Jigsaw Girl Lyrics
Give me your hand
And I will hold it forever
On my nightstand
In a box with your love letters.
I love you dear,
And I know we will not be parted.
I'll keep you near,
Scattered around my apartment.
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
Give me your hair,
Just a lock will do.
An old photograph
To capture the spirit of you.
And I'll keep these things
Wrapped up in an old cotton blouse.
The one you wore
That summer before your love petered out.
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
Laid on my bed
A beautiful mess
My whole world
Jigsaw girl
You gave me your hand.
You gave me your hand.
I don't understand
Why you don't want it back.
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
Honey I tell you true, I'll never lose you.
And I will hold it forever
On my nightstand
In a box with your love letters.
I love you dear,
And I know we will not be parted.
I'll keep you near,
Scattered around my apartment.
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
Just a lock will do.
An old photograph
To capture the spirit of you.
And I'll keep these things
Wrapped up in an old cotton blouse.
The one you wore
That summer before your love petered out.
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
A beautiful mess
My whole world
Jigsaw girl
You gave me your hand.
I don't understand
Why you don't want it back.
And I could breathe easier
Once I brought you back again.
You are not the same girl you had been.
I promised I'd never lose you.
Honey I tell you true, I'll never lose you.

this one's pretty obvious, eh? he liked a girl, she stopped liking him so he cut her up and put her around his house so she'll be with him forever.
I think you guys are missing something. I think he's actually planning on bringing this girl back to life. That verse about the hair, the photograph and the blouse, I think that's ingredients for some ritual to make her the living dead. "I could breathe easier, once I brought you back again." Hence the title Jigsaw girl, he's going to put her back together after he cut her apart. Hot damn. The Toadies were grandly evil and bizarre.
Absolutely brilliant. I CANNOT believe this whole album didn't catch on better. Blame Interscope records, I guess.
twisted. i love it.
This is my second favorite Toadies song (1st is Tyler), but anyways. This song is very cool, but also kinda sad when you really think about it, because he's never going to actually be with his whole world (his girlfriend) again, the girl herself being dead & cut-up, and there's also this strange lonely/old feeling that makes it sad (probably the way he sings the songs and unusually normal tune). It's very hard for me to explain what I exactly mean...
I hate to double post, but I meant "song" not "songs" on the second-to-the-last sentence on that last comment I made. (For some reason, that typo just throws me off so much).
I think this song is more of she left him, but he is still in love. He is finding little peices of her around the house, things that remind him of being with her. thus the title jigsaw girl. Except now he is obsessed with having her back.. kind of psychotic in a way. Thats just my interpretation(sp)

hmmm, i'm not understanding how the conclusion that she was cut up got reached.
i'm inclined to agree with Destructingbeauty, she left him ("before your love petered out.") and he's holding onto her stuff. --love letters --blouse --lock of hair --photograph
these are the pieces in the ''jigsaw girl" and he puts them together so he can keep her close.
''once i bring you back again" --when they're together again.
they're heavy into the obsession bit, but i'm not seeing anyone getting cut up in the song. simply the fact that he refuses to move on.
Agreed. I think anybody actually getting killed here is somebody trying too hard to channel 'Possum Kingdom'. She has left him, and he's devastated. So he keeps little mementos of her's around, to remind himself of the happier times they shared together. He's being a bit obsessive with his wishful thinking and nostalgia, but I don't get any murderous vibes here.

seems kinda like its about a couple, and the girl changed, like drug abuse or something of that sort, and the guy couldnt stand it or something and broke it off, but still loved the old her so therefore kept all the pictures n stuff. thats kinda a rough idea
