Such a great talent! Jarvis I love you ( in a friendly manner obviously !) I "know" you since PULP back in the 90's when ,as I a student, I first settled in GB and then I never stopped listening to you. You are so poetic, melancholic and your melodious ryhtm in your songs just pop it all !! I love it ! keep going; Your album with Chilly Gonzales is just fabulous. Jarvis, YOU ARE THE Artist !!
@eamo95 To reflect on what a song it was...there is a pause button on the bottom left of the video window and a little box with an x in it top right of this window, for those who dont feel like reflecting on what they just heard...
Jarvis the Poet! he´s one of the best lyricists ever!
so we can realize that jarvis is one of the best musicians ever
I met her in the museum of paleontology
And I make no bones about it
I said if you wish to study dinosaurs
I know a specimen whose interest is undoubted
Trapped in a body that is failing me
Well, please allow me to be succinct
I wanna love you whilst we both still have flesh upon our bones
Before we both become extinct
That's what I told her: I wanna be your lover
And then I told her twice: I wanna be your lover
Well, he says that he loves you like a sister
Well I guess, I guess that's relative
He says that he wants to make love to you
Well instead of "to", shouldn't that be "with"?
Oh, I told you once: I wanna be your lover
And now I've told you twice: I wanna be your lover
And so I come to you filled with guilt and self-loathing
And I am praying that you could make me good
And so I fall upon your neck just like a vampire
Yeah, like a vampire who faints at the sight of blood
And I told you once: I wanna be your lover
I'm gonna say it again
And then I told you twice: I wanna be your lover
Well this is my CV and I've got no one else to blame
So I will state, state my case, I will state it again
Come and help yourself to leftovers
Got a little surplus love and affection
And getting cuddly, so won't you cuddle me?
I could be your teddy bear... oh yeah
I know I ain't no eligible bachelor
This is no mouthwatering proposition
Make no mistake, you're in big trouble, little lady
If we start a-hugging and a-kissing
And a-kissing, are you listening?
'Cause I told you once
And then I told you twice
And now I told you three times
And at the risk of repeating myself
I'm gonna say it again
Yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
And at the risk of repeating myself this Song is brilliant
One of the best lyricist of all time.
I met her at the museum of paleontology, and I made no bones about it! 😂 Amazing line!
"i wanna be your lover" you can say it 100 times

Gotta love Jarvis lyrics. I wonder how he feels years later? Probably the same! Good man.
praise the youtube algorithm for showing me this hidden gem.
what an attractive man.
Indeed he is. Saw him live after his first solo album, and he is so charismatic and mesmerizing onstage.
Well this is my CV and I've got no one else to blame
Oh yes please! This man is a turn on! 😍😂
Awesome song. The lyrics are absolutely profound.
`))•((`
Jarvis' natural voice, the deep voice, is making my wings `‛"ring"'` when he's singing.
Love this song, but I can´t help thinking of Friends, the sitcom hah.
haha same, reminds me of Ross trying to be with Rachel
same!
Well. it reminds me Chandler, I think Chandler reminds me of Jarvis a little.
Thought I was listening to some Modern Lovers jams I had heard before. absolutely brilliant
very, very influenced by Lou Reed and the velvet !
damn goooood
I find this song very "Beatlish", don't you think so?
Coney Island Baby
N C-K Nice spot
fab song!
I'm just going to point out the bad punch/edit at about 1:40 on "he". It just jumps out to me and now I want everyone to hear it.
great song but why all the dead air time at the end? re-up
make me crazy
!!!
This song reminds me of a poem called The Fly by John Donne
Neckbeard anthem lol, still a good song tho
I love you
hilarious parodious tribute to the artificial way that lou reed wrote
the best hipster
He is the last real dandy in the rock industry.
sigh, sublime lyrics
Jarvis Cocker has finally written the best Phish tune ever!
leftovers then its bock...shit
coolest beard ever
i like it
happy birthday jarvis.....i love you!!!!!
