We’re pretty sure that the vast majority of our readers have never heard of Scottish-based alt rockers Teenage Fanclub.
That’s too bad.
A defining “indie” band, the quartet boasts three incredibly talented songwriters in Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love.
Here’s Love taking the lead on “Hang On,” which is off of the band’s 1993 album Thirteen.
TEENAGE FANCLUB: “HANG ON”
Been bought and I’ve been sold
and I’ve forgot what I’ve been told
and now I need someone
Of all the stars I’ve ever seen
you’re the sun
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on
I’ve not forgotten all the tricks
that you’ve done
I just need some fun
I’m going underground to reassess
just what I’ve found
and all that I can do
Been blinded by the light
now I can go with a smile
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on
I’ve not forgotten all the tricks
that you’ve done
I just need someone
