[kj] Sehr OT - Lyrics referring to "hands",

[sade1]

  ~~ ..all responses on 'hands' and 'feet' are appreciated...~~
   
     I was really impressed at how hands were referred to in "Seconds*" and 
  "The Cutter**"and was eager to find other songs were hands were creatively 
  referred to. 
   
     There's also a thread about lyrics about feet, too but that one has even less 
  of a leg to stand on. :~P
   
  * your knuckles white as your fingers curl...

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

    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...!'
