Working in a soup line - you'll come to find your way out at the right time. What you're really all about is just more deadlines - when you're living on the edge and you're the only one who's never sold your soul!

Artist picture
Singer, songwriter, punk rock girl. Ruler of all I survey.
Touring up to 75,000 miles per year, Simone performs an average of 270 shows annually (2007-2016). Independently financed and self-managed, Simone has achieved more than most indie-bands would hope for. National media attention, endorsements from international organizations and regular airplay are just of the few accomplishments this young artist has experienced. 'Strong riffs, hooks and melodies make Simone a highly-listenable band' (Miramar Management), but it is the energy of the live performances that Simone is best known. Sharing the stage with bands such as LA Guns, Bullet Boys, Dishwalla, JR Richards, The Sammus Theory, At Cliffs End, Stranded and many others, Simone exceeds expectations. Known for their live performances -- "[Simone's] got the look, got the voice, got the songs" (Steve Gilmore, Rebel Riffs), Simone tours throughout the US and Europe. Their music has charted on GarageBand, StereoFame, OurStage, NoiseHead and Imeem, and their independent release "Temporary Heaven" was awarded the E.A.R. (Excellence In Audio Recording) award in 2007.

Story behind the song
Just randomly thinking about our lives, the decisions we make and the outcomes to those decisions. Hindsight's always 20/20 but if we stay on target, things will generally work out the way they're supposed to. Bryan wrote this track after dissecting a bunch of Paul McCartney tunes. Since Bryan writes entirely on piano, many of these tracks come from a 'piano player' perspective. Interesting chord changes, passing tones, etc. Listen to If Only I and All My Mistakes and imagine playing them entirely on a piano and you'll understand.
Lyrics
Living on a fine line but we never really care about our up-time When the clock is running out on all our good times, though the people stop and stare when they're looking at the way I rock and roll Working in a soup-line, you'll come to find your way out at the right time What you're really all about is just more dead-lines, when you're living on the edge and you're the only one who's never sold your soul. If you had three wishes, what would you do? Now you have two wishes, that much is true. If I had just one wish, you know what I'd say? I'd wish for three more wishes, everyday! Praying for a sure sign, all the while your're sleeping on a gold mine When you're ripe and gettin heavy on the grapevine, when the day is running out and you're the only one who'll reach your goal. Waiting for the sun shine, to reach the open waters with your lifeline, The only friend you ever had was on a hotline, cuz you were living on the edge and that's the only life you'll ever know! If you had three wishes, what would you do? Now you have two wishes, that much is true. If I had just one wish, you know what I'd say? I'd wish for three more wishes, everyday!
