| Jarvis Cocker – Fat Children Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song may seem comedic at first, conjuring images of obese children. But Jarvis has always been ambiguous and at times, inaccessible. First verse, he was mugged by kids who wanted his cellphone. His cellphone now being his "life", coz it contained pictures of his wife and kids or whatever things the narrator put in there. Second, Strangers took him to the police station but the police where "elsewhere, putting bullets in some guy's head for no particular reason". Could be the police perfunctoriness over "petty" street crimes such as the narrators'. The narrator died, and became a ghost. Last verse, is an attack towards the parents for rearing children (fat kids) who are irresponsible and have limited understanding in life. |
