Paw-Hope I Die Tonight-

One of the better, but overlooked groups of the grunge era, Lawrence, KS's Paw made a name for themselves with aggressive yet melodic albums like 1993's Dragline and 1995's Death to Traitors. Lackluster sales caused their label, A&M, to drop them, and it seemed like the group had dropped off the face of the earth as well. However, Paw resurfaced in 2000 with original members Mark Hennessy and Grant Fitch and new recruits Jesse Larson and Jason Magierowski. Their third album, Home Is a Strange Place, was released in mid-2000 by Koch Records.
In summer '08, they come back for a tour in USA.

If i stay too long
Would you ask me not to go?
When i squeeze to hard
Would you stop and tell me so?
I never seem to know
If i push to far, babe
It just don't make things right tonight
If just tonight, everything's all right

I hope i die tonight
Everything's too perfect now
My breath away
Goin' in one direction-- you
Hope i die tonight

A bitter fruit to swallow
Are you afraid to take it whole?
A simple truth to follow
A simple truth we'll never know
The simple things we just let go
I bite my tongue to speak now
Afraid that this will go too fast
These perfect moments never last

And if i die tonight
That would be all right with me
My breath away
Goin' in one direction-- you
Hope i die tonight
Everything is easy here
Hope i die tonight
Better that than without you
Hope i die tonight

Why is my heart always angry
My heart is always filled with rain
Your kisses seem to warm the rain

Don't believe in morning
Never see it anyway
There is no tomorrow
And there never was today
Let's burn tonight, not fade away

I hope i die tonight
Everything's too perfect
Now my breath away
Goin' in one direction-- you
Hope i die tonight
Everything is easy here
I hope i die tonight
Better that than without you
I hope i die tonight yeah
Everything's too perfect now

Never fade away, no

Dude Paw is still around, I know Grant Finch. They Just don't play huge shows because they all have day jobs.

Slight correction. Jesse Larson had absolutely nothing to do with any Paw album. Peter Fitch played on all of the Paw records. Jason...who is a great bass player and a friend of mine, only played on a short instrumental piece of the 3rd album.

@powerinknowing It is Mark Hennessy.

@aprillovescookies123 seriously, popular stuff was way cooler back in those days, the 90s with grunge and nu metal and good stuff

[Drinman1989]

Greatest band ever!

Paw are awesome. One of the few original bands on the tale end of the Grunge scene. They are hugely respected in the music industry for doing their own thing. They missed the boat with the sound. No detriment to them. They play what they want, make amazing songs and continue to inspire. The industry decides what goes on and what gets held back. With Paw, the scene was changing. They were a band out of time. I remember when they first released Dragline to critical acclaim. They still are awesome
