LYRICS - Put Your Hands Up - Nerina Pallot

Okay so I noticed that a lot of people are being linked to my blog whilst searching for the lyrics to Nerina Pallot's forthcoming single: 'Put Your Hands Up'. I wrote a short post about the song a few days ago but the lyrics weren't included. I had a quick look online but couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I thought I'd release them onto the world wide web. I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics and I have checked with a few other Nerina fans but feel free to let me know with a comment if you think there are any mistakes. 'Put Your Hands Up' is due to be released on May 23rd, so... enjoy!!

Oh it’s the strangest thing,
I wasn’t looking out for anything.
My boat had just set sail,
I was flying as the wind prevailed.

What did you think you were doing, doing?
I couldn’t shake loose, not from you, not from you.
I couldn’t shake loose, now I don’t mind.

Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love,
Cos I need you to feel me, feel me.
Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love
I don’t care if it’s greedy, greedy.

Whatever you want, you’ve got it.
Whatever you do I’m on it.
Whatever you want, you’ve got it,
Just put your hands up.

I was a lonely girl,
Swimming lost in the widest sea.
But the truth of it,
There ain’t no man could ever get to me.

Now I just see stars when I’m with you.
This is my heart that I give you.
What did you do with your voodoo, voodoo child?
What did you do to me?

Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love,
Cos I need you to feel me, feel me.
Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love
I don’t care if it’s greedy, greedy.

Whatever you want, you’ve got it.
Whatever you do I’m on it.
Whatever you want, you’ve got it,
Just put your hands up.

Put your hands up.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Put your hands up.
(Oooooooh)


Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love,
Cos I need you to feel me, feel me.
Put your hands up,
Say you won’t stop
Giving me love
I don’t care if it’s greedy, greedy.

Whatever you want, you’ve got it.
Whatever you do I’m on it.
Whatever you want, you’ve got it,
Just put your hands up

Put your hands up now,
Come on and put your hands up now.
Whatever you want you’ve got it,
Just put your hands up

Nerina Pallot - Put Your Hands Up

So it's a very exciting time in the world of Nerina Pallot at the moment. On May 30th her new album 'Year of the Wolf' will be released and I have a feeling it's going to be a big one. The first single: 'Put Your Hands Up' is currently named as Popjustice's song of the day, with a snippet of the track, which I have to say is incredible! Popjustice describe the song as "an understated yet PATENTLY BRILLIANT tune", warning it "is highly addictive". Click here to visit the Popjustice article. The single will be released on May 23rd, so you better make sure that you all buy it!

The final cut for 'Put Your Hands Up' is an absolutely beautiful song, the brass instruments work brilliantly with Nerina's voice and great lyrics and provide a whole new take on a song that we've only previously heard live. It's a really lively track that Pallot once described as 'a bit Eurovision' and 'as camp as Christmas', but since the original live version that we heard it's definitely progressed; 'Put Your Hands Up' would be wasted on Eurovision. I don't think I could be more excited for the music video, especially as Nerina once pictured people on roller skates wearing sailors outfits and cossacks dancing. So a big ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ for 'Put Your Hands Up', and bring on May 23rd!

Here is a sneak preview of the new single.. and it sounds amazing!!
