The Nerves - Hanging On The Telephone
Original Release 1976
From The Nerves EP
The Nerves were a mid-'70s power pop trio based in Los Angeles, California, featuring guitarist Jack Lee, bassist Peter Case, and drummer Paul Collins. All three members composed songs and sang. They managed a national tour, including a few dates with The Ramones, but they lasted just a short time and self-released only one self-titled four-song EP in 1976, featuring the songs "Hanging on the Telephone" (Lee), "When You Find Out" (Case), "Give Me Some Time" (Lee), and "Working Too Hard" (Collins). The EP was distributed by independent Bomp! Records.
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone (2x)
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again (3x)
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone (2x)
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself (3x)
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me (3x)
Whoah oh oh oh run to me

love this song! so hard to listen to it though with the skips and little lags. was this a vinyl rip you made, cd rip, mp3 you found, etc?
-
haha i thought it was just me

@TheLostcarlos Trashed Pleaseeeeee! , it was a failed song that never did anything. She recognized its potential and contacted them about re-cutting it. they were rapped for her to do it and they made some money from it. I like both versions.
