Proper love song! It's full of real things, actions, thoughts, etc. That's what makes it Pulp but the lyrics make it a love song. ❤️ Aah to all those who had it as their first dance!

One of our wedding songs

Me too. And We Hold Eachother Up by The Wonder Stuff.

It is a fucking great track!

So many amazing songs, I love their lyrics.

Thinking of David's Last Summer now.

Mojodojocasahaus · 12/01/2024 23:09

Where would we be now if we’d never met…

Its lovely, had it at our wedding as a table name

Beautiful.

I could listen to Jarvis’ voice forever. In fact, when my waters broke early for dc2 I did exactly that _ listened to him on a Walkman, on a loop, for a week.

Absolutely a love song! Different Class is such a good album. I also like;

"It doesn't make no sense, no
It's not convenient, no
It doesn't fit my plans, no
It's something I don't understand, oh
F-E-E-L-I-N-G-C-A-double-L-E-D
L-O-V-E, what is this thing that is happening to me?"

It just sums up that all consuming kind of love where you had no idea you could feel so strongly about another person and it drives you a bit mad for a bit.

Honestly Jarvis could read the phone book and it would be seductive. 😍

Brilliant love song, such tender lyrics, without the cynical edge of other Pulp songs

TheWelshposter · 12/01/2024 23:49

Jarvis is a genius, absolutely love Pulp. Still gutted that I missed seeing them on their recent tour.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/01/2024 08:16

@DeadButDelicious I’d like to have Jarvis on one side and Alan Rickman on the other. All they’d have to do is talk.

@DeadButDelicious I’d like to have Jarvis on one side and Alan Rickman on the other. All they’d have to do is talk.

During the last song at the tour gig I went to last summer he did the usual intro of all the band members and finished with "and my name is Jarvis...and I was born to perform" before launching straight back into the finale of Common People, and I swear the entire audience swooned.

Jarvis reads his book 'Good Pop, Bad Pop' for those wanting a fix of his voice.
@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie completely with you on that!
I always took the 'I wrote this song two hours before we met...' bit as Jarvis's lyrical meanderings, rather than what PP have said about him 'settling'. There's something about the way the whole song is put together that just makes my heart soar.
FEELING CALLED LOVE has some amazing lyrics (as quoted above). And I love 'it's not all chocolate boxes and roses. It's dirtier than that'. The right balance of 'I love you and I also fancy the pants off you'.

DeadButDelicious · 14/01/2024 20:28

'it's not all chocolate boxes and roses. It's dirtier than that'.

Lord have mercy that line does things to me 😂😂. I also love Acrylic Afternoons, he can do anything he likes on that pink quilted eiderdown 😂😂. There is something so incredibly sexy about that man.

TippiHedrin · 14/01/2024 20:52

It’s no O.U.

windywalk · 14/01/2024 21:46

Jarvis is just fabulous!

StrawberrySquash · 14/01/2024 22:31

Yes, it's a great song. And yes, another person who sat there with her (sadly now ex!) partner going, it's about us meeting.

Pickledprawn · 15/01/2024 16:15

It's beautiful

niairin · 19/08/2024 12:58

Hey I found this thread because I'm planning our wedding service and this is on my list! Also 'our' song.

Wondering if any of you included it would share what other songs / readings you used? I'm asking because we are definitely more realist than romantic and a lot of suggestions are very saccharine in my opinion :-) I half wish I was doing a religious service so I wouldn't have to make the decisions 😂

WessexPrincess · 19/08/2024 13:03

Love this song ❤️
