(This Is Hardcore, 1998) What’s more kitchen sink than a song about washing up? Jarvis really should have opened This Is Hardcorewith ‘Dishes’, since it has the best first line he ever wrote (“I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials”). There’s a touch of John Cooper Clarke to JC’s poetic ode to middle-aged mediocrity, but the orchestral swe...
(His ‘n’ Hers, 1994) The opening synth shimmer and thick bass-line feels almost filthy enough for a song full of some of Pulp’s dirtiest lyrics (“he doesn’t care what it looks like, just as long as it’s pink and it’s tight…”), but ‘Pink Glove’ is much more than schoolboy sniggers. While other classics hide Jarvis under the bed, this one leaves him ...
(His ‘n’ Hers, 1994) Talking of hiding under the bed… The (slightly?) happier flipside of ‘Pink Glove’ comes right before it, telling the story of an affair that’s sort of still live and kicking (“as long as you save a piece for me”). The hint of actually getting laid brings its own energy too – bouncing to one of Pulp’s best floor-filling riffs in...
(Different Class, 1995) Different Classhas its own double bill, this time in two beautifully downbeat confessionals about the sweet start and bitter end of a relationship. ‘Something Changed’ seems inseparable from ‘Live Bed Show’, even if the unhappy ending runs the wrong way around, but it’s easily the tenderest of the two. Pulp rarely do old fas...
(Different Class, 1995) Pulp have more than a few radio hits to their name, but while brit-pop crowds were screaming the choruses to the band’s biggest singles (see below…), ‘Mis-Shapes’ was quietly becoming an anti-anthem for anyone who preferred singing into a hairbrush instead. As much about outsiders as was about class, it’s a song that belongs...
(Different Class, 1995) The closing track of Different Classis also the perfect end to any good indie disco – a song that looks like bright lights suddenly cast on sticky floors, the smell of spilt drinks felt all the way to Frith Street’s best after hours espresso. There’s a lounge bar lilt to Cocker’s voice as he rings in last orders, and nobody ...
(His ‘n’ Hers, 1994) Cocker is pop’s greatest storyteller, and he’s never been on better form than on this sharp little vignette from His ‘n’ Hers. Almost starting with “once upon a time…”, ‘Babies’ begins as a classic tale of unrequited love (Jarvis hiding in a wardrobe this time) before bursting into a scream of teenage kicks. The best, though, i...
(Different Class, 1995) It only takes three chords to get everyone on the floor. Everyone knows the words (and even if you don’t, you’ll still do an impression of Jarvis when he says “Deborah!”), and everyone feels the pang of nostalgia every time it’s played, remembering just how long ago it really was when the millennium felt like the future. Des...
(Different Class, 1995) Pulp’s back catalogue is practically built on sexual awkwardness. Tapping into the moments no one else wants to sing about, ‘Underwear’ is the most intimate few minutes on Different Class– a glimpse into the mind of someone who really isn’t sure if they want the thing they desperately want. Brimming with sadness and sweetnes...
(This Is Hardcore, 1998) Pulp’s swoony late 90s sex opera would be the band’s crowning achievement if it didn’t feel like we shouldn’t be listening in. Writhing with Bond cool and Soho sleaze, the title track off Cocker’s anti-pop opus is a mini-epic that flashes a big red light in the face of all expectations. Still as raw and cinematic today as i...
The song is about Jarvis Cocker's childhood friend Deborah Bone. When Deborah was 10 she moved from Sheffield to Letchworth but she remained friends with Cocker, who sang the song at her 50th Birthday party.
