Hanging On The Line
Hanging On The Line Track number: 7 Year: 2012 Album: Patriot Missiles Genre: Alternative
This song was written to have a double meaning. At the time of writing it I was having problems with a company call center and was being pushed by my brother to write about something more "commercial" (i.e. a love song) so I decided to make I song that is both a love song but is also actually a sly complaint about the call center. Composed by Paul Willox Produced by Paul Willox All parts (except drums) performed by Paul Willox
