If you ask me ... to take a visual approach and to think m i terms of his photos and snipits of the city..
Diamond Jigsaw = Shattered Glass
Its still a ridiculously shit song though...
And in terms of his lyrics.. they guy has pretty much spent all his time recording the "poetry of the streets"... I always presumed much of what he is singing is OTHER peoples words that he has recorded on paper.. ... and what is strange about the latest album is how much the lyrics to the songs are far more cohesive and in the first person..
Usually when there were words in the first person on other albums it seemed from the point of view of someone else.. but this time it seems way more personal.. and frankly a bit boring - the whole of bird 1 is him describing himself sitting in a room.. and the noises he hears.. a fly flying across the room.. i mean..... it reflects his older lifestyle now and is completely different from being wasted on the midnight train Romford..
Overall you are now listening to the words of a content older man, enjoying quieter times and still suffering from the darker times of the past.. but all in all its fairly boring
