	Story Behind the Song Written during one session over the course of about eight hours, The Rose and Crown represents an amalgamation of about three different bars and a number of events that happened to me or that I witnessed. The characters are all true to life, especially the "Girl on the dance floor"..... Lyrics The Rose and Crown (Lyrics and music by David Archer) Everyone's welcome, everyone's here So why not come in out of the rain? There's a place at the bar And a shot of Gold Star And soon you'll be feeling no pain The place that you're coming from Don't count for much In here every story's been changed Innocent laughter with a cynical touch We're just all refugee's from the game Down at The Rose and Crown Where your glass is never empty Down at The Rose and Crown I haven't seen you there lately Well the Pirate is calling out "Lets have one more round" While the Preacher just whispers and grins And the Ghost in the Mirror, Caught in the act Turns and blesses us all for our sins Music and madness, magic and verse There's no better place to be And you know, things could be worse If you've had one too many Well lets not forget That we all look after our friends here Down at The Rose and Crown... Well she was already there And she was already gone And I was already living a dream It lasted forever but it didn't take long Well anyway, that's how it seems Motion and poetry,shadow and light She lit up the room And she turned back the night And then I was alone, alone with my friends And I'll never forget how I loved her Down at The Rose and Crown.... Well the boys in the band Are drinking whiskey and beer And it's too loud to talk And it's too loud to hear Another song is over With a crash and a cheer And everything's just as it should be Down at The Rose and Crown.... Well the Pirate and the Preacher Are arguing politics While the rest of the boys Watch the game And there's a girl on the dancefloor And I used to know her But I can't remember her name Lost in her movement My stories all lies I see your reflection In everyones eyes And if I drown my sorrows Don't be surprised Maybe someday I'll see you Down at The Rose and Crown Where your glass is never empty Down at The Rose and Crown I haven't seen you there lately I haven't seen you there lately
