Lyrics for Hand in Glove

Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds No, it's not like any other love This one is different because it's us Hand in glove We can go wherever we please And everything depends upon How near you stand to me And if people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care It's not a shame, no Hand in glove The good people laugh Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds Yes, we may be hidden by rags But we've something they'll never have And if the people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care It's not a shame, no So hand in glove, I stake my claim I'll fight to the last breath If they dare touch a hair on your head I'll fight to the last breath For the good life is out there somewhere So stay on my arms, you little charmer But I know my luck too well Yes, I know my luck too well And I'll probably never see you again I'll probably never see you again I'll probably never see you again
