  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...!'
