Eels · Meet The Eels: Essential Eels 1996-2006 1 [2008]
And who's gonna play with me?
Six in the morning, baby
I got a long, long day ahead of me
The parents are sleeping soundly
The neighbors are dead as wood
I'm getting up and coming over
We gotta rock the neighborhood
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But I got something that I gotta do
It's Saturday Morning
And this ain't the place for me
I'm giving you warning, baby
We got a whole big, fat, world to see
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But I got something that I gotta do
It's Saturday Morning
And who's gonna play with me?
Six in the morning, baby
I got a long, long day ahead of me
Saturday morning
Saturday morning
Saturday Morning - Eels
Eels' 'Saturday Morning' stands as a defining track from their 2008 compilation album, Meet The Eels: Essential Eels 1996-2006. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of orchestral arrangements and introspective lyrics, characteristic of their work spanning the mid-to-late 1990s. Recorded during a period where Eels began to refine their sound into a more polished, cinematic style, the track features layered vocals and sweeping instrumentation that underscore themes of nostalgia and quiet reflection. It remains a staple in their discography, often cited alongside other key releases from the era such as Hombre Lobo and Souljacker, illustrating the band's evolution from indie rock to a broader art-rock identity.
