Words and Music: Travis Transcribed by: David Wells ---------------------------------------------------------
Dm
Saturday evening at quarter to five

        Dm
I would see him arrive at the door

C
Pushed you aside as he stagered inside

         Dm
spilling alcohol over the floor

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

   Dm
as I look at you from ashore

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

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

C
talk to your dad in that tone of voice

          Dm
there's a belt hanging over the door

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

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

            Dm
brought the neighbours all out on the street

C
they watched as the fireman carried you out

         Dm
and they stared at each others feet

         Dm
everyone sees yet nobody says

        Dm
are you all just afraid of the heat

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