Behind the Songs: Jigsaw

A few quotes from Love Spit Love on their song "Jigsaw".


Richard Fortus (on being asked his favorite Love Spit Love songs): "'Jigsaw'. Because it is different to anything else out there right now. There is nothing out there that can also relate to it either. It is also like a weird hybrid type of a song. It is like Tom Waits meets a British cabaret." (Highwire Daze 1994)


Richard Fortus: "I think people who know my playing realize songs like 'Green' and 'St. Mary's' and 'Jigsaw' and 'Wake Up' are songs that are a big part of my thing." (St. Louis Post Dispatch 1994)


Richard Butler (on the music): "I keep getting this vision of this German SS soldier staggering down a dark alleyway at 4 in the morning, with lipstick on, and a garter over his uniform leg." (Unknown source, 1994?)
