The Wrong Hands Lyrics
I still wear these worn out jeans
I have to wear long-johns underneath
Down by the harbour there's a cool, cool breeze
I've never wondered if oceans can freeze
The strings on my fathers old guitar
The positions of the northern stars
The clock-like beat of the budgies heart
Tick, tick, tick now they know where you are
I tried the light therapy
From a Xerox-machine
The gentle beat of a tambourine
And it's not that I can't stand
To see you with another man
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
Behind the craze there's a pretty sunset
The water shines like tiny bells
I feel the warmth in a cigarette
But everything else
And it's not that I can't stand
To see you with another man
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
I tried the light therapy
From the Xerox-machine
The gentle beat of a tambourine
And it's not that I can't stand
To see you ruin our plans
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
Fall into the wrong hands
I have to wear long-johns underneath
Down by the harbour there's a cool, cool breeze
I've never wondered if oceans can freeze
The positions of the northern stars
The clock-like beat of the budgies heart
Tick, tick, tick now they know where you are
From a Xerox-machine
The gentle beat of a tambourine
To see you with another man
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
The water shines like tiny bells
I feel the warmth in a cigarette
But everything else
To see you with another man
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
From the Xerox-machine
The gentle beat of a tambourine
To see you ruin our plans
I just don't want to see good love
Fall into the wrong hands
Fall into the wrong hands

I guess this song is overlooked...beacuse it is very good
so i was in my car listening to a mixed cd i made and somehow this song came on it and i fell in love ! i know most of jen's things but i don't remember this song...as for the meaning he pretty much spells it out.
This song is a hidden gem on Oh You're So Silent, and quite possibly one of his best tunes. He's just addictive, in the most trite-yet-adorable way possible.
"And it's not that I can't stand To see you with another man I just don't want to see good love Fall into the wrong hands"
What a strong verse. Pretty much explains the rest of the song
