One of the best Pulp songs. I'm not sure I fully appreciated that in 1997 when I was 16 but it's stayed with me all these years. The lines "Before I turn to gold
Yeah we'd love to hear your story" seem to reference Leonard Cohen's A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes; which says "I'd like to tell my story,"
Said one of them so young and bold,
"I'd like to tell my story,
Before I turn into gold."
