Hello lovelies,
Here is a brand new song. Seriously. Wrote the last line 4 mins ago…
The Old Double Zero (Lyrics by Joe Nolan)
The Old Double Zero is a shady little bar
A waitress with a smile and a crying steel guitar
Misery loves company, but she don’t look for long
She made a brand new friend on the day I wrote this song
I’m the hero of The Old Double Zero
The place where the band only knows one song to play
I’m the Nero of the place where the tears go
The Emperor of Empty, baby, since you gone away
Broken glass in the window, broken glass behind the bar
Bet your ass you can go, but you won’t get very far
Yesterday’s got long arms. Yesterday’s got legs
Yesterday goes stealing where tomorrow stoops to beg
I’m the hero of The Old Double Zero
The place where the band only knows one song to play
I’m the Nero of the place where the tears go
The Emperor of Empty, baby, since you gone away
Nothin’ sadder than the sunshine come a-creepin’ ‘neath the shade
You find you got it bad when you thought you had it made
Nothin’ lonely as your shadow as it rises from the night
Searchin’ for salvation, but blinded by the light
I’m the hero of The Old Double Zero
The place where the band only knows one song to play
I’m the Nero of the place where the tears go
The Emperor of Empty, baby, since you gone away
