Cover art for place your hands lyrics by Reef

The common one is a chav called Scott that the singer (Stringer) was very fond of when he was at school in Glastonbury. (I was in the year below). When Scott joined the army, Gary became very dispondent. The "place your hands" bit is a reference to the way a policeman ask you to place your hands on the roof of the car when he needs to search your pockets. Here, Stringer is asking Scott to place his hands on his soul, so that he can trust him.

@shed8 the common one is a reference to the Van Morrison album of the same name released in 1980.
