En su época estudiantil, Jarvis Cocker quería ligarse a una compañera de clase adinerada. Aunque no lo consiguió, el intento le sirvió para componer ‘Common people’, la canción que situaría a Pulp en el lugar que le correspondía dentro del britpop.

Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.
Creo que "Mis-shapes" lo refleja mejor que "Common People".

What's the point of being rich if you can't think what to do with it?
'Cause you're so very thick.
Oh we weren't supposed to be, 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.
We're making a move, we're making it now,
We're coming out of the side-lines.
Just put your hands up - it's a raid.
We want your homes, we want your lives,
we want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
Temazo lo mires por dónde lo mires.

When you lived on Stanhope Road.
We listened to your sister,
When she came home from school,
Cos she was two years older,
And she had boys in her room.
We listened outside and heard her.
Alright.
Well that was alright for a while,
But soon I wanted more.
I want to see as well as hear,
And so I hid inside her wardrobe.
And she came round four,
And she was with some kid called David,
From the garage up the road.
I listened outside I heard her.
Alright.
Oh I want to take you home.
I want to give you children.
You might be my girlfriend, yeah.
When I saw you next day,
I really couldn’t tell,
Cos you might go and tell your mother.
And so you went with Neve,
And Neve was coming on,
And I thought I heard you laughing,
When his Mum and Dad were gone.
I listened outside, I heard you.
Alright.
Oh I want to take you home.
I want to give you children.
You might be my girlfriend, yeah.
Well I guess it couldn’t last too long.
I came home one day,
And all her things were gone,
I fell asleep inside.
I never heard her come.
And then she opened up her wardrobe,
And I had to get it on.
Oh, listen
We were on the bed when you came home,
I heard you stop outside the door.
I know you won’t believe it’s true,
I only went with her ‘cos she looks like you.
Oh I want to take you home.
I want to give you children.
You might be my girlfriend, yeah

Well did you hear, there’s a natural order.
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say: Shit floats.
If you thought things had changed,
Friend you’d better think again,
Bluntly put in the fewest of words,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let ‘em all kill each other,
And get it made overseas.
That’s the word don’t you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, it’s anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
Your free market is perfectly natural,
Or do you think that I’m some kind of dummy,
It’s the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you don’t like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but don’t imagine that it’s heard, Oh no no,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Hay Jarvis hay meneo.

We were friends that was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes
but it meant nothing to you 'cos you were so popular.
Fantásticos Manel.

Paz y prosperidad.
no te atrevas a mirarme a los ojos, funcionario;
no tendré piedad ninguna, ¡sufre y llora en tu calvario!.
si he de escuchar en las noticias que pobrecito, que qué injusticia...
yo en mi prisión haré una fiesta cada día que siga tu cuenta.
¡te jodes! ¡haber estudiado cuando estabas a tiempo!
¡a ver dónde hay otro pringao que mate por su sueldo!
ya no te acuerdas de mí, en el nº 13 viví,
soy aquel kíe del penal que ansiaba algun día hacerte sufrir.

Clara referencia a Ortega Lara.
No hay tregua(Barricada)
Es el juego del gato y el ratón
tus mejores años clandestinidad
no es muy difícil claudicar
esto empieza a ser un laberinto
¿Donde está la salida?
Estas asustado, tu vida va en ello
pero alguien debe tirar de gatillo.
Tu infantil sueño de loco
no es respuesta demencial
este juego ha terminado
mucho antes de empezar.
Anónimo luchador
nunca tendrán las armas la razón
pero cuando se aprende a llorar por algo
también se aprende a defenderlo.
Estas asustado, tu vida va en ello
pero alguien debe tirar de gatillo

Alusión a ETA y se canta en todas las fiestas de los pueblos.
Tenia medio claro que Jarvis era capaz de tirarle toda su mierda a la cara por muy primer ministro que fuese.
Y sí, Parklife y Morning Glory me parecen disco mediocres y aburridos. Lo siento, puestos a escuchar mainstream brit, prefiero escuchar el Generation Terrorist, que al menos entretiene un buen rato y tiene dos baladas muy buenas.
