Seventeen Hands Lyrics
Call out the soft sound
The four letter word that you found
Call it out
Call out the soft sound
And make it round
Everyone together
Hell for leather over good ground
All caught up and love struck
All caught up in love struck hands, struck hands
You’re all caught up and love struck
Never seem to get enough
And everything you wanted
Gonna get it go aesthetic go
Hold out your left one
The number three finger from your thumb
And put it on, put it on the left one
And lay it down one upon the other
As a measure of the way it stands
All caught up and love struck
All caught up in love struck hands, struck hands
You’re all caught up and mud stuck
Money made on good luck
And everything you wanted
Gonna get it go aesthetic go
So call out you’re all fired up
You’re all fired up
Call it out
Call out you’re all fired up
You’re all fired up
Call it out
Call out if you’re love struck
All caught up with love struck hands around
Call out, you found it out
Cos you always would set it up
Only to let up
Hey, hey those are silver hairs
On your father’s chin
And on your mother’s head
Hey, hey those are still laughter lines
On your father’s brow
And round your mother’s eyes.
The four letter word that you found
Call it out
Call out the soft sound
And make it round
Everyone together
Hell for leather over good ground
All caught up in love struck hands, struck hands
You’re all caught up and love struck
Never seem to get enough
And everything you wanted
Gonna get it go aesthetic go
The number three finger from your thumb
And put it on, put it on the left one
And lay it down one upon the other
As a measure of the way it stands
All caught up in love struck hands, struck hands
You’re all caught up and mud stuck
Money made on good luck
And everything you wanted
Gonna get it go aesthetic go
You’re all fired up
Call it out
Call out you’re all fired up
You’re all fired up
Call it out
All caught up with love struck hands around
Call out, you found it out
Only to let up
On your father’s chin
And on your mother’s head
On your father’s brow
And round your mother’s eyes.

I read somewhere that this song was written about his great-grandfather, who placed a bet on a horse. It won and his great-grandfather was able to afford to marry his great-grandmother. Whether this is true or not I don't know, but it seems to fit the lyrics nicely, with regard to hands being a measure of height in horses and the line 'money made on good luck'. This is one of my all time favourite songs, I think the lyrics are beautiful and tell a wonderful little story of two people's love for each other.
