Life Of course, one of the wisest pop songs ever recorded was Hold On by Wilson Phillips, or so I thought on the bus this morning when I looked up at the sky and noticed it was the same colour as the pavement and I heard it playing on the driver's radio:
"Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day."
Not quite poetry, but just what I needed, thanks.

The problem with that song is that there are far too many using the expression 'hold on' in their lyrics or, like the one you quote, as the song title too. It therefore devalues any merit the expression may have.

I remember hearing the opening words to Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis for the first time and imemdiately despising it. I still do.
