Hand-me-downs Lyrics


I know we're in September
And this is my house, and this is my town
But my clothes are in the case
And I am leaving
Don't tell me what you spent it on
You always lie, you always lie
And it's a decision
I am leaving
We used to say for fun
Let's say you lived and then you did
You were the leader of us all
The perfect fall
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it's a decision
I am leaving
The powder's in the kitchen
The spoon is on the floor

Your sister says it's different now
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So now I'm in this hotel room
I'm free and droning on
But the music's way too loud
I wanna skip to the next song
The glass is on the counter
The sheets are on the floor
Your sister says it's not the same
I don't believe her anymore
And I don't want your hand me downs
They're old, they're all worn out
No, I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs
So you lie yourself to sleep tonight
But you won't think of me
'Cause your world revolves around you
Or so it seems, or so it seems
And you can't get off and I can't get on
Yourself is all you see
So I don't wanna hang around
I don't want your hand me downs anymore
You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
So I am leaving

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Billy Squier (born May 12, 1950, in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts) is a rock musician. Squier had a string of arena rock and power ballad hits in the 1980s. He is probably best known for the song "The Stroke" on his 1981 album release Don't Say No, which has been certified as Triple-Platinum by the RIAA. Other hits include "Lonely Is The Night", "Everybody Wants You", "Rock Me Tonite" and "In The Dark". Squier left the music industry in the mid-1990s, due in part to issues with his label. He has been active in the 2000s, touring both as a single artist and as a member of the 'Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band'. Before fronting the band titled in his name, Squire was the frontman of the power pop group Piper.
