Lyrics
Coming home from a late one last night
Returning home after a late night
Hunched in the back of the cab the rays of sunlight
Feeling tired and exposed to the morning sun
Wake me up what foolish things I might have done
Waking up unsure of actions done the night before
Can't remember anything, up comes the sun
Memory loss due to the night's events
My nose is wet and all my clothes are torn
Physical condition: wet nose, torn clothes
Drift off to sleep but then the driver sounds the horn
Trying to sleep but interrupted by the cab driver
And as I stumble out of the sliding door
Exiting the cab in a dazed state
Something clicks and I remember what happened before
Recalling events from the night before
Battered and bruised, it seems that you always lose
Constantly facing defeat or trouble
End up with your face on the floor
Ending up defeated on the ground
It seems you never learn with all the scars that you earn
Repeating mistakes despite accumulated scars
How many times has this happened before
Reflecting on repeated occurrences of such incidents
All the problems you face and the issues you make
Struggling with self-created problems
I'm surprised you've made it this far
Surprised at surviving despite challenges
Take it all in your stride, dust yourself off with pride
Dealing with challenges proudly, facing them head-on
Like the Saturday Night Fighter you are
Comparing oneself to a resilient fighter, facing challenges on Saturday nights
Now Friday's done, you're not finished the fun
Transitioning from Friday's activities to Saturday's prime time
Saturday is where you hit your prime
Saturday seen as the peak time for enjoyment
Wake yourself at nine, out the door and you're fine,
Starting the day early and feeling good with confidence
You'll be sound with your badge and a line
Feeling prepared with one's credentials and a line (possibly referring to a substance or a queue)
So now you're ready to go as the whistle blows
Ready to engage when the opportunity arises
Giving it large at the early kickoff
Engaging energetically from the start
Battered and Bruised, it seems that you always lose
Repeating the cycle of facing defeat or trouble
End up with your face on the floor
Ending up defeated on the ground again
It seems you never learn with all the scars that you earn
Reiterating the pattern of not learning from past experiences
How many times has this happened before
Reflecting on the repetition of such incidents
All the problems you face and the issues you make
Continuously grappling with self-created problems
I'm surprised you've made it this far
Surviving despite the challenges faced
But you take it all in your stride, dust yourself off with pride
Facing challenges with pride and resilience
Like the Saturday Night Fighter you are
Comparing oneself again to a resilient fighter
All the problems you face and the issues you make
Reiterating the struggle with self-created issues
Everyone's surprised you've made it this far
Others surprised by the survival despite challenges
But you take it all in your stride, dust yourself off with pride
Facing challenges with resilience and pride
Like the Saturday Night Fighter you are
Reinforcing the comparison to a resilient fighter
Why do you take it too far
Questioning why one consistently pushes boundaries
Why do you take it too far
Questioning the tendency to exceed limits
