That Handsome Devil - Wintergreen

Band: That Handsome Devil
Album: A City Dressed in Dynamite
Song: 02 - Wintergreen

LYRICS:

Her face had a run-in with a fist
Or a steering wheel
You could hear her coming
From the click of her plastic heels

There's signs of life and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the worst to be saw
Bettin' on that someday
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

It holds you tight then it lets you go
Didn't look back, just left it alone
Grabbed my coat and my hat
Let the train take me home

Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Bettin' on that someday
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

Howlin' at me tellin' me she's sick
And she needs some help
Old woman suckin' on a dick
For a dollar bill

There's signs of life and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the worst to be saw
Bettin' on that someday
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

It's that little piece of nothin' that won't let you go
Didn't look back, just left it alone
Grabbed my coat, my hat
Let the train take me home

Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Bettin' on that someday
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

I've been livin' under bridges stayin'
Where I was only visiting
Where neighbours drink the Listerine
To keep their livers clean
And wintergreen

I've been livin' under bridges stayin'
Where I was only visiting
Where neighbours drink the Listerine
To keep their livers clean
And wintergreen

So yesterday, Spotify pushed Wintergreen on my playlist. Since then i've listened to pretty much any track of Handsome devil i could find. God damn it's good.

"believe me baby i know."

[Masseur]

cant get enough of this song, it seems so familiar but I am sure that I never heard this before. This is a sign of a good music

[thepizzaman]

I love how this song uses surf rock chords which gives it a super gnarly feel

[HTIOGranka]

This band deserves way more attention, such a unique band in these times of music. I love these kind of bands!

[logancross]

That handsome devil gives me vibes of an old homeless man giving commentary on the world

[circleviii]

Fantastic lyrics, anyone living in a city can and should understand the meaning of this song, seeing it on our streets day-in, day-out.

[flnk]

Just discovered these guys last night. Damn, they're awesome.

[lerraieyon]

The first time i heard this band was completely a random find; and their music has since become a piece of my heart.

[theboythatdraws]

As someone who is Indian but enjoy western media, I like this song even though I don't understand 80% of the lyrics.

[bagobones]

love how the singer sounds like the devil lol. that is awesome!!!

[MarauderTwilight]

I always thought it was: Standing on a subway/City up above me/ Dreaming up the words to a song

Guess it could work either way. One of my faves from THD!

[nucleardragon]

I have difficulty not speeding when listening to this song and driving. Particularly when Rob The Prez-O-Dent comes on immediately afterward.

[CSDGames]

why is this band so fucking great for some reason?!?!

[alemacabro]

esta muy bueno nunca abia escuchado algo asi

[FirewallFrontiers]

eyes have died and you're just standing

[TheArtOfKilling]

This Song is waaaay too short so I have to keep hitting the play button
THD just your ears

[TheJayLeHol]

If I could find their CDs I wouldn't feel bad about pirating them. Fucking LOVE me some THD.

[derekdoppleganger]

I love that the way he sings makes the lyrics indecipherable but creates two or three lyrics that all fit. I really hope he does it on purpose.

[lllvvvbbb]

I love freakin band. Dude, you gotta give me mp3's to these songs.I cant find them anywhere, except for elephant bones, rob the prez o dent, viva discordia, hey white boy, and squares. MUST HAVE MORE!!!

[harold]

@TheJayLeHol You can get most of their songs on iTunes, just like any recorded band pretty much. I can understand pirating it but I bought their albums just cause... they deserve it.
