| The Verve – Velvet Morning Lyrics

Great song, i've often wondered if there's any link to the velvet underground what with the title plus the fact that "more dead than alive" is a lyric from "I'm Waiting For The Men". I don't know whether this is just coincidence or if there are more references to the VU in the song. |

| Pulp – Cocaine Socialism Lyrics
| 20 years ago

This seems to be pretty straightforwardly about Tony Blair and New Labour and how they'd moved away from socialist values and the use of image and celebrities to get them into power in the '97 general election, with such cringe inducing sights as Blair and Noel Gallagher cracking jokes about Cocaine in number 10. This song is just a satire of that whole time and ideas. I must agree a truly great Pulp song. |

There seems to be some possible reference to the film Withnail & I in this. Firstly the actually use of the name Withnail and also "staying for the weekend" as in the film the main event is the two characters go away to the country for the weekend and also "swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park" is very much like the end of the film where Withnail is drunk and drinking wine in a park in the rain after saying goodbye to I(his name is never said in the film). I've no idea what this means in the context of the song really, there are some other potential similarities earlier but they're not as firm. Anyway good song and Withnail & I's an very good film i'd recommend anyone to watch. |
