Well they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight  
I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right  
I may use a little muscle to get what I need  
I may sink a little drink and shout out “She’s with me!”

A couple of the sound that I really like  
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike  
I’m a juvenile product of the working class  
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

Don’t give us none of your aggravation  
We had it with your discipline  
Saturday night’s alright for fighting  
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train  
Gonna set this dance alight  
`Cause Saturday night’s the night I like  
Saturday night’s alright alright alright

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week  
'Cause that’s the night that my sweetie and I  
Used to dance cheek to cheek  
I don’t mind Sunday night at all  
'Cause that’s the night friends come to call  
And Monday to Friday go fast  
And another week is past

[Don’t come on Tuesday when I want to leave  
And by Wednesday 2 p.m. I might not show up but  
There is a day when I sound O.K.  
No, it isn’t Friday, Friday I wheeze  
See me on a Monday please.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CugVdbyX2A)

I met her on a Monday, and my heart stood still.  
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.  
Somebody told me that her name was Jill.  
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.  
Yeah, my heart stood still.  
Yeah, her name was Jill.  
And when I walked her home,  
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.

I don’t care if Monday’s blue  
Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too  
Thursday I don’t care about you  
It’s Friday I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart  
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart  
Thursday doesn’t even start  
It’s Friday I’m in love

Saturday wait  
And Sunday always comes too late  
But Friday never hesitate

Everybody wants a new romance  
Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end  
Everybody needs a second chance

Somebody’s going to hurt someone  
Before the night is through  
Somebody’s going to come undone  
There’s nothing we can do  
Everybody wants to touch somebody  
If it takes all night  
Everybody wants to take a little chance  
To make it come out right.

What have I become  
My sweetest friend  
Everyone I know  
goes away  
In the end  
And you could have it all  
My empire of dirt  
I will let you down  
I will make you hurt

If I tell you  
If I tell you now  
Will you keep on  
Will you keep on loving me  
If I tell you  
If I tell you how I feel  
Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo  
You give me, you’re giving me the sweetest taboo  
Too good for me

It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me.  
It’s so deep I don’t think that I can speak about it.  
It could take me all of my life,  
But it would only take a moment to

Tell you what I’m feeling,  
But I don’t know if I’m ready yet.  
You come walking into this room  
Like you’re walking into my arms.  
What would I do without you?

Take away the love and the anger,  
And a little piece of hope holding us together.  
Looking for a moment that’ll never happen,  
Living in the gap between past and future.  
Take away the stone and the timber,  
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it together.

Our thoughts are sadder now  
For we know the time is nigh  
When I must remove your wings  
And you must try to fly

That crash you heard a minute ago  
Was me falling for you  
Just like Humpty Dumpty,  
I went bumpty-bumpty  
You gave me the biggest thrill  
That I ever knew.  
The moment that we started to kiss  
I met my Waterloo  
I jumped off the roof just as gay as a clown  
I thought I was flying until I looked down  
That crash you heard a minute ago  
Was me falling for you.

Promises of no more lies  
Fell flat upon an empty stage  
Before the audience arrived  
A return in time to the cheaper seats  
She never knew what lay beneath  
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets

Let down before the final curtain  
A shallow heart that left her cold  
She left in rouge upon the mirror  
A circled kiss to the faithful who’d miss her

And you can cage the songbird  
But you can’t make her sing  
And you can trap the free bird  
But you’ll have to clip her wings  
Cause she’ll soar like a hawk when she flies  
But she’ll dive like an eagle when she dies

A girl to her lover then softly sighed,  
There’s riches at her command;  
But she married for wealth, not for love, he cried,  
Though she lives in a mansion grand.

She’s only a bird in a gilded cage,  
A beautiful sight to see,  
You may think she’s happy and free from care,  
She’s not, though she seems to be,  
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life,  
For youth cannot mate with age,  
And her beauty was sold,  
For an old man’s gold,  
She’s a bird in a gilded cage.

Like a bird on the wire,

If I leave here tomorrow  
Would you still remember me?  
For I must be travelling on, now,  
'Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.  
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,  
Things just couldn’t be the same.  
'Cause I’m as free as a bird now,  
And this bird you can not change.  
Lord knows, I can’t change.

Spilishin’ and a splashin’
