The Saturday Boy Lyrics - Billy Bragg

I'll never forget the first day I met her 

That September morning was clear and fresh 

The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes 

And the way she rubbed herself 

Against the edge of my desk 

She became a magic mystery to me 

And we'd sit together in double 

History twice a week 

And some days we'd walk the same way home 

And it's surprising how quick 

A little rain can clear the streets 

We dreamed of her and compared our dreams 

But that was all that I ever tasted 

She lied to me with her body you see 

I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted 

The times we were close 

Were far and few between 

In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen 

Did she close her eyes like I did 

As we held each other tight 

And la la la la la la la la means I love you 

She danced with me and I still hold that memory 

Soft and sweet 

And I stare up at her window 

As I walk down her street 

But I never made the first team, 

I just made the first team laugh 

And she never came to the phone 

She was always in the bath 

I had to look in the dictionary 

To find out the meaning of unrequited 

While she was giving herself for free 

At a party to which I was never invited
