LYRICS |
N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings.*
Just click on your favourite song, and you too can be Jarvis in the privacy of your own room! If there is a particular song you want to see up here then let me know. Bear in mind that officially sanctioned lyrics are not available for every song, because Jarvis hasn't released them all. However, we know that you want to read them all so some of the unpublished ones have been transcribed, but please note that these may not be 100% accurate.
* Jarvis explained to me why this caption has appeared on every Pulp album in issue 32 of Pulp People, when we were talking about the process of making a record:
Jarvis: "The ways in which you get to a final destination are really quite irrelevant; the important thing is when somebody puts something on the record player, what effect it has on them, and sometimes, actually knowing how something was done, can undermine that. I've always had that feeling, that's kind of partly the reason for that thing that I always put on the lyric sheet, the 'Don't read the words whilst listening to the record', because to me that makes it seem forced and the words are really kind of shoe horned into place"
PP: Even though people do it anyway?
Jarvis: "I know, they're so naughty."
