Unrequited love sums it up.

If anybody has ever read the Charles Dickens book they would feel the emotion that is in this song. My personal feeling is that the song was written with the film in mind but inspired by the book. I did not really like the modern make over the film gave.

Most people at some stage come across somebody they love dearly but for one reason or another the person wont return the love that is felt, becoming best friends but nothing more. This song sums it all up – “wipe your feet on my dreams”, all these things that are so bad for you but you’ve got to have and keep coming back for more like an addiction “and I’ll come running just to do it again”

This has to be up there as one of the best Pulp songs. But the best Pulp song depends upon the mood I am in and how I feel. There are so many. And as for the band in concert well – saw them 4 times and every time thought they were absolutely amazing and the best live band I’ve ever seen. PS read great expectations!
