*Song of the Week

Song are you hearing:

"Hanging On For Hope" by The New Amsterdams
CD form "Worse for the Wear"


"Hanging On For Hope"

Are you hanging on for hope?
The clock strikes past the hour.
Is the pain enough to choke the life out?

You may never get to sleep
Your time is not your time tonight
Her smile will make you weak and proud

Do you ever miss her?
Do you feel the cold wind whisper?
Is there anything more deafening?

Are you hanging on for hope?
It's all you've got worth living for.
Is it much too hard to cope the road out?
There's a tension when we speak
The income's overrated
but it's worth it when we meet on common ground

Do you ever miss her?
Do you feel the cold wind whisper?
Is there anything more deafening?

Are you hanging on for hope?
It's all you've got worth living for.
Much too hard to cope when i'm gone?

Do you ever miss her?
Do you feel the cold wind whisper?
Is there anything...

Do you ever cower when the clock strikes every hour?
Is there anything more deafening?
Is there anything more deafening?

Lawrence, Kansas-based
American indie rock band

Some day, I'll be able to turn out a DB sweater. For now I'd just like to stop increasing accidentally.

PS, the plant is a kalanchoe (calANkoee, I think but don't quote me on that)
