Two Handed Handshake Songtext
von The Hold Steady

Oh, darling
Says he′s so damn glad to meet you
His one silver earring
Says he parties on weekends

He churns through the channels when he's watching some TV
He recites lines from movies when he′s trying to be funny
And guys, it's like we're not even trying

Yeah, she dances with that one guy
But she must know we′re watching
It seems like less, way less people, than were here just last weekend

She′s still pretty pissed about that beer spilling bitch
There were stares, there were glares, there were names
Girls, you know you're not really helping

And I don′t think that you'll find love
In some bathroom at some club
And I left ones who didn′t come back


Now we had First Ave on Fridays
We're pirates at port
We go in and 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

Oh, guys, it′s like we′re not even trying

In some desperate pageant
We fall asleep in our makeup, and we woke up in a blemish
Just making up my mind about the drinks after work
It's such a gossipy office

Girls, you know you′re gonna find someone
You know you're gonna find someone
You cannot trust your next one
You ain′t gonna find someone
You cannot trust your next one
You gotta try a little harder
We gotta do a little better
You gotta try a little harder

You gotta try a little harder
We gotta do a little better
You gotta try a little harder


Guys, I'm pretty sure that we can all put all together
And girls, you gotta learn to be nice to one another
And guys, don′t you think that we can put all together
And girls, can't you learn to be nice to one another, oh

And I don't think that we will find love
In some bathroom at the club
And I′ve had some ones who didn′t come back
Oh, put the flowers in the bag

And I don't think that we will find love
In these bathrooms at the club
And I′ve left ones who don't come back, hmm
Now their just some fingers that we cross
