Blue Flashing Light - Travis

Saturday evening…

Saturday evening

A quarter to five

Oh I would see him arrive at the door

Pushed you aside as he staggered inside

Spitting alcohol over the floor

A storm is a-brew

And it’s sure to fall soon

As I look at you from the shore

So you’d better hold on

Cos it’s Saturday night

And your friends are all out

And you feel like shit

Cos they never call you

No they never call you

No they never call, never call, never bloody ever …

«Call me a name and I’ll hit you again

You’re a slut, you’re a bitch, you’re a whore

Talk to your daddy in that tone of voice»

There’s a belt hanging over the door

So you run to your room and you hide in your room

Thinking how you can settle the score

But it’s Saturday night and a quarter to six

And your friends are all out

But you live in the sticks

Still they never call you

No they never call you

No they never call, never call, never bloody ever call

Blue flashing light last Saturday night

Brought the neighbours all out on the street

Watched as the firemen carried you out

Then we stared at each other’s feet

Now everyone sees and yet nobody says

Are we all just afraid of the heat?

But it’s Saturday night and I’m lying alone

In the bed that I made, disconnected the phone

Still they never called you

No they never called you

No they never call, never call, never bloody ever call
