I can remember when I was little, my mum had a Pulp tape, and she always used to play it in the car :') Reminds me of Christmas, this one? But to be fair, most songs do? My Mum's car got stolen though :S We managed to find the car, but they'd taken the tape :(
cool, the album version!! Bloody record companies block this song/video from uk, under 'copyright reasons'.... strange this, consider PULP are a BRITISH group....
They need to get their blasted licensing laws sorted out, common sense-wise!!!
seriously this generation is lacking so much....this is a decade ago and yet it lives....great music always survivises.....i cant think of any current group to compare......HELLLOOOO
I've always thought it was "she told me that her dept was loaded" because I just can't understand the meaning of "her dad was loaded?" if anyone knows the meaning of that here would they please explain? I'm norwegian and it really bothers me every time I hear it :P
To date, the single greatest song I've ever heard. I cry when I hear this, not that it's a sad song, but just the music alone is that good! I'm an American and I love British music.
This song ended up in my sociology seminar at university. Then, I decided to use it in an essay about what united working class people.... Songs like these can be a turning point too!!!!
sing along with the common people sing along and it mite just get you trough lauhgh along with the common people laugh along even tho there laughtin at you ;) awsome song!
Although im only 16, i LOVE! this song soooo much, it is the most amazing thing. There aren't bands like pulp, the clash, sex pistols and joy divison. its all MCR and panic at the disco now days. its crap!
@GoldenFranz this is from the different class album you prob got the radio edit i usewd to have the single I got it whenit 1st came out showing my age
I agree with you about the dissing. The song is not likely to appeal to the sensibilities of some one your age. You might feel differently about it in time.
Switched on kerrang on the radio the other day and this came on its one of the most profound songs i have ever heard - whoever wrote it has really lived
the last time i heard anything nearly as good was the who's my generation
Jarvis Cocker wrote this about a greek girl he met at uni in london whos daddy was loaded and would never dream of letting her struggle for herself. awesome song.
thanx, I heard this song like a thousand times in pubs, and it felt right, now that I read the lyrics, and understand it, I like it even more. thanx for posting.
