| Travis – Selfish Jean Lyrics | 17 years ago |

there's that bit "And this house is not a home" which calls to mind The Smiths' (similarly titled!) Jeane -- "Jeane There's ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this a home " intentional & quite fitting homage i daresay (for ref: The Smiths - Jeane : http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858497485/) |

| Pulp – Anorexic Beauty Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Wallamanage - have heard (read?) the same thing. from the now-defunct Bar Italia resource-site perhaps... either way it seems to be very much 1) obviously from Pulp's early days, b) a Russell Senior-headed effort as evidenced by his taking lead vocal (nearly unprecedented in Pulp's canon) + possibly acquiring the lyrics (from another?) of his own accord. Russell also takes lead vocal on The Will to Power, This House is Condemned, & (record-session only) Srpski Jeb - other pre-1990s efforts which sound unlike the rest of Pulp's canon... although I do adore Russell (loved that violin!) he can be a bit odd with his choices sometimes. (BTW this is delph from above - forgot prev login.) but yeah, i don't see how this song glamourizes anorexia any more than 'Sorted out for Es and Wizz' is upbeat positive about, well, Es & wizz & drugs in general - listen closely & they're both sad, mocking songs (speaking as one who had her stint in the design/fashion industry on both sides of the camera-lens) |
