Franz Ferdinand – Ghost in a Ditch Lyrics	19 years ago
Nick McCarthy sings it. He's sung lead vocals on a fair amount of Franz Tracks : Tell Her Tonite, Van Tango, Jeremy Fraser, All For You Sophia and some others too that I can't think of right now I'm sure.

Franz Ferdinand – Tell Her Tonight Lyrics	21 years ago
I'm thinking along the lines of, when you fancy someone, how you can overanalyse movements into meaning what you want them to mean. "She only swung her hair, but I saw it". Girls playing with hair is known as a flirting signal but, then again, girls also just play with their hair.

Pulp – Like A Friend Lyrics

21 years ago

Outside the context of this film, and more personally to Jarvis, I have always thought it was self-referential of the 20+ years that he has spent in Pulp and how it "takes up his time, like some cheap magazine"...Pulp...magazine...see? Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but this is what it has always meant to me. If it wasn't written for the film then I'd be tempted to believe that was it's original meaning, or if it was, maybe this was in the back of his mind anyway...?

Pulp – Underwear Lyrics

21 years ago

About a girl who enjoys the act of getting off with a bloke one night and likes the idea of going home with him afterwards. But, once they're away from the club or whatever, and she's standing in that bedroom with him, knowing what's expected, it suddenly doesn't seem like such a tempting prospect. The task has been achieved, she's being offered what she was after, but now she's thinking "actually, now it's come down to it, I can't really be bothered."

Pulp – Pink Glove Lyrics	21 years ago
By 'comfort' obviously, well, you know what I mean. The song is just one big seething, brimming pot of sleaze...but then, that's Pulp.

Pulp – Pink Glove Lyrics

21 years ago

This song is a man's observations about a girl he used to be with, who is now in a relationship with another man who is...a little bit pervy. The verses and bridge seem to mock her situation; "Now you've done it once now he wants you, to wear your pink glove all the time" and "I'd laugh if I saw...but I'm out of the way"... Then the chorus reminds her that, even though she has chosen to live her life this way, if she ever feels unhappy, then he'll always be around to offer her some 'comfort' if she ever needs it; "say you'll visit your mum, then tell me that you'll come and meet me in the afternoon".
