It was Saturday, I thought I'd have a sleep
Now I lay me down, I pray the lord my soul to keep
But as I settled in to rest for a while
The knock upon my door, revealed a bottle and a smile.
Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle
Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle
Ok, so I resign myself, they can stay half an hour
Then I know that I must reassert myself, reassert my power
They start to play a little music, "Please, quietly" I say
I'm wondering what happened to my restful day
Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle
Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle
In the corner we've got a base drum pumping
and in my lounge room there's 200 people jumping
I thought about this time, I'd be lying back and dreaming
Not running, jumping, laughing, smoking, baby screaming.
