      @@akwilson1676 Noel is a good songwriter, love him or hate him. You can like both, shockingly!
      Also, Jarvis has the talent to back up his demeanor, but he can be just as cocky / smarmy in person as Noel is but in an "art school" kind of way rather than "talented kid from council estate" way.
      Essentially the whole britpop "rivalries" are mostly about class. Pulp / Blur being middle class and Noel/Liam being working class.

      @@bretthackett3357 I don’t know man I think Noel Gallagher’s song writing is utter shite. He never wrote about anything important. Pulp did. The fact Noel is from a council estate means shit all he’s still an arrogant twat IMO. The only difference is that Jarvis cocker any interview or whatever where he was arrogant is outnumbered by the amount of self deprecating interviews to the point you can tell he is being arrogant for a laugh. Noel Gallagher just liked to make being from a council estate his personality because he had nothing else to him.

The body grows old but the mind never does, my gran is still as funny and sharp as she's always been in her early eighties and I love her. She was telling me that she knew a woman in her late 70s who was getting married again, the woman had been married five times and had outlived all her husbands! So someone said to her Mrs Whoever, why don't you stay alone and the woman replied: "No! I don't like to be alone, even just to have someone to pat it." LOOOL! In her 70s!!! LOL!

    Help the aged,
    One time they were just like you
    Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
    Help the aged
    Don't just put them in a home
    Can't have much fun when they're all on their own
    Give a hand, if you can
    Try and help them to unwind
    Give them hope and give them comfort
    'Cause they're running out of time
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal, so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away
    When did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover, baby
    Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away
    Help the aged
    'Cause one day you'll be older too
    You might need someone who can pull you through
    And if you look very hard
    Behind those lines upon their face
    You may see where you are headed
    And it's such a lonely place, oh
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away
    When did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover baby
    Teach you stuff although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away
    You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change
    Can't run away from yourself, yourself, yours-s-s-s-self
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal, so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away.
    When did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover, baby
    Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away

    Got an underrated reception at the time, because it's lower key in many ways than Common People was - it was often viewed as a let down as a follow up (even Russell Senior of Pulp didn't get it). But it's got a nagging genius to it, and the chorus hook especially gets in your head.
    Glad This Is Hardcore generally as an album has had the positive reappraisal it deserves in recent years.

    Google voice recognition brought me here. I'm fairly sure I haven't heard this since the late 90's / early 00's, and the "funny how it all falls away" tune has been stuck in my head for the last few years or so.
    I'm so glad I rediscovered this. It's nice to know that Pulp did more than just "Common People" and "Year 2000". This is a great song.

    It's inspired by A Matter of Life and Death, a classic that you really should check out. In the film, the main character falls in love with a radio operator as he's plunging to his death in his spitfire. When you die you take an escalator into heaven's waiting room and you get checked in by reception. Only this time there's been a mistake...

      Yes, and now years later after watching Powell & Pressburger's 1946 British masterpiece, I've only just realised that at the end of the video with the change into black and white and the shots of all the 'stair-lifts' to Heaven (the film was marketed as 'Stairway to Heaven' when it was shown in America) and the band rising on the pedestal in the final 'arena', the video director is clearly homaging similar shots in the Heaven parts of the film, which you can see glimpses of in this new trailer for the recent 4K restoration. ua-cam.com/video/S0veuSLLWZ0/v-deo.html

    The funny part is watching someone sing about ageing and how fast time flies and you realize that he is old now and the beautiful woman in the video wont be beautiful anymore and that really makes you think that times flies even though youre 16

    Help the aged
    One time they were just like you
    Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
    Help the aged
    Don't just put them in a home
    Can't have much fun in there all on their own
    Give a hand, if you can
    Try and help them to unwind
    Give them hope & give them comfort 'cause they're running out of time
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away
    When did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
    Although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away
    Help the aged
    'Cause one day you'll be older too
    You might need someone who can pull you through
    And if you look very hard
    Behind the lines upon their face you may see where you are headed
    And it's such a lonely place
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away
    When did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
    Although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away
    You can dye your hair
    But it's the one thing you can't change
    Can't run away from yourself, yourself
    Yourself, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self
    In the meantime we try
    Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
    No big deal so give us all a feel
    Funny how it all falls away
    Oh and when did you first realize?
    It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
    Although he's looking rough
    Funny how it all falls away
    Funny how it all falls away
    It's funny how it all falls away
    Funny how it all, it all falls away
    Help the aged
