Strange Hands Lyrics
well she was out there shake-shake-shakin' with the beat
my back was up against the wall, the floor was nailed to the bottom of my feet.
and he was push-push-pushin' like he was selling speed
oh, he's got his hands up on her hips; i'm making faces you wouldn't believe
oh next thing it's--
strange hands, moving down your back
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna take you back
but i know that i can't
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
s-s-s-so i slide down the bar to get myself a better view
oh, and someone pushed me in the back and said, "listen boy i'm talking to you"
and so! i turn around, he says, "you know what i want you to do"
oh, and then he drug me by the collar through the crowd and then started to move
next thing it's--
strange hands, moving down my back
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna make it stop
but i know that it's dark
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
oh he was looking for more
i made my way for the door
he tried to pull me back in
i knew exactly what for
i didn't know what to do
so i just stood there shaking like a little girl
but i kept looking at her
she kept looking at him
and he was looking to me
to put it all to an end
so i got down on my knees
i just started beggin', and beggin'
and beggin', ...
strange hands, moving down your back
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna take you back
but i know that i can't
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
oh man, up and down your back
gives me a heart-attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i want to make it stop
but i know that it's dark
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
my back was up against the wall, the floor was nailed to the bottom of my feet.
and he was push-push-pushin' like he was selling speed
oh, he's got his hands up on her hips; i'm making faces you wouldn't believe
strange hands, moving down your back
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna take you back
but i know that i can't
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
oh, and someone pushed me in the back and said, "listen boy i'm talking to you"
and so! i turn around, he says, "you know what i want you to do"
oh, and then he drug me by the collar through the crowd and then started to move
strange hands, moving down my back
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna make it stop
but i know that it's dark
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
i made my way for the door
he tried to pull me back in
i knew exactly what for
i didn't know what to do
so i just stood there shaking like a little girl
she kept looking at him
and he was looking to me
to put it all to an end
so i got down on my knees
i just started beggin', and beggin'
and beggin', ...
gives me a heart attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i wanna take you back
but i know that i can't
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
gives me a heart-attack
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy
aw man, i want to make it stop
but i know that it's dark
it's gettin' heavy, heavy, heavy

i love it. i cant stay still when it comes one.
I've always thought this song was about a three-way between two guys and a girl... but when I read the lyrics over again and I saw the part about the "crowd", that theory made less sense.
sounds like a guy and a girl are at a club, and the girls dancing and some strange guy is dancing with herr and the guy likes her and is freaking out, then it switches to the girls perspectivee and she's freaking out about it as well. yeahh thats what i get from it.
actually no, this song just confuses me haha.
actually no, this song just confuses me haha.
It's a bloke who's at a club with this ex-girlfriend he still fancies (aw man, i wanna take you back but i know that i can't). She's dancing with some other bloke who's really into her. The singer is jealous and moves over to the bar so that he can see them better when a new guy starts to hit on him and he freaks out but in the Bar probably won't get noticed being in trouble and then the bloke touching him up wants more and he tries to get away.
I agree with BelvedereII - I think he's watching his ex-girlfriend dancing with a guy at a club and is really jealous, and then some other guy comes and hits on HIM. As far as I can see there's actually no real reason for it being a guy rather than a girl making him dance with him, I think it's just incidental.
i love the "but i kept looking at her she kept looking at him and he was looking to me"
this song always just screamed rape to me. i love the films
