I absolutely love it !!!! - Me too, I think 1.56 on this video has go down as one the classic moments of all time in music !!!!!! - Awesome, Awesome performance !!!
i wanna be where they r..maybe once in my old life..i will get there..lol..49 for now..see when they come to british columbia..see if i have any $ to get there?..omg.."it's like sex"..give it to me!!!!
Please please please do a British tour, not just festivals. millions of kids grew up listening to your music and i for one want a chance to go see one of the greatest bands of all time live and bathe in their brilliance.
The way Jarvis teases and works up the crowd is hypnotic, before blowing them away to another planet at 1:56, simply amazing. 1:56 is like one massive orgasm
This is a great song. I came to it by way of Folds/Shatner/Jackson... but I really enjoy the original performances. Check out the BBC show with Pulp. NICE!
That's my favourite tune ever. I am a Greek that used to live in the UK and an ex boyfriend used to tell me that they lyrics reminded him of me. PULP rule.
@larsforfaen Finsbury Park 98. It was a whole day event with Catatonia, Ultrasound & others. It didn't really begin until dusk fell & Jarvis stalked the stage, I was only 20m away & was hoisted up onto a big hulk of a man's shoulders for the whole thing (I'm 5ft). As my pill kicked in, the clouds darkened & Cocker, lyrical genius that he is, brought the crowd to an electrifying crescendo. Best live performance, brilliant, thanks to supremely talented musicans & one very kind, large Austrian :D
Youll never fail like the common people. Youll never watch your lives slide out of view and then you dance and drink and screw because theres nothing else to dooooooooo
I've been listening to this song for years, always loved it,seriously catchy and a little clever social commentary, but today I think I really got it for the first time, the despair, the bitterness-"you will NEVER understand..." Brilliant
Jarvis Cocker is without a doubt the best song writer what ever walked this earth, and he is a Yorkshire lad! He makes me feel proud to come from Yorkshire.
emocionante, no hay más palabras, qué temazo, qué disco y qué pedazo de banda. Jarvis=genio, una de las mejores y más simples letras de toda la historia en mi opinión.-
An anthem of the highest order - top song of the decade? And so much expression by the singer .... can it ever be covered? Please don't try, leave it alone, as Jarvis's best ever number.
