The Pentre Hotel Lyrics

Walking home from school in the 80's

All our plans revolved around the coming weekend

Our dinner money safely hidden down our socks

So our parents wouldn't know what we'd spend

The talk was always about one place

A pub they called the Pentre Hotel

For us it was the Kingdom of Heaven

For others, their idea of Hell

There was dogshit on the dance floor

So dark you didn't know who else was there

So when you went to the bar and looked down at your shoes

You could have been in for a scare

From Z Warren Zevon to A The Alarm

Phil the DJ played the greatest hits

But don't get too close to Tex the tramp

Or you'd end up covered in nits

Cheap perfume applying

Our testosterone was flying

For us lads it was the place to be

And the wet T-shirt competition

That was well worth the admission

They came from miles around to see

At the Pentre Hotel

Was it Heaven or Hell?

The Pentre Hotel

Was it Heaven or Hell

The Pentre Hotel?

Heaven or Hell

The Pentre Hotel

The Pentre Hotel
