6) The Enemy was a 1980s British punk band that formed in their local youth club, with several changes of personnel before they stabilized the following year as Mark Woodhouse (vocals), Steve "Mez" Mellors (guitar), Steve O'Donnell (bass), and Mark Herrington (drums). They played their first gig at Woodlands Youth Centre, and landed a support slot on Anti Pasti's gig in Huddersfield. They recorded their first single, "50,000 Dead" at Old Cottage Studios in Derby, releasing it on their own Tin Tin label. The single was quite successful and led to the band being signed to Fall Out Records, debuting on the label with "Fallen Hero" in May 1982, which reached number 44 in the UK Indie Chart. "Fallen Hero", an anti-war song, was also included on the Punk and Disorderly volume 2 compilation which reached the indie top 10. The band's third single was less successful, and Mellor was replaced by Kevin Lamb of local punk band Total Loss, who livened up the band's live performances.
Debut album Gateway to Hell was issued in 1983 to much critical acclaim and respectable sales. Herrington left the band before the album was released, to be replaced by Dave Hill. The band toured around Britain in support of the album, but were dropped by Fall Out, and moved to the local Rot label (run by Riot Squad's Dunk) for their next single, "Last But Not Least", which was followed by an album of the same name (now featuring a fifth member, lead guitarist Phil Maw), with tracks split between a live recording from The Bierkeller in Leeds and studio tracks recorded at Cargo Studios in Rochdale. The album turned out to be The Enemy's final release, with disappointing sales and musical differences prompting the band to call it a day.
Drummer Dave Herrington is still involved in music, having worked with Apes Pigs & Spacemen, Neil Finn, and Johnny Marr, and as a member of Arnold.

The Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saturday Saturday
Dead end friends on the washing line
Lining up for a dressing down
Frosty milkman in the morning
Desperate breakfast in a boring town
There's a train tonight we'll leave when you wanna leave
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Condensation on the window
Hides the sorrow of a weirdo's tears
Burnt out bins behind the station
Vandals lack imagination round here
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Take a look around and see what you wanna see
Live the dreams you had and be who you wanna be
There's a train tonight
We'll leave when you want to leave when you want
If you've seen the light
Then be who you want to be, who you want
There's a train tonight
We'll leave when you want to, leave when you want
If you've seen the light
Then be who you want to, be who you want
Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
The lyrics of The Enemy's song "Saturday" convey a sense of boredom and frustration with one's current situation, but also a sense of hope and possibility for change. In the first verse, the image of "dead end friends on the washing line" suggests a feeling of being stuck and going nowhere. The frosty milkman and desperate breakfast further emphasize the mundane and unfulfilling nature of everyday life in a boring town. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope, with the repetition of "Saturday Saturday" suggesting that the weekend provides an opportunity to escape and make things better. The lines "Take a look around and see what you wanna see" and "Live the dreams you had and be who you wanna be" further emphasize the idea of taking control and pursuing a more fulfilling life.
The second verse includes the image of condensation on a window hiding the tears of a weirdo, which suggests a sense of isolation and loneliness. The burnt out bins and lack of imagination among vandals further reinforce the idea of a stagnant and unfulfilling environment. However, once again the chorus offers hope and encouragement to "be who you want to be" and take control of one's own life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Saturday" convey a sense of frustration and boredom with everyday life, but also offer hope and encouragement to pursue a more fulfilling existence. The repetition of "Saturday Saturday" serves as a powerful reminder to take advantage of the free time and opportunities that exist on the weekends to make positive changes in one's life.
Line by Line Meaning
Saturday Saturday
Repeated refrain, emphasizing the significance of the day
Dead end friends on the washing line
Friends who are stuck in a rut, hanging out like clothes on a line
Lining up for a dressing down
Preparing to receive criticism or punishment
Frosty milkman in the morning
A cold, detached person delivering something necessary but unenjoyable
Desperate breakfast in a boring town
Eating out of necessity rather than enjoyment in a dull location
Take a look around and see what you wanna see
Encouragement to explore and find your own path
There's a train tonight we'll leave when you wanna leave
An opportunity to escape offered whenever desired
Condensation on the window
Sign of a humid, perhaps miserable atmosphere
Hides the sorrow of a weirdo's tears
Someone who is ostracized or different, crying in secret
Burnt out bins behind the station
Garbage containers that have been overfilled and destroyed
Vandals lack imagination round here
Those who seek to destroy or cause harm lack originality
Live the dreams you had and be who you wanna be
Pursue your aspirations and let them shape your identity
If you've seen the light
If you have had an epiphany or realization
Then be who you want to be, who you want
Act on that realization and become the person you desire
Saturday Saturday will make it all okay
Repeated line, attempting to instill comfort and hope
