Corporal Jigsore Quandary Lyrics

Excised and anatomised, deviscerated disarray
The torso diverged with pride
Deftly amputated, evulsed limbs now defunct
The trunk imbrued, tatty stumps used as lugs
For a chondrin puzzle so quaint
Head and body decollate
A heaving mass so quiescent...

Scattered and scrambled, your teasement grows
- A bloody caricature to make whole
A squirming grisly jigsaw, detrital fragments fit so snug
- That missing piece will leave you stumped
Totally desassembled, nicely sliced and diced
- A cold mannequin once resembled
Real cranium teaser, carved from flesh and bone
- So mystifying...

Battered and diffused, with placating blows
- A human jigsaw to make whole
A sequacious pattern which once fitted so snug
- Joining together each dubious lump
Ravaged disassembly, neatly cubed and diced
- A cold mannequin reassembled
Astute brain teaser, incorporate flesh and bone
So mortifying...

An incessant game - methodically made
With each cumulative piecing - of commensated meat...

Bi-manual reconstruction, eldritch problem complete
A convented effigy
A pathological toy, each chunk rigorously
Inter mortis locking, as you pathogenically rot
Such a perplexing task
To fit the remains in the casket
Uliginous mess so quiescent...

(Lead: Human Jigsaw by W.G. Steer)
(Lead: A heaving organic puzzle by M. Amott)

An incessant game - methodically made
With each cumulative piece - of commensated meat...

Haha, dumbass, he didn't mean the TV-show, he mean't the actual anatomy text book that was written in the 19th century. Plenty of time for the Carcass guys to read it. And this song could actually mean a jigsaw puzzle made out of human flesh.. and I love all the little puns in the lyrics, morbidly amusing.

prax, actually, it was Gray's Anatomy as a reference. When they first came "onto the scene" people thought they were premed students. Not the case, they used Grays Anatomy to write music.

This song is about identification of a cadaver,and the puzzle that piecing it back together presents.

You're right, this song is killer, it has a fantastic riff, a brutal guitar tone and a fantastic guitar solo. Very nice indeed.

I first heard this song at Church. Just kidding. This song plays in my head everytime I watch one of those gruesome beheadings done by those God fearing Muslims.....its also a song that makes me drive my car really fast. Especially the end where it slows down but the beat maintains a steady pounding that causes me to hallucinate. Carcass will do that. They are brutal yet subtle.
