Idle Hands
The Gutter Twins Lyrics
With my idle hands there's nothing I can't do
But be the Devil?s plaything baby and know that I've been used
Your lips are cold, they suffer me
They drag me under baby into your suffering
Let your hands do what they will do
Stand inside, make your maker?s move
And your eyes don't look the same
They seem enervated, in denial
Cast like stones like you been rode for miles
Rode for miles
My eyes have seen, they have been shown
This is an occupation to stand alone
I suffer you, you suffer me
We are the Devil?s plaything into this reckoning
Let your hands do what they will do
Stand inside, make your maker?s move
And your eyes don't look the same
They seem enervated, in denial
Cast like stones like you been rode for miles
Rode for miles

Greg Dulli clearly bought out the best in Mark Lanegan - their vocals compliment each other so well. Thank goodness so much of it is documented forever. x

i love this vid. it fits the lyrics perfectly (...we are the devil's plaything... let your hands do what they will do...) - it's a great contrast between pseudo-innocent fun and deep, deep lyrics and sound. great. and it reminds me of my own childhood (even though i never managed explosions that big...)
Chris Collins
Freaking killer tune. watch the one on Dave Letterma with the great Greg Dulli. Rip!
Keith Preston
