Pop, Iggy - Red Right Hand Lyrics






Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand
A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing
That you can do
He's a God, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand
Red right hand

You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand
Red right hand
Red right hand
Red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He ain't what he seems
Because, you'll see him in your head
On the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off

He's a ghost, he's a God
He's a man, he's a guru

He's a ghost, he's a God
He's a man, he's a guru

You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his
Red right hand
Red right hand
Red right hand
Red right hand

Pop, Iggy Red Right Hand Comments
  1. I.... J....

    By order of iggy fucking pop

  2. o.... ....

    Iggy has (had?) the voice and delivery to put this over but this monotone rendering doesn't quite do justice to the great Nick Cave song. Of course, 'you had to be there' to know for sure...

    o.... ....

    Nick Cave is very fortunate to have Iggy cover one of his songs. Christ did you hear Nicks last album? A wallowing bucket of sickly sour sweet sorrow synthesizer muck. There were no Bad Seeds on that record.

  3. M.... S....

    He held up his left hand the first time he said “red tight hand” because he’s iggy and he’s not trying to let anyone tell him what hand he should put up. Heat full of napalm.

  4. s.... ....

    Any idea who is in the band

  5. R.... S....

    Grandissimo iggy unico... La fortuna di averti visto....

  6. M.... D....

    Where can i find the original version that was in peaky blinders ?

    M.... D....

    @alexander six no i mean version of iggy pop but in studio version

    M.... D....

    @Martin Danay I've been trying to get a physical copy for two years but it's only available for streaming or download via Spotify etc
    As sick 🤮 as that makes me

    M.... D....

    Martin Danay did iggy record this in the studio?

    M.... D....

    @Mike Schmidt yeah i think so, i already found that version on spotify

    M.... D....

    @Simon James Young so did he make a record exklusive for spotify?

  7. E.... S....

    Ήμουν και εγω εκει:) (ειχα την τιμή!)

  8. E.... B....
