Ricky's Hand Lyrics

Scratched his head, then pulled his ear
Reached out for a glass of beer
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

From the pocket it pulled five pound
Ricky bought another round
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

In the dark it found his zip
Wiped his mouth when he was sick
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Six pints later he waved good bye
Picked his nose and squashed a fly
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Slamming the door it grasped the wheel
Now Ricky's full of man appeal
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Ricky contravened the highway code
The hand lies severed at the side of the road
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A guy went to a bar, got smashed, drove drunk, and lost his hand (and possibly his life) in a car accident

I love this song. I first learned about it when I downloaded an live cover version by Ministry.

The meaning is in the lyrics. Ricky gets drunk. Ricky drives. Ricky loses his hand.
