Shine On You Crazy Bar-Steward
(Lyrics: S.Doonican)

Remember when it was fun, we were Bar-Steward Sons… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
But your sudden goodbye tore a hole in the sky… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
You were caught in the cross fire of knit-wear and good times - And it brought you right down to your knees
I thought you were kidding… you had to be joking… Now don’t be a stranger, you long-lost half-brother of mine!

And then you didn’t want to hang around on the dark side of town… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
Brave face every night, but exposed in stage lights… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
Well you hung up your tank-top with random precision - Be careful you don’t want to freeze
You washed off the greasepaint, you made your decision, and turned off the showman, just as it was our turn to shine!

Nobody knows where you are... how near or how far… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
It doesn’t feel like it should – Two out of three ain’t as good… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph and exhale that icy cold breeze
No-one’s a winner… we all end as losers - Last orders are here, take your glass to the bar ‘cause it’s time
