Lyrics

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 the people stare
Then, the people stare
I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss my shades...

Hand in glove
The Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we have something they'll never have

Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we have something they'll never have

And if the people stare
Then, the people stare
I really don't know and I really don't care

Kiss my shades...

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 arm, 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

"Hand in Glove" is the debut single by English rock band the Smiths, written by singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. It was released in May 1983 on independent record label Rough Trade. It peaked at No. 3 on the UK Indie Chart but did not make the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart, settling outside at No. 124. A remixed version of the song was featured on the band's debut album, The Smiths, in 1984. That same year, a cover version recorded by singer Sandie Shaw featuring Smiths members Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce as backing musicians reached No. 27 on the UK Singles Chart. The Smiths' original single mix was included on the compilation albums Hatful Of Hollow, also released in 1984, and Louder Than Bombs, released in 1987.
