Lyrics

Gothenburg Handshake (Demo)

Introductions can be so tough, I know

And customs are strange everywhere that you go

I didn't understand, I didn't understand

You shook much more than my hand

My mistake, Gothenburg handshake

It doesn't mean I wasn't pleased to know you

But the things you felt I didn't want to show you

I didn't understand, I didn't understand

You shook much more than my hand

My mistake, Gothenburg handshake

Gothenburg handshake
