Any song that starts with the line, ‘these are the hands of a demented circus clown’ will fit perfectly into the LP’s haunted, howling Halloween playlist! The Damned have secured their position in this chilling collection of spooky sounds with their 1979 hit, These Hands.
A relentless tale of murderous antics capturing the assailant ‘chasing you through the night with my hands around your neck!’ This track is sinister to the bone and just so happens to have a rather enticing melody which gives it a nice pleasure-pain edge!..not to mention the delirious laughter which roars through the middle like a chilling wind through a graveyard! Listen if you dare!….
