Lyrics
Love can seem like a blood sport an exercise in pain
My lover took me to the mat again
Her vicious lies have cut me on Friday nights before
Like pugilists in a pyrrhic war
I fell with a rebel yell when I felt that sting
Full of sound and fury signifying nothing
Round after round that night the house cat and the lion
Next day it was over but for the cryin'
Did you read the news today?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! Lover buried on Saturday morning!
Tell me what did the headlines say?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! I was buried on Saturday morning!
She'd set her strategy; a scorched earth policy
Nothing left alive far as the eye could see
It don't bring happiness or anything like pride
But I hope it makes her warm inside
Did you read the news today?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! Lover buried on Saturday morning!
Tell me what did the headlines say?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! I was buried on Saturday morning!
BRIDGE
Two by two they walked on the filthy and the clean alike
That each should have its partner love is only right
Love is only right , why oh why must we fight, love is only right
Did you read the news today?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! Lover buried on Saturday morning!
Tell me what did the headlines say?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! I was buried on Saturday morning!
Did you read the news today?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! Lover buried on Saturday morning!
Tell me what did the headlines say?
Lover buried on Saturday morning! I was buried on Saturday morning!
REGGAE Outro:
Whoa she knocked me out
So count me out
I'm down again
Woe e oh e oh e oh!
