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

[Janean Lancaster]

Interpol - Slow Hands
Snow Patrol - Hands Open
Nick Cave - Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow (not quite the same)
 
Scraping the barrel: 
 
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (Hands & Feet Mix).  Not actually in
the lyrics of course, but it was the first thing I thought of re. hands
and feet.

~~ ..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]
