Marillion Song Cinderella Search

[Gavmacp]

I heard this today for the first time in years or decades. At the end I could never make out what he was signing so looked it up. So he sings....
"I always use the cue sheets but never the nets"
What is he on about?

[Buenchico]

Since those lines follow "Welcome back to the circus", I assume that he means that he always sticks to a plan (as with the cue sheets that are used to list the order of performances) and that he does so confidently (without the use of a safety net).

However, looking at the rest of the lyrics suggests that trying to read too much into them might be as much a futile exercise as seeking to interpret the meaning behind Procul Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" ;-)
