Rising from the ashes of venerable alt-countrypioneers Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedyhas guided his band's transformation from rootsy americanarevivalists to avant-garde guitar experimentalists and back again. Along the way, they have played darkly-themed 1970spop-inspired rock songs to sprawling rock epics. In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com. The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco's record company, the songs were distributed freely on the Internet.

Handshake Drugs Lyrics
Wilco
I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you
Saxophones started blowing me down
I was buried in sound
Taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night
Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be, exactly
What you want me to be
Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what you want me to be
Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you
Saxophones started blowin' me down
I was buried in sound
The taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Felt like a clown
They were translating poorly
I looked like someone
I used to know
And if I ever was myself,
I wasn't that night
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?
