Closing Time is the third single from the album Fellow Hoodlums by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.

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.
