“Steady and Slow” is an unreleased That Handsome Devil song.
The song follows the story of a girl who gives up on going any further in life and, sadly, ends up taking her own.
[Verse 1]
There's a dance on Friday
But she's not gonna go
She spent all Thursday
Writing a note
[Pre-Chorus]
Sh-sh-sh-shaving her hair off
Now that's rock 'n' roll, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Never graduated
Never went to the prom
Never won no ball games
Never bothered anyone
Ch-ch-ch-cheerleading captain
F-f-f-football star
Now who's laughing?
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
[Verse 2]
There's a test on Friday
On some stuff she don't know
Got herself some tattoos
And a ring in the nose
[Pre-Chorus]
A-ha-ha-holding a handgun
Ow, that's so rock 'n' roll, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Never won no ribbons
Never got good grades
Never cared much for it
Never bothered, anyway
Hey, man, what's happening?
Well, I remember who you are
Now who's laughing?
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
[Break]
[Verse 3]
Outside on Friday
In her dad's army coat
B-b-b-breathing the air in
Steady and slow
B-b-b-blowing her head out
Blow! That's so rock 'n' roll, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Never graduated
Never went to the prom
Never won no ball games
Never bothered anyone
Ch-ch-ch-cheerleading captain
F-f-f-football star
Now who's laughing?
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
