It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'

I actually wrote the song first as well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday. That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor.
