Songfacts:
Jigsaw is a British pop band fronted by Clive Scott and Des Dyer which had a string of minor hits throughout the mid and late 1970s. Sky High was their biggest hit, and became so unexpectedly. It was the theme song to the motion picture The Man From Hong Kong (also known as The Dragon Flies), which is a martial arts espionage film that combined elements from James Bond and Bruce Lee movies.

The band’s name was simply ‘Jigsaw’. However their records were released in Australia under the name ‘British Jigsaw‘ to differenciate them from the Australian band of the same name.
Lyrics:
Blown ’round by the wind
Thrown down in a spin
I gave you love, I thought that we
Had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop?
