Little Hands Lyrics


Some sweet perversion on the telephone line
I've been waiting for such a very long time
For her to be freeThe evening was nice but there were too many people
And all my thoughts, so depraved and evil
Oh Lord, what would she say?She says, "Well, I'm afraid, it's not to be
You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me
I live my life in a different way
You know those things you're thinking are a big mistake"We stayed out late 'til morning came
I said, "I'll take you home if it's all the same"
Her indifference fills the roomSome weak seduction on the morning after
How it slays me every time I touch her
But she just wants to sleepShe says, "How long 'til you understand
The last thing that I need is another man
Didn't you promise to give it a rest?
Right now I need a lover like a hole, like a hole in the chest"Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin'
And I'm smiling even though I'm dying
To know the love she says will never beOne last conversation at the crowded bar
And even though the music is louder by far

I hear every word she saysShe says, "Don't take it bad, don't worry about it
You're friend of mine and there's no way around it
Sometimes you get there early, sometimes you get there late
But even if you had a chance you never, never knew the game"Little hands, open smile, I'm glad we got to talk for a while
I feel okay, yeah I'm feeling better, I'll let it go but I'll never say never
It's okay, yeah it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Duncan Scott Sheik (born November 18, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, Sheik's upbringing was split between his parents' home in South Carolina and that of his grandparents in New Jersey. His grandmother, a piano graduate of The Juilliard School, taught him to play the piano and encouraged his musical development. He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1988, after which he studied semiotics at Brown University.

Sheik began his professional musical career playing for other acts, including Liz And Liza (with Lisa Loeb and Liz Mitchell), and played on His Boy Elroy's 1993 album. Through connections from fellow Brown alum Tracee Ellis Ross, Sheik's music gained the attention of executives at Atlantic Records. Duncan Sheik's eponymous debut album for Atlantic spawned the 1996 hit single "Barely Breathing" in the US, which remained on the charts for 55 straight weeks. In 1998, he was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Barely Breathing."

In addition to his work as a solo artist, he collaborates with the poet and writer Steven Sater. Together, they have written an album of art-pop songs, ''Phantom Moon'', a Broadway musical, ''Spring Awakening'', and the score for the film ''A Home at the End of the World''. They are currently working on a new musical based on the story of "The Emperior and the Nightingale", which will have its workshop premiere in 2007 at the La Jolla Playhouse.

As of 2009, Whisper House is the sixth studio album recorded by Duncan Sheik, released in the United States on January. The album is Sheik's first for the RCA Victor label, as well as his first in the wake of success from composing music for the Tony award-winning musical Spring Awakening.
