Soundgarden - Hands All Over Lyrics






Hands all over the Eastern border
You know what? I think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over Western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures

Got my arms around my baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And I love her

Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers

Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words I utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
And I love her

  1. B.... H....

    Cornell’s like “Hey Robert Plant, hold my vocal range while I film this music video and you down-tune your guitars so your voice can hit the notes of your old, not as good as this songs.”

  2. F.... G....

  16. I.... M....

    Those 162 dislikes have no idea what good music is

  17. P.... B....

    I'm still trying to figure out who went full on Kev's mom.

    P.... B....

    Chris or Kim

  18. K.... ....

    World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020 risk report highlights environmental and climate change risk is at the top (and will most probably remain so for years "until resolved") of the current global risks.

    So, it's real and felt everywhere: Brazil, Australia, Greenland, California, etc. etc.

    Save our mother... we all love her

  19. b.... b....

    listening in 2020 and always❤

  20. C.... ....

    Anthem of a good radical (probably green) movement somewhere.

  21. I.... M....

    Seattle at it's Best

  22. C.... I....

    30 years !! :')

  23. R.... R....

    Severely underrated song. Listen to the lyrics closely, shit still going on in mother and worse now.

  24. T.... R....

    Young Chris with no facial hair looks nothing like Chris😂 if not for the hair & the eyes

  25. P.... O....

    Aaahhh, the 90's.

  26. A.... G....

    Is it too close to Even Flow by Pearl Jam ?

    A.... G....

    Ahmed GaminG no

  27. P.... S....

    I loved this so much.

  28. W.... ....

    Kinda crazy that this is a environmentalist song, huh?

  29. a.... m....

    Guitars on top

  30. J.... p....

    Dude holy shit some of the drum patterns in this are fucking insane, it doesn’t sound overplayed/complex but it’s a ridiculously difficult drum part. Matt Cameron’s a good

  31. L.... T....

    this sounds like Pictures of you by the Cure.

    L.... T....

    LadyGoing TheBestWay no

    L.... T....

    @Jeffrey Swiderski yes

  32. R.... S....

    Melhor fase da banda, músicas arrastadas, porém pesadas, pra mim depois do Superunknow, eles tomaram um direcionamento diferente, beirando o Pop

  33. S.... G....

    Shit has it been 30 years? Man I'm gettin' old!

  34. K.... C....

    Merry Christmas Husband Matthew Cameron did u know I can play guitar like Kim Thayil

    Well done, sirs 👍

  37. K.... C....

    I Love You So Much Husband Matt Cameron you have the prettiest eyes

  38. J.... D....

    This sound does have a grunge footprint, although the band does not have this side, this song has this style well.

  39. N.... -....

    This is Hands All Over my favorite song of all-time.

  40. M.... R....

    Ben Shepperd truly made a difference in the band's sound when he joined in.

  41. A.... ....

    Very first Soundgarden song I ever heard. Was in the movie Pacific Heights. Went looking for more. Was not disappointed.

  42. V.... ....

    They made a song about pollution and climate change before it was cool.

  43. G.... O....

    AWESOME

  44. I.... ....

    Holy shit remember when these guys were a kickass metal band. Wtf happen

  51. K.... C....

    Hi Husband ur so cute drumming I wanna thank my friend Elizabeth McDonagh for always letting me talk to her after hockey practice

  52. H.... U....

    It's weird how hard the the director of this tries to pretend there's no such thing as Kim Thayil...

  53. K.... C....

    Plus Maroon 5 has never won a Grammy hahahaha Matt Cameron my Husband has

  54. K.... C....

    F.... K....

    You got it in reverse🤘

  59. s.... m....

    amo esta cancion

  60. V.... W....

    Stil the most relevant and important protest song to the day. Thank you Soundgarden!!

  61. T.... J....

    best part is that last sustained "her" right after the last set of "kill your mother gonna kill your mother...and I love - herrrr--errr...-" That part has admittedly given me chills for 20 years. only reason i have to hear this song at random time to time. No other song does that that I have heard...its very passionate, gotta hand it to Chris on this one

    T.... J....

    Yeah, he was somethin❤

  62. N.... -....

    *DONT TOUCH ME*

  63. M.... T....

    god damn Chris was sexy

  64. N.... -....

    Can't stop listening to this fucking masterpiece. MY GAWWD this is definitely my favorite song on this album.

    N.... -....

    I'm with you there... but.... loud love? I swear to god, I want something to explode, I've been deaf now I want noise.

    N.... -....

    Agree with ya both

  65. A.... F....

    0:22 Persiana americana.

  66. S.... ....

    4:24 is my fav part of the song

  67. H.... A....

    Still Dope AF

  68. m.... ....

    I love Soundgarden and Nirvana

  69. L.... M....

    Soundgarden is loved and I'm glad to be one of those Lovers

  70. G.... J....

    Wow. Chris looks so young.

  71. R.... S....

    Chris Cornell predict the iPhone X

  72. 1.... ....

    Pacific Heights.

  73. F.... T....

    Hands all over the coastal waters
    The crew men thank her
    Then lay down their oily blanket
    Hands all over the inland forest
    In a striking motion trees fall down like dying soldiers
    Yeah like dying soldiers


    THE MANG ~ Stop killin' yer planet

  74. F.... T....

    MISS HIM SO MUCH.

  75. K.... 1....

    143 people who disliked this are nickelback fans

  76. D.... B....

    Mother Earth: DONT TOUCH ME!

  77. L.... D....

    Sexy chris cornell

  78. M.... 1....

    I discovered this track a few years back while watching the 1990 film Pacific Heights starring Michael Keaton

    Producer was Terry Date who’s worked with some of the biggest and best rock bands there’s been

    Absolutely great track and will always be the track I remember as one of Soundgarden’s very best

  79. L.... ....

    No one sings like you anymore

  80. T.... ....

    I got hip to them on a late night alt show on MTV called 120 minutes, the only place you could see a Bad Brains video!

  81. M.... T....

    I think Chris is beautiful, and this is coming from a 100% heterosexual man. It's not necessarily physical, just that overall 'soul' he possesses, I dunno how else to state it. Oh yeah, Layne Staley too!!

  82. A.... S....

    If i get to listen to this song a million times...still wont be enough
    Beyond Legends right here🤘💙💋

  83. F.... Z....

    Love this song and Jesus Christ Pose

    And no, I will not choose, both killer

    F.... Z....

    I love em all, i could not choose......❤

  84. B.... ....

    They got mad at me i think cause i kept asking them where Hiro was. One of the greatest nights of my life was seeing these guys at a little hotel ballroom in a bad part of town for Louder Than Love. I will never forget that night. Prong was there too! Just incredible. That whole night was such a trip.

  85. S.... B....

    I had read about them being like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath didn't know too much about them but I was friends with this guy that ran a record shop and he gave me this tape and told me " it'll blow your mind ".....damn if he wasn't right!

  86. B.... ....

    Hey kids, he's talking about mother earth. Don't kill yer mother, k?

  87. B.... ....

    I think we're falling

  88. J.... W....

    The good shit

  89. p.... ....

    i remember this video playing in the film 'Pacific Heights' just before Matthew Modine gets his head caved in, it was visceral I tell thee.

  90. S.... D....

    ...from "Louder Than Love" -- still my all-time favorite album of theirs!!

  91. P.... W....

    Love love love love love Chris so missed 💔

  92. V.... W....

    Let's get this over a million views for Chris!

  93. k.... ....

    I can't find the song blasting backwards from these guys

  94. J.... L....

    Rev 11:18 and the #nations are angry and Your #wrath has come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and Thou should give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy Name, small and great; and should destroy those who DESTROY THE #EARTH

  95. M.... K....

    This song , I feel , is about the EARTH. I'm a huge sound garden fanatic. I sang in 3 bands and always had the songs in our rotation. That riff is soo FUCKIN heavy. I've followed Chris through his career, all good bands buy ,
    SOUND GARDEN IS LEGEND

  96. N.... S....

    A segunda melhor voz do planeta, só perde pro Bruce Dickinson!

  97. M.... F....

    All time favorite soundgarden song. First song I ever heard. Love it top 5 favorite song ever. Totally rules😎👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
