The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, where it currently is. Saatchi's collection, and hence the gallery's shows, has had distinct phases, starting with U.S. artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. In 2008, an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.
The gallery has been a major influence on art in Britain since its opening. It has also had a history of media controversy, which it has courted, and has had extremes of critical reaction. Many artists shown at the gallery are unknown not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world: showing at the gallery has provided a springboard to launch careers.[citation needed]

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... okay
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away
Psycho killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run away
