JIGSAW

JIGSAW
When time walks by in my best shoes
I know I’ve got to race
Don’t like morning’s newspaper news
Oh mirror, give me a face
With a daytime job like the third world war
If I ain’t in the factory you know I’m in the store
And I’m out of place

Just want the notes of a rhythm machine
My friend’s inside the sound
I shave and wash to keep me squeaky clean
Friday come around
I wish I’d find a reason for tomorrow being there
Cos I got no ambition and I really don’t care
It’s all upside down

It’s so weird just being here
Dreamlines sometimes make it clear
Common sense is nonsense and a life of fear
I got no solution to the world’s intrusion
I got no solution, no mix, no kicks, no fusion

Find me a lover in the neon nite
You know, a girl for me!
But all the women stand so bright and tight
And I’m so loose and free
With a four star heart like a junkyard fence
And a rollerskate mind that don’t make no sense
Can this really be?

I want a recipe for reality
It ain’t asking much
But all I get is entropy
No loving touch
Gotta smile the while while I’m slaving here
They say go far but what I want is near
And that’s enough

It’s so weird just being here
Dreamlines sometimes make it clear
Common sense is nonsense and a life of fear
I got no solution to the world’s intrusion
I got no solution, no mix, no kicks, no fusion

Fun Facts:

  • Jigsaw was originally written and performed by Alien Heat.
  • This song has three separate basslines!
  • The original bassline by Marc was moved to the saxophone and Rowena played it before she left the band.
  • We used the S900 to play the sax after she had gone and wanted to make it sound like it was drifting through the walls whilst being played in a different room.
  • Jeff wrote two further basslines with quite different feels to them, which we have now combined into one.
  • The key of this song is G#m.
  • All the guitar parts are played on Nicodemus.
  • Jeff was responsible for most of the drums and percussion in this version of the song.
