	Story Behind the Song My band, Roll's Boys loves (songs about) bars, so I tried to write one as well. This is my demo. The singing is not optimal, because I had a terrible cold. Lyrics Memories Of A Crowded Barroom 1. I walked into a barroom, sat down and had a beer It was my first night in this town, the first time I’d been here Then I looked around and noticed, I was the only one Not a soul around here in this place, sure quiet for this time A friday night in London, a million people on the streets The bartender was an old grey man, with a friendly face Said; “Son, I know you’re wondering, why no one is here Well that, my son, it’s a long sad story, ‘bout sports and too much beer 2. I was still a young man, when I started to work here We were serving Ale and Bitter, before the days of Lager beer We had a TV in that corner, and people’d come to watch The matches and the races; others just played darts Chelsea was our favourite and on that fatal day, They were playing Arsenal, a derby as they say We were all just watching, when hooligans came in They were durnk and started fighting . . . two people got killed CHORUS #1: There was nothing I could do, I called for help but it came late Then they closed my pub and I could only wait Till the end of a trial against two friends and me We were innocent, but they just wouldn’t see CHORUS #2: There was nothing I could do, I called for help but it came late Then they closed my pub and I could only wait My dream’s to go back, to those happy days before They ruined my pub and the crowd avoided my door My dream’s to go back, to those happy days before They ruined my pub and the crowd avoided my door
