about

When this recording was made, the band did a dummy run to check everything before recording the actual track that you hear. Both versions were exactly the same length to the second, which impressed Jake the engineer greatly.
This song is in the key of G#m and much of the music comes from the voice and Marc’s bass melody.
George plays the guitar parts on Nicodemus.
Verses are mostly G#m and D#m, and between verses the chords are C#m and D#m.
Before the choruses the chords are C#m, A and G#m.
Choruses are mostly G#m and E.
Richard and George felt that this song was written about Marc.
The tempo of this song is 134BPM.

lyrics

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
