Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

At the weekend, I’m going to the joint gig with Suede and Manic Street Preachers. I love both these bands, so I’m ridiculously excited and I want to share a track from both of them (so no prizes for guessing what’s coming next week!) This week, it’s the turn of Suede.

Suede: Saturday Night

Today she’s been working
She’s been talking
She’s been smoking
It’s gonna be alright
‘Cause tonight we’ll go dancing
We’ll go laughing
We’ll get car sick

And it’ll be okay like everyone says
It’ll be alright and ever so nice
We’re going out tonight
Out and about tonight

Oh whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright

Today she’s been sat there
Sat there in a black chair
Office furniture
But it’ll be alright
‘Cause tonight we’ll go drinking
We’ll do silly things
And never let the winter in

And it’ll be okay like everyone says
It’ll be alright and ever so nice
We’re going out tonight
Out and about tonight

Oh whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright

We’ll go to freak shows and peepshows
We’ll go to discos, casinos
We’ll go where people go and let go

Oh whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright

Oh whatever makes her happy
On a Saturday night
Oh whatever makes her happy
Whatever makes it alright

Oh oh la la la la la la
Oh oh la la la la la la
Oh oh la la la la la la
Oh oh la la la la la la
Oh oh la la la la la la
