  • Ber Da Bird from Tri-peaks MinnesotaThere are certain songs that can express the nature of my being during unpleasant or heady times. Save It For Later fit the bill when I figured out and asked a female friend was having an affair. She first lied. Had her lover text me. Began discrediting me any way she could for fear I would reveal her secret. It was simple. We never were friends. I text her a short message wrapping it nicely together and told her, Save It For Later was written for women just like her. I feel great. Without guilt or separation anxiety over losing a partner. And the Beat goes on.
  • Boomer from Nysubtlety salacious? "Just hold my hand while i come"
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn April 23rd 1983, the English Beat performed "Save It For Later" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    It did not chart on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, but did reached #58 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart.
  • Eb from Fl Keys, Fl"Just hold my hand while I come...to a decision on this."
    :::Sigh:::great song
  • Dave from Flushing, NyHey Jack, I recall hearing the song as well at Max's. I remember the guy who wrote it. He looked to be about 15. Arrogant little punk.
  • Jack Paultry from New York, NyI recall hearing a similar song in New York (CB'S?) back in the mid 1970's. Maybe it was the drugs I waz doing at the time.
  • Sam from Seattle, WaThis song is in the 1996 movie "Kingpin"
  • Justin from Woodstock, NyPete Townsend performs an acoustic version of Save It For Later on his 1986 album "Deep End Live," and Pearl Jam often sing a portion of it in concert, when playing their song Better Man.
