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
