about

The first proper single from the album, this song is about awareness in the modern world, how we are hoodwinked and lied to all over the place all the time, and keeping your wits about you in such a hostile environment is essential. We also made a fun 80's karaoke video for it too.

lyrics

CATCH A CLUE by Andy Jackson

You never really see what you think you see,
It’s decoded chaos through brain chemistry,
Then reprocessed through your memory
Baring no resemblance to reality
But the clocked stopped and time said meh
It’s like the laws of nature in our rules don’t share
So you climbed to the top for the world to see
Then you got all smashed up by some gravity
Tight rope tied but the gaps too wide
As you’re falling from grace on the rapid side
Course on the horse of catastrophe
Tumble on a comedown from pure ecstasy

Who, who, who do you think ya fooling?

Snooze you lose, the screws, aren’t patrolling for you
Get a grip, get a smarter, catch a clue
The blues and twos, aren’t looking out for you
Get a grip, a non starter, catch a clue
The truths elude, the ever scrolling news
Get to grips, take a moment, catch a clue
It’s up to you, exactly what you choose
Have a think, lightbulb moment, catch a clue

You didn’t hear what you though you heard
Considered for a second it’s clearly absurd
Caribbean pirate got the poop deck bird
Fresh prince showed that paper beat rock
Previous iterations were performed in frocks
Or placed in stocks and then pelted
Condemned quicker than the ice cream melted
Chin up sport it’s all a shifting
Multiverses all coexisting
Nothing short of everything missing

Who, who, who do you think your’e fooling?

Snooze you lose, the screws, aren’t patrolling for you
Get a grip, get a smarter, catch a clue
The blues and twos, aren’t looking out for you
Get a grip, a non starter, catch a clue
The truths elude, the ever scrolling news
Get to grips, take a moment, catch a clue
It’s up to you, exactly what you choose
Have a think, lightbulb moment, catch a clue

Every corner taken straight
Problems problem in a state

Snooze you lose, the screws, aren’t patrolling for you
Get a grip, get a smarter, catch a clue
The blues and twos, aren’t looking out for you
Get a grip, a non starter, catch a clue
The truths elude, the ever scrolling news
Get to grips, take a moment, catch a clue
It’s up to you, exactly what you choose
Have a think, lightbulb moment, catch a clue
Excuse, then cruise, views are all eschewed
Get the pip, seed the planter, catch a clue
Confused, bemused, become your own guru
Get the trip, get enlightened, catch a clue
The clues, you choose, who with you say ‘I do’
Something old, something borrowed, something blue
Defuse, the ruse, that’s been pulling over you
Get a grip, take your moment, catch a clue
