      Totally agree with you! And coming from a heterosexual male hot on the heels of Jarvis are Brett Anderson (she's in fashion) and Morrissey (girlfriend in a coma). All impossibly beautiful human beings.

The ones calling us "weirdos" are just very traumatized children underneath the bravado and machoness not just the dudes but the girls like this too. When you finally stop being scared of them and telling yourself the story of what they did and how they're acting towards you and others you're free and it's such a relief🙂

      It's exactly about being poor and "learning too much at school". It's about working class nerds and misfits, people like me and my friends. It's about the generation of working class kids, of whom Pulp were part of, who had more access to further and higher education (free tuition fees, polytechnic universities, community colleges, well resourced libraries etc), which then politicised them against the ruling system "We learnt too much at school now we can't help but see that the future that you've got mapped out is nothing much to shout about".
      Also note the line "We'll use the one thing we've got more of and that's our minds."
      It's about being working class, eccentric, and smarter than the stupid rich cunts in charge.
      Source: I've been singing and dancing to this song for 25 years or whatever the fuck it is now. It is our anthem!

    'The financial/material saturation of this country England (cf. the film 'I'm Alright Jack' (1959), that began in earnest in the year 1960 with a seemingly-endless supply of cheap manufactured goods, obviously showed no signs of abating a generation later in the year 1995, going by the lyrics of this song.'
    I.e a great piece of 1990s social commentary, rendering Jarvis Cocker a rightful evolution of a particularly cynical/deeply thought-provoking lyrical style initiated by Ray Davies w/ The Kinks in the 1960s, subsequently worked upon by Paul Weller w/ The Jam in the 1970s to brilliant effect.

    Although I have one or two of their fantastic songs in my Spotify playlist, I have only in the last week or so 'discovered' Pulp (I lived in USA for a decade), and am totally and utterly obsessed with the band, the music and of course Jarvis. I actually like almost every one of their tracks, the videos are awesome and Jarvis is just so goddamn seductive in a way I cannot explain. Kinda like Bowie I guess? With music today so mediocre or a bad influence for kids due to crap like X-Factor or gang culture, to be able to get into such an outstanding band is refreshing. Now going to go watch all the other Pulp videos and load up the playlist! And keep practising guitar...

      If you think he's bowie-esque and seductive, may I suggest Suede as well?

      He comes across like that purely because he's just being himself...simple as that. They were writing great songs right from the start. That was 10+ years before their first "hit" single/LP!

    A band that hit the charts too early/late fuck knows. They are phenomenal but i can't tell you what age they belong in.
