Saturday Night
The C.R.S. Players Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Suzie was one-of-a-kind living a dozen lives
She'd always try and act them out
Today she was a pop beauty queen,
Then a ranking marine
And it's me in her target now

I don't know how she tells me that she's moving out again expecting I'll be cool with this
I don't know why it feels like such a capital crime to leave her stranded.

she called me with the sound of the road in the background
I know that her focus was a little out
So what was I supposed to do?
I checked her out for a few to see what this was all about

she says she knew we'd always marry it would end up like a fairy tale;
Together for all time
I tell her through her long eye lashes that I don't need her hot flashes as she opens her mouth

"why is it on a Saturday night, a Saturday night?
You had to go and bring me down
It's always on a Saturday night, a Saturday night
I thought that you would want me" (x2)

"why'd you have to bring me down?"

there's no use turning back
There's no use turning back

suzie called a couple of days ago
She's taking the train
She's making her way out of town
I thought that she was headed to earth but now she's off to mars

"why is it on a Saturday night, a Saturday night?
You had to go and bring me down
It's always on a Saturday night, a Saturday night
I thought that you would want me"

"always on a Saturday night, a Saturday night




You had to go and bring me down
Always on a Saturday night, and now you're off to mars

The singer seems to be caught off guard with Suzie's frequency of leaving, and he struggles to come to terms with it.


The song's core theme revolves around the frustration and the inadequacies of the singer's relationship with Suzie. She calls him on a Saturday night to let him know she's leaving yet again. The singer feels like he is always expected to be supportive of her frequent departures, and he doesn't understand why she's so quick to leave.

Give credit to Mr. Dodd, he was the only one up there asking legitimate questions, actually thinking about the safety of his students, admitting to his mistakes, trying to correct them, reporting the racist behavior at his school, getting a second opinion for clarity, and thanking the board members for their hard work. Compared to all those other whack jobs in there, he WAS doing a good job.

GiveMeMusicOrGiveMeDeath

Yeah but he’s a teacher and as the kid of a teacher and a teacher myself, school boards treat us like crap

@flewkisdead he said he was an earth science teacher

@Sheryl Smallwood-Valdivia Purely by accident, too.

Great Day

He's quite clueless as to what is racist, though. But great performance, agreed!

flewkisdead

@Markus Fuchs Hopefully, he's not an English teacher.

Ego Nwodim is startlingly good at portraying school officials. The intonation and facial expressions are spot on.

@pop5678eye I’ve seen that one recently - it’s a forgettable sketch but I get why the recommendation. There are occasional exceptions to anyone’s overwhelming MO.

@Bryce G. Dude, look up 'SNL Ego parent-teacher conference.'
