At first glance this seems like yet another lads about town boozing and pulling song. But scratch deeper and it's much more than that. It's a song about growing up, about how the fun and games of youth can quickly, before you know it, turn into the drudgery of middle age. 
It's quite a sad song in a way but with an upbeat heavy metal riff it rocks along at a fair old pace. 
Of course it wouldn't be a Fingolstones song without the unique vocals of Norbert and on "Saturday" Norbert attempts an angry gnarly growl but ends up with the sound of a hen pecked accountant having his testicles slowly squeezed in a vice. Norbert actually damaged his voice during the recording of this song. Not a bad thing according to many a music critic but unfortunately for them he did recover

Oh how the Rock N Roll lifestyle can age you. Norbert aged 32.

Satdi’s gone by and we’d have a laugh
Round the town then to a club
Round the Salty, round the County
We just didn’t care we loved any old pub

Life was so much simpler then
Meet the lads then sup some beer
Down to Gardeners, down to Fleece
One thing on our minds and that was clear

Blivett, fanny, crack and mares
Totty, talent, hair pie and minge
Down at Panther, down at Spires
Blonde, brunettes and even ginge

Stagger our at closing time
Grab a burger, scoff some chips
Down to Moulin, down to Ackerman
See a fit bird shout show us your tits

Oh what a time we had
Always good and never bad
We were young and in our prime
We knew how to have a good time
But time passes quickly and before you know
Walking up that aisle you’ll go
Prepare yourself for all the strife
You took the plunge and you got a wife

Satdi’s now are not the same
Round the town on a shopping trip
Down to Tesco, down to Netto
I’ve got an ache in me arthritic hip

DIY stores all look the same
When you’ve been to two or three
Down to Homebase, down to B&Q
Me bladders playing up and I need a wee

The wife says that she needs new shoes
And she says she needs new clothes
Down to Dolcis, down to Top Shop
I’ve got hairs sprouting from my ears and nose

I’m falling to bits I really am
I no longer feel fit and sporty
Down to gym you’re having a laugh
I’m all clapped out and I’m just past 40

Oh my god I’m falling apart
All I seem to do is belch and fart
I get out of breath going up the stairs
My head is sprouting lots of grey hairs
The bit in the middle is wearing thin
And I seem to have grown a second chin
I feel like all the other middle aged men
Cos I know I’ll never be young again


No I’ll never be young again
No I’ll never be young again
