Cold Chisel - Saturday Night Lyrics






Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night

Saturday night's already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don't mind
Show me a light, your company
Goes a little way to help me see
The path on which I'm bound
Rather than the things I leave behind

I've got the keys to the city
Baby
I can feel my luck
I got two days' money
If you light me up
This heart will shine on

"L'esclavage D'amour
It will be ours forevermore"
Words we both recall
Either from a lover, or the law
Saturday night, my steps have shown
I can walk away from all I've know
Goodnight, my friend, goodbye
Remember what they say,
When you're alone, laugh or die

Cold Chisel Saturday Night Comments
  1. a.... d....

    Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday night's already old...

  2. u.... ....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lelsyP9qL2I&t=3m26s JJ and Charlie. 2 kids who used to hang around the Bank amusement centre, Paradise, Persian Room and VIP nightclubs in the early 80s

  3. R.... T....

    Why dont we have great Aussie bands like this and great, classic Aussie songs like this anymore?
    Seems that the 80's was the one decade where Aussie bands were just doing amazing things.

  4. R.... T....

    Nightlife in Australia in the 80's was amazing. Of course I was too young at the time but I remember the sights as young kids as we passed by. There was so much atmosphere. It was raw, unadulterated. Wish I could have been old enough to be part of it.
    Sydney was the place to be.

  5. P.... M....

    I remember sat nights ....good times back then.

  6. N.... M....

    Fuck yeah

  7. J.... R....

    1:08 is that Borat?

  8. m.... s....

    Real Australia then, not now, never....

  9. s.... ....

    Bloke at 1:06 wonder if he ever realized he was in a music video?

  10. d.... c....

    nei miei anni giovanili trascorsi nella terra degli aussi ho scoperto la loro rinnovata musica. I Cold Chesel sono stati artefici della mia felicita, in quel periodo e porterò sempre con me i concerti ai quali ho assistito con grande gioia

  11. S.... A....

    Classic.. still live for Saturday nights. Enjoy

  12. J.... o....

    If you don't like it then why you standin err for 20mins!!!!

  13. K.... C....

    All the people lamenting the loss of Kings cross and wondering what went wrong.....!!!!!! Well yeah if you watch the video, its all those people hanging in the cross in the 80's and 90's who grew old and bitter and took the power to ruin it for everyone else! Boomer Trash!

  14. R.... B....

    So in love with this song...Always n Forever #2227

  15. F.... C....

    Just love the sax parts in this song ...

  16. D.... O....

    I've loved this song since it came out, it was the farewell song from when they announced their break up in 1983. But reading Jimmy Barnes' books, I learned that several people had told him that the Mardi Gras footage held images of friends of theirs who'd died of aids. Makes me see the video with fresh eyes. :)

  17. R.... I....

    Great song.👌🏾

  18. T.... L....

    Still better than Jake Paul “Saturday Night” song
    I remember Hey Hey It's Saturday used to use this song going in and out of commercial breaks.

  23. X.... C....

    Only song from them that I don't tire from. Love it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  24. C.... P....

    I was lucky enough to experience the cross in the late 90s while it was still a tad crazy. So sad to see the place deserted these days.

  25. A.... T....

    Saturday night
    Saturday night
    Saturday night
    Saturday night

    Saturday night’s already old
    Walking into Sunday, and I find
    All desires are cold
    I could walk forever, I don’t mind
    Show me a light, your company
    Goes a little way to help me see
    The path on which I’m bound
    Rather than the things I leave behind

    I’ve got the keys to the city
    Baby
    I can feel my luck
    I got two days’ money
    If you light me up
    This heart will shine on

    “L’esclavage D’amour
    It will be ours forevermore”
    Words we both recall
    Either from a lover, or the law
    Saturday night, my steps have shown
    I can walk away from all I’ve know
    Goodnight, my friend, goodbye
    Remember what they say,
    When you’re alone, laugh or die

  28. N.... M....

    ur momma
    Magic!!!
    NSW government ruined Saturday night.

  29. A.... C....

    It's Thing of the Day
    Remember when the cross wasn't a ghost town?
    Remember when the cross wasn't a ghost town?

  30. e.... w....

    Every time it is Saturday night I think of this ...

  31. M.... ....

    Satirday naight

  32. M.... N....

    2019 anyone? 😁🎶❤

    M.... N....

    2020 :D

  33. M.... m....

    It was a amazing time brings back so many memories a free for all just b a street smart kid and the world was your oyster!

  34. L.... 5....

    I'm watching Saturday morning 😂

  35. C.... S....

    How come this has completely different lyrics to the easybeats version or are they just completely different songs on purpose

  36. R.... ....

    What do cnts do sat night in cross nowadays?

    R.... ....

    stay at home with the family

  37. S.... ....

    Before smart phones social media and other bubble gum millennial lol generation stuff... Sydney used to be cheap and affordable for the working class, not anymore.. Now it’s a rip off dog eat dog urban jungle far worst than the past...

  38. O.... ....

    When you hear Dragon - Rain at 0:25

  39. R.... M....

    Again proving the best Chisel songs are the ones Ian Moss sings. Certainly gives a real feeling of what Sydney was like in the 80's with the video clip.

  40. U.... ....

    I love this song.. every time i hear it... My steps have shown, I could walk away from all i'v known..

  41. L.... K....

    Melbourne /' I'm watching.........................................................

    Who's a bigger

    suffer. I win.

    Chol. World wide known.
    That's NOT ADVANTAGE THATS LOSS FOR A WAR WANTING...

    THIS IS INDIGINOUS LAND
    YOUR LAND. No. BLACK AND DEADLY LAND.

    I IS THE LAW
    NO FATWA
    NO BOOGIE

    IM IT ... NO WAR

    NO WAR HERE

    EVER........

    Respect your self
    Your place or we'll go from African Australians back to where it was

    I don't give a scrap tv or two fucks....

    Beautiful princess but NOT ON MY WATCH.

    Sudan has pride and intelligence here

    LEAVE YOUR WARS ON FOREIGN SHORES
    OR ANSWER TO THIS ERE LAW

  42. M.... g....

    would love to go back and live in sydney during this period

    M.... g....

    Like to live dangerously?

    M.... g....

    No you wouldn't, it was shit.

    M.... g....

    @Dazza Howard You were shit.

  43. J.... H....

    Love this tune so much ... Reminds me of my life back then ... The boys wrote brilliant tunes. Most folk would have no idea how complex they are.

  44. j.... ....

    those days live on. i went down the cross a week ago, walked around a pile of spew and trod in some chewing gum. i looked at a hot hooker i didnt have the cash to screw and i felt young again.

    j.... ....

    jellyfishbones0 ..haha ..good times ay

  45. l.... ....

    Who else keeps AJAX in the bathroom

    l.... ....

    Haha ... I remember

    l.... ....

    Gun comment;)

  46. Y.... F....

    NSW government ruined Saturday night.

    Y.... F....

    you'd think as time went on things would become more progressive.. but I think new media, to be honest, is what has fucked it up. 3 irate citizens on Twitter can bring it all down. 20 years ago, the same 3 (without a soap box) would stomp up and down at the local cop shop and be told to walk away while the arseholes were put away. A bunch of incidents in a city of 5 million really equates to bugger all. What happens may be awful, but it's happened since the day dot and this sort of response is totally out of proportion and pisses hundreds of thousands of people off and erodes culture.. simply so a handful of people; who probably rarely, if ever, go out can feel better about themselves by saving the population from itself.

    Y.... F....

    @S S First of all mate they’re called coward punches or sucker punches, not king hits. Second of all, no they had fuck all to do with the red tape mafia that controls council decisions. By the way, whatever happened to the City of South Sydney?

    Y.... F....

    😂🤧😉

    Y.... F....

    The so called Lockout Laws will be lifted/scrapped on January 14 2020.
    Saturday night in Sydney will most likely return to its former glory? I guess?

    Y.... F....

    Rick Terscale
    If you call a spike in alcohol related violence, then yes, the overrated Kings Cross will be back to its “former glory”.

  47. D.... R....

    Well Sydney has changed quite a bit....

  48. E.... ....

    ah this country used to be great before politicians and political correctness fucked it up for everyone!

  49. D.... M....

    I was never a big fan of this song, until I heard Chisel do it live ( now one of my favourites). They were, are and always will be a LIVE band!!!

  50. P.... J....

    I remember Hey Hey It's Saturday used to use this song going in and out of commercial breaks.

  51. R.... D....

    Saturday Night

  52. D.... H....

    Best Australian band ever.

  53. R.... I....

    Great song.👌

  54. G.... ....

    the cross looks a bit different these days sadly :(

  55. R.... A....

    The darker side of Sydney just around time of underbelly.

  56. P.... W....

    Myself and 2 mates all just turned 17 in 84 , left Tassie on a $90 dole cheque , one way airfare was $45 to Melb. Then hitch hiked up the Hume to Sydney , got a place to stay and jobs, lived there for 3 months , we used to catch a red rattler from Granville to Liverpool and score a foil from the Bikies at the Railway Hotel , jump on another rattler smoking spliffs on the trip to the cross , fucking loved the 80's

    P.... W....

    Pinkenba Weighbridge HA!!Thats Awesome!!

  57. C.... N....

    Still better than Jake Paul “Saturday Night” song

    C.... N....

    What do you mean "still" better? Its like you're suggesting this song isn't great. This song is an Aussie rock piece of history. The Paul brothers will be forgotten within 2 years.

  58. D.... H....

    I love this song, brings back memories. I hate Sydney after living there but there is some good history.

    D.... H....

    Dazza Howard Hi Dazza Howard any relation to Ra Ra Howard From Brissy? Just Curious.

  59. S.... S....

    classic track

  60. d.... ....

    I think that bloke sitting outside Kings Cross Station is still there :)

  61. R.... I....

    Great song.😎

  62. M.... G....

    One of the great songs of its time. So raw.

  63. D.... M....

    Old school

  64. C.... G....

    Back in time when one could enjoy a night out in Sydney... How did it all go wrong.... One simple answer - out of touch politicians, bureaucrats, developers and so called do gooders that have all combined to bury Sydney into the dark ages... #RIPSydneynightlife

    C.... G....

    @jellyfishbones0 get a grip, yes you did. Everything you just said is hilariously stupid

    C.... G....

    @jellyfishbones0 Im gonna go out on a limb and say its new ethnic groups, the same people who caused the Australia day riots king hitting guys and killing people. Back in the day, you got in a fight, nobody got really hurt and sometimes you'd have a beer with the guy later.

    C.... G....

    @jellyfishbones0 too bad you are wrong mate. too many other races in sydney that is the problem. bring back white australia if you want good times to be had in the cities

    C.... G....

    @death to islam im rubbing my chin thinking about what you said, it makes sense.

    C.... G....

    Coz all in pub brawls, glassings , bouncer bashings, rapes and sexual assaults had absolutely nothing to do with it?

    Trust me, I saw alot in my youth and am thankful for some, not all of the changes

  65. H.... W....

    chisels classics love them all...

  66. J.... B....

    im watching this Saturday night.

  67. R.... I....

    Great song. 😎

  68. S.... S....

    Ian Moss made this..

  69. D.... K....

    when kings X was kings X, now its a cemetery killed by modern gentrification and authoritarian lock out laws

  70. I.... ....

    Regarding the intro to the studio version i think jimmy might have sustained a head trauma or is expressing OCD traits.

    Yes Jimmy I already know its Saturday night, what comes next?

  71. B.... ....

    Nichboy. Thing Of The Day. Good Game. Pocketeers. Anyone?

  77. R.... I....

    Great song. 👌

  78. M.... J....

    I'm not really a chisel fan but they have written a few brilliant songs, one of which is this and the reason is Ian Moss... I love his vocals, his voice is so orgasmic... so soulful and calming and his melodies and harmonies were always great... My other fave chisel song is when the war is over, and naturally he kills it in that but my biggest gripe has always been... why the fuck does Barnes always have join in, in the second verse and then take it over and ruins it for me, always hated screamers (unless we're talking metal that is haha) but like in hounddog, another song I love moss's vocals in but in that they are too short... yeah but what a great voice Ian moss had 👍🏻

    M.... J....

    @Tim's Witan It's a mix of chinese and african culture now. Or at least it will be when my kids are adults, without a white australia policy.

    B.... T....

    Yes Greg, totally agree, the landscape is changing to something unlike we have seen before.

  86. P.... W....

    To be honest Stockburger has a point. Australia did have a lot going for it.

  88. R.... S....

    back in the days when sydney was a worthwhile place to visit and party all night. Now it's all over red rover with the new lockout laws. Hope they don't do this here in the Gold Coast. Australia has got to be the most fucked up and retarded place on the planet. We were having a BBQ with family visiting from back home (Switzerland), at the Burleigh Heads park, with prawns and steak sizzling away, as my mum and dad made a compelling reason for me to leave Australia and return back to civilisation. Sorry, love the beach and climate above all. Then a couple of the local constabulary came along, apparently we can't enjoy a glass of red wine with our BBQ, and to add insult to injury we were forced to empty the entire $30 bottle of red on to the lawn. That made up my mind about my family's suggestion I should return to civilization. Back home in Switzerland you can enjoy a drink in public, you have freedom, the people aren't fucked up and retarded like aussies and actually possess some intelligence not needing the nanny state mentality that the bogan aussies are, as yep, I'm leaving this fucked up, pathetic excuse of a nation soon as well, Australia used to have a lot going for it, until the people's average IQ got so low, its now somewhere between that of a cockroach and a rat, and governments have to control everybody, even that tiny majority of us who take responsibility for ourselves and think before we act. Real shame.

    R.... S....

    +Roger Stockburger SeeYa.

    R.... S....

    Anyone who loves Australia should give this comment a thumbs up, 'cause we have taken something great and fucked it up big time. They used to say Australia was the lucky country. Today we are a tricky country run by lawyers, otherwise known as corrupt politicians who have created a bureaucratic dystopia. Under John Howard we had our highest ever immigration numbers - over 300 000, and the numbers continue to rise. A big price to pay for something we never asked for (or voted for) - a big Australia. Standard of living down the toilet, unaffordable housing, destruction of cultural heritage and the environment, it's all about making a quick buck these days. Great country Australia. If it's just as fucked overseas then overseas can get fucked too.

    R.... S....

    Roger Stockburger lol enjoy your lakes

    R.... S....

    Roger Stockburger You crack me up... You know nothing of Australia... And honestly I'm glad you went back home.. Is your comment about the song cause I'm thinking not or did you just think we as Australians really give a F*ck what you think about our country..

    R.... S....

    Roger Stockburger HE Has a POINT!!!Trust me!!OZ N SWISS Halfway Is the WAY!!GO CHISEL OILS N PRINCE

  89. D.... P....

    Remember when the cross wasn't a ghost town?

  90. B.... C....

    This song is so underrated! saw chisel last night was absolutely awesome!

    B.... C....

    +Brendan Clarke under rated by who?cold chisel have 1 of the best die hard followings of all austalian rock bands

    B.... C....

    +zane duffy Mate i said the Song is underated not the band. I was simply saying i think it's one of their best songs and it's not as well known as some of their other songs.

    B.... C....

    sorry mate

    B.... C....

    it brings me home evry time i listen to it :)

    B.... C....

    Mate, Every pub and radio station where playing this song for a good year or so after its release... so I don't think underrated is the right word.
