"Two Handed Handshake" lyrics
"Two Handed Handshake"
His two handed handshake says he's so glad to meet you
His one silver earring says he parties on weekends
He turns through the channels when he's watching the TV
He recites lines from movies when he's trying to be funny
Guys, it's like we're not even trying
She danced with that one guy, she must know we're watching
It seems like less people than were here just last weekend
She's still pretty pissed about her ex's new trick
There were stares and glares and names
Girls, you know you're not really helping
I don't think that you'll find love
In some bathroom at some club
I know some kids who didn't come back
We had First Ave on Fridays, we're pirates at port
We go in and we get high two at a time, we get drunk on the sports
We're falling into bed with our television sets
We're watching movies that we've already seen
Guys, it's like we're not even trying
You dress like contestants at some desperate pageant
You fall asleep in your makeup, you wake up with a blemish
You're making up your mind about the drinks after work
It's such a gossipy office
Girls, you're gonna find someone
You don't have to rush it
You're too young to force your crushes
You don't have to rush it
You're too young to fake your crushes
Guys, I'm pretty sure that we can put it back together
And girls, you gotta try to be nice to one another
Guys, I'm pretty sure that we can put it back together
And girls, you gotta try to be nice to one another
I don't think we'll get the truth
From kids with stickers on their boots
I know some kids who didn't come back
From the plywood painted black
We gotta try a little harder
We gotta be a little better
We gotta pull it back together

Wolf Parade - "Fine Young Cannibals" In this house
There's no order
There's no loss of love out here
If it's over
And though I call out to you
something is haunting these four walls
Baby, you know it's true
I will...
The Replacements - "I'll Be You" If it's a temporary lull
why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Man I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull
Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
If I was from Canada
then I'd best be called lonesome
And...
Old 97's - "Barrier Reef" The Empty Bottle was half-empty
Tide was low and I was thirsty
Saw her sittin' at the bar
You know how some girls are
Always making eyes
Well, she wasn't making eyes
So I sidled up beside her...
Dave Hause - "Weathervane" It's the fire jumping over the 405
It's the synagogue where no one made it out alive
It's a paranoid high in a head like a hive
It's a poke in the eye
It's the bruise on your thigh
It's a whole life...
