Hang Up
Parasites Lyrics
I really didn't want to go to another show, but I got in for nothing
I saw you from across the room and I knew why I was there
After the second crappy band you grabbed my left hand and wrote your number on it
and ever since you walked away, I need psychiatric care
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I've called you up at thousand times, spent a thousand dimes,
but you don't have an answer
I wish that you'd try to decide, is it him or is it me
You're always putting me on hold, and that's kind of cold, but I can wait forever
And if it takes a million dimes, I'll get you eventually
I've been in love before, a couple other times, but you're the one that I need
And though I sometimes say things you don't want to hear,
I'll whisper in your ear until you see,
'cause
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I really didn't want to go to another show, but I had to do something
I quickly did a double take when I saw both of you there
After the second crappy band you grabbed his left hand and walked right by me, smiling
and ever since you walked away, you need psychiatric care
and though I know right now that you can't be with me,
I hope someday you see you're wrong
And though I sometimes say things you don't want to hear,
I want to make it clear, my love goes on,
'cause
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!
I've got a hang up, I can't hang up when I talk to you, woah!

Some of these older power pop bands J Church,MTX,The Stand GT,Sicko,Cub,ALL,Big Drill Car had such a awesome sense of melody really underrated it really sucks none of them ever made any money then bands like Green Day and Blink-182 who in my opinion were kind of inferior did..huh strange.

You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Guess they were not unfortunately. That's life.Still I'll have them in my heart until I die. Like so many more. Thanks.

We Remotely Low I love Weston!! Got to hang with them once!
We Remotely Low
I still really like late 90s and early 2000s typical pop punk, but there's no doubt that the underground stuff is better. Remember Weston and Digger from Penn state?
