Closing Time (Deacon Blue song)


"Closing Time" is the third single from the album Fellow Hoodlums by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue. It peaked at No. 42 in the UK Singles Chart.
Two of the three B-sides, "I Was Like That" and "Friends of Billy Bear", continue the style of "Fourteen Years" and "Faifley" on the "Your Swaying Arms" single, utilizing raw, Blues-influenced music and low, gruff, and rambling spoken and sung vocals from Ricky Ross. The third B-side, "Into the Good Night", is a more traditional Deacon Blue ballad.
