A Saturday In July Lyrics

On a sunny Saturday in July

Everyone surrendered the streets

All back in their houses to fight for a seat

Not in colour only monochrome

Those pictures seen on the day

In our memories they've never faded away

Like no other Saturday in July

Came a time for national pride

To rise in our hearts as we cheered on our side

In that moment when we all held our breath

A comrade turned out a friend

Then our sights were set fighting on to the end

Soon a man placed his name in the hall of fame

For his phrase at the close of the final game

We knew then that we weren't dreaming

When the man's voice loaded with meaning

Said they think it's all over

It is now

Hey come on girl get your dancing shoes

There's no time to lose

Hey pretty one put that red dress on

For we shall dance all night long

Now another Saturday in July

Everyone's surrendered the streets

Still locked in their houses still watching repeats

Little else to do but savour times

When life was easy and free

Play the tape again it's what we all want to see

When that man made his claim for the hall of fame

With those words we've now heard time and time again

For we knew then that we weren't dreaming

When the man's voice loaded with meaning

Said they think it's all over

It is now
