Track Description
Available in:
"Pencil Full of Lead" is a song by Scottish recording artist Paolo Nutini. The song was released in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2009 as the third single from his second studio album, Sunny Side Up (2009). A music video of the song having been released on 20 October 2009. The song peaked at #17 on the UK Singles Chart and #33 on the Irish Singles Chart.
The distinctive trumpet, including flutter-tonguing and wah-wah, is by Gavin Fitzjohn.
Nutini performed the song on various UK TV shows including The Graham Norton Show and, with his band The Vipers, performed the song with other album tracks at Willton Music Hall before the album was released. Nutini also performed the song live at the Royal Albert Hall in November 2009 for Children in Need.
The song was chosen as one of the Desert Island Discs of Len Goodman.
The music video for the song was added to YouTube on 20 October 2009. The video is set in a television studio and opens with a view from the control room. The performance begins with a coloured clay model of Nutini singing amongst an all-female band of real musicians and dancers. He starts to grope the band members and one of the dancers slaps him across the face, radically deforming his clay features. The music stops and an awkward pause ensues as the production staff assess the situation. One of the dancers flattens his hand under her foot, but escapes and runs away as the girls chase him, hitting a camera and tripping over a wire trap that the girls have set. The video ends with the women playing with the component clay parts of Nutini. The video ends with a mini-model of Nutini springing back to life from her hand, and him trying to hide his naked body from view.
