Handshake Tramp Lyrics

Do i let you down to get that sound
And break my knees to get release.
And you needed some just to take you from
And i hit you more, is your face still sore?

But i tried, it was never mine
I just pretend and guess it all depends
Still a little crazy all the time
But i can try to hide it back sometimes.

Try a little more, a little more, a little more.
Slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore.

All the cheap perfume, i hate this room.
So testify, but i still tried.
And you need that step little handshaketramp,
And you hit me more and my face still sorry.

But i tried, it was never mine.
I just pretend and guess it all depends,
Still a little crazy all the time,
But i can try to hide it back sometimes.

Try a little more, a little more, a little more.
Slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore.

Upside down and around and around.
Just another piece till you need another sound.

I know what you scream about! Dont let me down
And the guilt in me, is the hurt in you
And the hurt in you,is lost in me
And the lost in me,is the need in you
and the need in you, is the guilt in me.

Try a little more, a little more, a little more.
Slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore.

Upside down and around and around.
Just another piece till you need another sound.

Try a little more, a little more, a little more.
Slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore.

Upside down and around and around.
Just another piece till you need another sound.

I saw these guys last night opening for Default, and this song was so catchy. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but it's fun.

I think this song's about a female manager or like.. a record label owner or something and she's not very successful. I think she puts him under pressure to crank out new songs. This industries about having connections and networking.. so he refers to her as a handshake tramp like always meeting with people and literally shaking their hands. I said she's probably not very succesful cause he smells cheap perfume, and he probably hates that room cause that's where he always meets with her to hand over his songs or something. She always tells him to try a little more and to work harder and she just uses him to get a new sound. It seems like she guilts him into helping her out and he only does it cause he pities her, cause when she feels hurt, it's lost in him so he doesn't sympathise with her and her "need" for his talent causes guilt in him. Welllll that's the only thing I can connect to these lyrics, but I don't think it's right cause a lot of the lyrics don't fit with this idea.. so i hope other people post some up!

Josh said in an interview that he wrote this because he was feeling like a whore, because he was selling out to the music industry, and 'bitch' used as slave.
