"There's No Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake" is a song by Biffy Clyro, and a track from their 2004 album, Infinity Land. It was released as a digital download, and later appeared on the free Kerrang! cover-mounted CD, Best of 2004. The song makes use of changing time signatures and angular guitar riffs. The introduction features lyrics which are screamed rather than sang. The song is regarded by many{{who|date=September 2014}} to be the quintessential Biffy Clyro track, as many of the band's styles and sounds are all contained within this one song.

This version is different from that on Infinity Land.{{clarify|date=September 2014}}

Musical structure

The song, much like most of the band's work around this period, does not follow a conventional verse-chorus structure. It rather features several distinguishable sections with recurring musical ideas and riffs. The song features the band's signature "stop-start" style, with erratic riffs and time signatures.

The song opens with a fast and erratic riff played on a Fender Stratocaster before bursting into a loud distorted guitar section. After the intro comes the first vocal section in which the lyrics are screamed by Neil. After two "verses" in the screaming vocal style, the next sung section begins with the words "take extra special care."

The next section begins with a guitar riff played in a 5/4 time signature. The lyrics "ribs break souls stay bare. Your forked stare cuts through" are the same as those in the preceding a capella track on the album "There's No Such Man as Crasp".

The final section in the song comprises an extended distorted guitar progression before the lyrics "You're facing a pointless task, and it's the same thing. I will face the task" are layered over each other. These lyrics are also adapted from"'There's No Such Man as Crasp".
