Saturday
Per Gessle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin' down on a dream
It's Saturday
Kickin' the workin' week away is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world
It's Saturday and it's rainin' constantly
It's Saturday and the man on the TV-screen
want to sell me some shoes
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world
Saturday, I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
Saturday, I'm tryin' to find a space of my own
It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again
Oh the joy that it brings
It's Saturday
Kickin' the workin' week away is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day in a perfect world
Such a perfect day, what a perfect world
Saturday, I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
Saturday, I'm tryin' to find some space of my own
I'm tryin' to find some space of my own
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day in a perfect world
You better come on now
You better come on now
S-S-S-Saturday
I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
The song "Saturday" by Per Gessle is a catchy pop tune that celebrates the freedom and joy of the weekend, particularly Saturday. The repeated refrain about it being a "perfect day in a perfect world" emphasizes the singer's contentment and sense of escape from the mundane routine of the workweek. However, the verses also reveal some ambivalence about this state of affairs, as the singer struggles to find "some space of [their] own" amidst the distractions of rain, TV commercials, and the conflicting emotions of laughter and tears.
