lyrics

On a Saturday
Just like Dad said
We married the first one to take an interest
The first one to come along
We eat together
We feel we ought to
Own a sweet little computer
There's some good stuff on there
That I watch more often that I should

Well what happened? What happened here?
It was so loud I felt the need to call my neighbour.
Well here is money and here is glass, and here's a hole.

Out for the evening
We scared each other silly,
She drove on the way home
Oh we looked so pretty
With that orange light crossing our face
Going much too fast to give a thumbs up
And a beep beep beep beep beep beep would be over the top
It's a resurfaced road for everyone
And the service industry well its been very good to me

Well what happened? What happened here?
It was so loud I felt the need to call my neighbour.
Well here is money and here is glass, and here's our hole.

Sir its a ramraid, a smash and grab
I'm a professional, but even I had to laugh,
Tore down the high street,
Dragging the ATM.
Cash covered everything
So easily done.
Did you see anything?

You know this road reminds me of where we first met,
A bowling alley next to a Frankie and Bennies,
But I don't work there anymore
At the leisure park with a lifetime of singles,
And words for everyone
Singing along with the chart and snapping chewing gum.

Well what happened? What happened here?
It was so loud I felt the need to call my neighbour.
Why here is money! And here is glass!
And here's our home!

Last night I woke and it wasn't a dream, and there were all these banknotes lying in the street, so we got out of bed and before anyone could see us, we gathered up as much as we could carry and we spent it all on luxury items again, yeah we spent it all on luxury items again, luxury items, and a holiday.
