Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 20

Today is Quizday, the 2nd of August, 2018...
The Ant-Man ate the Wasp-Woman... And this is not even a spoiler...



"Went Looking For Warren Zevon's Bromford"

The city is a sea of lights
From Venice Beach to Hollywood & Vine
Drinking whiskey in my winter coat
An Empty Hearted Town sure gets cold

Dan Tana's by the Troubadour
Harry Dean singing "Oh Danny Boy"
After hours at the Overpass
Hour after hour at the Overpass

I went looking for Warren Zevon's Bromford
I got turned around on Gower Avenue

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

We took some pictures in a photo booth
Gotta give her credit where the credit is due
The pretty girls and the crowded streets
Like Desperados waiting Under The Eaves

Fell in love but the love ran out
At Lucy's El Adobe by the Paramount
Margaritas under black palm trees
I've got time, no one is waiting for me

I went looking for Warren Zevon's Bromford
I got turned around on Gower Avenue

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along
Gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

It's my own damn fault just how hard I fell
Never found the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
I'm going back to Memphis with a picture and a song
So long, so long
I'm gonna find a jukebox everyone can sing along

So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
