ever
Em
Call me a name and i'll hit you again

         Am
you're a slut, you're a bitch, you're a hore

D
talk to your dad in that tone of voice

          Em
there's a belt hanging over the door

       Em
so you run to your room, and you hide in your room

         Am
thinking how you could settle the score
chorus * 1
Em
The blue flashing light last saturday night

            Am
brought the neighbours all out on the street

D
they watched as the fireman carried you out

         Em
and they stared at each others feet

         Em
everyone sees yet nobody says

        Am
are you all just afraid of the heat

         G
but it's saturday night
and i'm lying alone
        Em
and the bed that i made
disconnected the phone
           G
still they never call you
no they never call you
        Em
no they never call, never call
Never bloody ever call
