Lyrics
Big Dipper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The mist rolls off the beaches,
the train rolls into the station.
Weekend happiness seekers pent-up saturation.
Well, we don't mean anyone any harm,
we weren't on the Glasgow train.
I'll see you at the Pleasure Beach,
roller-coasting heroes.
Big Dipper riding,
we'll give the local lads a hiding,
if they keep us from the ladies,
hanging out in the penny arcades.
Shaking up the Tower Ballroom.
throwing up in the bathroom.
Landlady's in the backroom
Well I'm the Big Dipper
it's the weekend rage.
Rich widowed landlady give me your spare front door key.
If you're 39 or over, I'll make love to you next Thursday.
Well I may stay over for a week or two,
drop a postcard to my mum.
I'll see you on the waltzer
we'll go big-dipping daily.
Big Dipper riding,
we'll give the local lads a hiding,
if they keep us from the ladies,
hanging out in the penny arcades.
Shaking up the Tower Ballroom,
throwing up in the bathroom.
Landlady's in the backroom.
Well I'm the Big Dipper
it's the weekend rage.
Big Dipper
it's the weekend...
Big Dipper...
it's the weekend rage.
