Metric - Handshakes Lyrics






Say you wanna get in
And then you wanna get out
When you get the money
To buy yourself a castle
How will you wear your leisure
Zipper back and front
On the fence together
Weekends in leather

Flip to the right
Slip back to the left
For handshakes at the ranch
Small talk at the crossroads
Rubbing up to the ladder
Sucking on every rung
Coming up forever and hanging on

That's entertainment
When the cameras roll
Can you face the pavement
For a happy dog and pony show
Everybody loves you baby
Of course they do
Do you miss me
I miss you

Buy this car to drive to work
Drive to work to pay for this car

    God, this brings back good memories.

    T.... C....

    Tim Churchill the nostalgia is real

    Yeah, no

  8. O.... ....

    tdu1 had terrible AI, but the driving wasn't too bad. When there were no AI cars that is.

    This song was very goofy for me.

  9. J.... C....

    Test Drive Unlimited - THE BEST GAME EVER

    J.... C....

    Julio Cesar I like it more than need for speed payback. So it really holds up well!

  10. L.... R....

    test drive unlimited

  11. A.... V....

    I'm getting a serious B-52s vibe from this song, specifically 1:46 to 2:46. Love it.

  12. R.... B....

    Say you wanna get in
    And then you wanna get out
    When you get the money
    To buy yourself a castle
    How will you wear your leisure
    Zipper back and front
    On the fence together
    Weekends in leather

    Flip to the right
    Slip back to the left
    For handshakes at the ranch
    Small talk at the crossroads
    Rubbing up to the ladder
    Sucking on every rung
    Coming up forever and hanging on

    That's entertainment
    Cameras roll
    Can you face the pavement
    For a happy dog and pony show
    Everybody loves you baby
    Do you miss me
    I miss you

    Buy this car to drive to work
    Drive to work to pay for this car

  13. T.... M....

    sounds a little like The B-52's

  14. O.... E....

    Played it

  15. S.... 1....

    Ooh-ooh-ooh

  16. C.... ....

    Ahoy brought me here. And lo and behold, it's a pretty cool song, for the most part. The "ooh-ooh-ooh" passage does grate on me, though.

    C.... ....

    Ahoy is brilliant if we're talking about the same dude. I think it's supposed to, it's meant to be an allegory right?

    C.... ....

    @Sindingbat song is pretty explicitly about the capitalist hamster wheel we live in currently yeah.

  17. M.... ....

    Got this CD for Christmas when I was 12! That's 12 years ago now.. holy

  18. 3.... ....

    1:10 "...for a happy dog and pony show..." Genius.

  19. l.... n....

    Why has this been taken down of Spotify?

    l.... n....

    because it tells the truth about the treadmill of life and fruitless consumerism.....maybe :D (or some publishing rights issue)

  20. L.... B....

    Buy this car to drive to work. Drive to work to pay for this car.

  21. k.... ....

    Test drive is a good game but it gets boring after awhile I wish you could do more

    k.... ....

    It's funny how the most open games that let you do anything, are the ones that get boring (not being funny).
    I enjoy games like TDU as a place to just chill, rather than a game to clock/finish.

    k.... ....

    Never got bored of it. Played it when it came out, still playing it now. Must have thousands of hours on it!

    k.... ....

    still playing it, and I think I will be playing it for a long time. As Chris Said this kind of game it's just to chill and explore

    k.... ....

    Space invaders is the best game. The original cabinet version from 1979.

  22. S.... ....

    TDU IS BAE

    S.... ....

    Same.
    It sums up what you're gonna buy after renting a car.

    S.... ....

    Played it for the first time this year. Holds up VERY well! Beat the game in one weekend.

  23. t.... ....

    its funny they used this song on a fucking racing video game!

  24. D.... F....

    TDU  *-*/

  25. b.... ....

    Best. Song. Ever.

    b.... ....

    +Glitterfunk nah

  26. A.... ....

    Last time I heard this song was about 7 six years ago! TDU :)

    A.... ....

    WampaStomper "7 six years"?

  27. W.... ....

    Test Drive Unlimited!!!
