(Do You Remember) The Saturday Gigs? - Alternate Version

Lyrics

Sixty-nine was cheapo wine,
 Have a good time,
 What your sign?
 Float up to the Roundhouse
 On a Sunday afternoon.
 In Seventy we all agreed
 A King's Road flat was the place to be 'Cause Chelsea girls are the best in the world for company.
 In Seventy-one all the people come
 Bust a few seats but it's just in fun
 Take the Mick out of Top of the Pops
 We play better than they do
 (yeah, yeah, yeah) In Seventy-two we was born to lose We slipped down snakes into yesterday's news
 I was ready to quit
 But then we went to Croydon
 Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
 We do, we do
 Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
 We do, we do
 The tickets for the fantasy were twelve and six a time
 A fairy tale on sale
 Oh, Seventy-three was a jambouree
 We were the dudes and the dudes were we.
 (oh oh oh oh oh)
 Did you see the suits and the platform boots?
 (oh dear, oh boy, ...)
 In Seventy-four on the Broadway tour We didn't much like dressing up no more
 Don't wanna be hip - but thanks for a great trip.
 Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
 We do, we do
 Do you remember the Saturday gigs?
 We do, we do
 But now the kids pay a couple of quid
 'Cause they need it just the same
 It's all a game
 A grown-up game
 But you got off on those Saturday gigs
 And we did, we did
 'Cause you got off on those Saturday gigs
 And we did, we did
 And we got off on those Saturday gigs
 And you did, you did
 And we got off on those Saturday gigs
 'Cause you did, you did
 Don't you ever forget us
 We'll never forget you
 We're going to sleep now
 You better be good, right? (ha ha ha)
 See you next time [...?]
 So long for now
