I'm snowed in and my batteries dead
flights delayed and my friends were late
then you forgot to wind your watch
don't forget to watch out when you wind me up
It just wouldn't stop
I couldn't even love, the handle stuck
I just gave up, I got left behind
I thought that you were right
searching in devise how could you spin me your love's- lies

And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
and the feelings gone but I got to
and I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
and the feelings gone but I got to
Miling hearts and my broken arm
the train blew up and I'm feeling fucked
we ran away until we reached the states
the night became a darker shade of purple gray
bush fire in my phone lines
no man's land that wasted spacin in
the lights went out and the voices shouted
(Get on the floor)
black bagged me then they dragged you screaming out the door

And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
and the feelings gone but I got to
and I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
and the feelings gone but I got to
'cause I wanna
but I got to
'cause I wanna
but I got to

Machine guns, Afghanistan, ('cause I wanna)
our micro ways and pepper sprays,('cause I got to)
a poison dart and throw your stars
strike my heart and leave me lying in the blood

'cause I wanna
but I got to
'cause I wanna
but I got to
but I got to

I agree...Dhani

I have to say, this builds to an incredible intensity, and has genius-level layering of powerful guitar jamming and propulsive drums!

Thank heavens for RP for introducing me to all the music I missed.

Oh dear... Momma Sed by Puscifer came on and the first thing I thought was: 'Wow, this sounds really really cool, it makes me think of that one song... what was its name again?' 

And then, of course that song gets actually played afterwards. Hanging On by thenewno2. I love RP so god damn much. Thanks Bill & Rebecca!

Of course, the other context is "The New Sh!t" which is fine, too.

Don't forget the final episode of The Prisoner used All You Need Is Love during a scene with a lot of shooting and death.

"Plays in last 30 days: 5". So, that's on average1 play every 6 days.

"overplayed"  = I don't like the song

Here's my best guess as to the lyrics:

I'm snowed in and my battery's dead
Flight's delayed and my friends were late
Then you forgot to wind your watch
Don't forget to watch out when you wind me up
It just wouldn't start, I couldn't even love
The handle stuck, I just gave up
I got left behind, I thought that you were right
Such a mean device how could you spin me all those lies?

And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
And the feeling's gone but I gotta
And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
And the feeling's gone but I gotta

Iron heart, and my broken arm
The train derailed, I'm feeling failed
We ran away until we reached the States
The night became a darker shade of purple gray
Bush fire in my phone lines
A no-man's land, wasted space and then
The lights went out and the voices shouted
Black bagged me then they dragged you screaming out the door

And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
And the feeling's gone but I gotta
And I'm hanging on 'cause I wanna
And the feeling's gone but I gotta

'Cause I wanna
But I gotta
'Cause I wanna
But I gotta

Machine guns. Afghanistan,
Microwaves, and pepper spray,
Poison darts, and throwing stars
Strike my heart and leave me lying in the gutter

'Cause I wanna
But I gotta
'Cause I wanna
But I gotta

So at a festival last summer, I'm watching Glen Hansard on a side stage, and after a sloppy, rainy day, in the middle of his set, the sun finally peeks out.  And Glen, who loves to chat with his audience, starts playing a couple of notes from "Here Comes the Sun" and then stops and says something like —- probably shouldn't play that, makes me a little nervous to play it in front of the writer's son, and he looks over to the adjacent stage area, where Dhani and the rest of thenewno2 are waiting for their turn to go on.  Cool moment, was kind of hoping Dhani would come out and play it with Glenn... but he didn't.

The name of this band brings to mind an old TV show called The Prisoner.
 
It's an unmistakeable reference to it. Each episode of the Prisoner started with a similar title sequence, in which there was always the exchange:

Prisoner: Who are you?
Two: The new Number Two.
Prisoner: Who is Number One?
Two: You are Number Six.
Prisoner: I am not a number; I am a free man!
with a different actor playing Number Two in each episode.
