Vivacious type (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

live wire

(Other definitions for live wire that I've seen before include "'One is very energetic, almost electric (4,4)'" , "Life and soul of party" , "Alert and enthusiastic person" , "Very sparky person" , "isn't it shocking?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
