Alex! HOw could you forget "Praying Hands" by Devo, you drunken idiot?
Also, I think there's a reggae or reggae-ish song that has a line like
"never never never use your hands" or something...

  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...!'
