Handshake (Live at Brixton Academy) Lyrics by Two Door Cinema Club

Beacon (Deluxe Version)

2012

[Intro]
We have been very busy over the past couple of months
We've been writing a lot of new songs, and uh...
We're going... uh... over to America next month
To re- start recording that record
And hopefully have that out later this year
So tonight we thought we'd play you some, uh...
Songs that are gonna be on there
So this is the first one, it's called "Handshake"
[Verse 1]
What became of love in man?
And what became of you?
Familiar as you shook my hand
What was it you meant to do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Because all can change for one
And all can change in this new day
[Chorus]
She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, so you see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you stay this man
She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, so you I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you stay this man
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I lied, this was not for my pride
I know this was my time
[Chorus]
She said the devil will want you back
And you'll never find love in an open hand
Shut your eyes, so you see I'm there
And know you'll always have this if you stay this man
So when nobody will take you back
And you never found love in an open hand
Shut your eyes and you'll see I'm there
You know you'll always have this if you stay this man
[Outro]
Cheers, thank you very much!
Alright, we're gonna take you back the other way now
We're gonna go back to the old stuff
