SOUNDGARDEN - Hands all over



Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers



SOUNDGARDEN - Hand of God (Has got a ring about the
size of Texas)



FRANK ZAPPA - Disco Boy (So thank the lord that
you’ve still got hands)

Any lyrics off the top of your heads [that you've heard - no Googling]
that directly

or indirectly refer to hands or something (only) hands can do?

I can mostly only think of 80s songs that do (and Seconds and The Cutter
allude

very well to hands, IMHO) but i don't think it was some trend then.



Nothing to struggle over, just whatever comes to mind. thanks.



Seconds* - Human League

The Cutter** - Echo and the Bunnymen

Lay your Hands - Thompson Twins

Guns of Brixton - The Clash

Blue Monday - New Order

Drowning Man - u2

Blaze of Glory - The Alarm

Won't you Hold my Hand - King



Sam's Town - The Killers

All these things I've done - The Killers

Blood on your Hands -- Killing Joke

Club Foot - Kasabian

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah -- ???





* your knuckles white as your fingers curl...

** watch the fingers close / when the hands are cold...



2 of the better allusions to hands, IMO



[btw, somewhere on this email there's a bilingual pun... i just caught it]



... ... ... ... ... ...
(looking at the current state of things)


'Save me..

save from Tomorrow..
I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...!'
