The song title is a play on the title of Miles Davis’s 1960 album Sketches of Spain, in keeping with the Raoul and the Kings of Spain album’s Spanish theme. The song similarly features Spanish flamenco-style guitar with castanets.
[Verse 1]
Daylight saved, daylight saved
To spite the dark in spite of the darkness
There I'll crave, there I'll crave
To get to the heart in spite of the darkness
[Chorus]
Great wide stretches of canvas signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness only a fool would frame
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
[Verse 2]
Some cry shame, some cry shame
We tore them apart, we failed to imagine
God might claim, God might claim
The works of art we failed to imagine
[Chorus]
Great wide stretches of canvas signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness only a fool would frame
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
Sketches of pain
