Largs Pier Hotel

There's a big wharfy pub by the banks of the bay
Out in the west side of Adelaide
In an old smoky room where the bands used to play
I remember the sweat and the noise we made
And we jumped on the tables and crashed through the door
As you walked through the bar your feet stuck to the floor
And the boys loved the music but the girls wanted more

Another night in the Largs Pier Hotel
Who cares if our future ain't bright
With a girl on your arm, the world was a Saturday night

There Tooley and Suzie would spin 'cross the floor
They worked hard they played hard with nothing to prove
But they held our attention when they would cut loose
She's a big girl but all the right places move
And I played in the band and was part of the gang
And they all stomped their feet every time that we sang
And they broke all the windows when the closing bell rang

Another night in the Largs Pier Hotel
Who cares if our future ain't bright
With a girl on your arm, the world was a Saturday night

I remember Big Allan, he was vicious but fair
When he walked in the bar he would fill up the door
If you're looking for troubles, you'd soon find it there
Sometimes you'd get more than you'd asked for
And some nights the fighting burst out in the street
When a fool and his friends would get knocked off their feet
And we wouldn't back down 'til the last one was beat

Another night in the Largs Pier Hotel
Who cares if our future ain't bright
With a girl on your arms, the world was a Saturday night

And we'd laugh and drink 'til we fell
Then we'd get up and do it again
Lost in the City of Churches
The city of pain

When I'd come back to town and I'd drive to the bay
Reliving the days I remember so well
Well there's just a facade where the band used to play
They tore it all down to build one more motel
And the building might crumble but the memories last
To think of the wild times that ended too fast
And the old friends I lost who once covered my ass

Another night in the Largs Pier Hotel
Who cares if our future ain't bright
With a girl on your arms, the world was a Saturday night

Another night in the Largs Pier Hotel
Who cares if our future ain't bright
With a girl on your arm, the world was a Saturday night
