I'm A Man Lyrics By Pulp

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes like cartoons from other peoples lives,
I start to wonder what it takes to be a man.
Well I learned to drink & I learned to smoke & I learned to tell a dirty joke.
If that's all there is then there's no point for me.

*So please can I ask just why we're alive?
'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
& if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me 'bout it. Your car can get up to a hundred and ten -
you've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
& nothing ever makes no difference to a man.

So you stumble into town & hold your
stomach in.
Show them what you've got tho' they 've seen everything.
Yeah you're a beauty but they've seen your type before.
You've got no need but still you want,
so go and book that restaurant.
The wine will flow & then you'll just
fly away.

[*Repeat (x2)]
To a man
To a man
That's what I am.

Laughing Boy Lyrics By Pulp

If you stay out all nite that's alright by me
but if you must kiss those guys you could at least clean your teeth
I don't mean to put you down / but you've taken everything that I own
Don't tell me you want some more 'cos I'm closed
Who is this laughing boy who ladders your tights?
Please tell him to cut the noise / 'cos it's spoiling my nites
I just want to get some rest / and he's talking to his Ma on the phone
Well, if he's so homesick he can go home / I don't need this anymore
and it's written in the stars I must go / And will I come back for more?
I don't know / I don't know.

Someone Like The Moon Lyrics By Pulp

She likes to watch the moon as it travels through the sky
'cos she's heard that it's romantic, though she really can't see why.
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.
So she drinks a cup of coffee & telephones a friend
And she asks if she can make it so this night will never end.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.
But the light comes and the day bleeds through the sky & the sun
The sun makes it hard to get through & the radio only plays love songs so she cries
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.
In the evening it gets better
And she thinks how it's not right that someone so stupid can so easily screw up your life.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.
But the light came and the day bled through the sky & the sun
The sun made it hard to get through & the radio only played love songs so she cried
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see? Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

Separations Lyrics By Pulp

As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love
And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice
and she will sleep alone again tonight
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town
With a smile he gets off the train
He lights a cigarette leans back to see the sky
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is without her hanging round
Let's do it
And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay
At a lonely bar-room table his mind goes back
to yesterday to the girl who's dead and buried
But her face lives in his eyes
He must forget that face forever
Make the future start tonight
Forget her
But the meal he eats is dead flesh
There is cancer in his cigarettes and the drinks won't do a thing for him
But revive some stupid memories
Then a hairstyle that reminds him makes him run into the night
Where the moon hangs high above him now
The same moon that she's praying on tonight
But the wind catches her words and the moon swallows them whole
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
The night is cold and dark and she is all alone
The bed is empty now
Her body screams for love
She wants to be with him
Oh but he's so far away
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

59 Lyndhurst Grove Lyrics By Pulp

There's a picture by his first wife on the wall
Stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall
A stain from last week's party on the stairs
No one knows who made it or how it ever got there
They were dancing with children round their legs
Talking business, books and records, art and sex
All things being considered you'd call it a success
You wore your black dress oh-oh oh-oh...
He's an architect and such a lovely guy
and he'll stay with you until the day you die
And he'll give you everything you could desire
Oh well almost everything everything that he can buy
So you sometimes go out in the afternoon
Spend an hour with your lover in his bedroom hear old women
rolling trolleys down the road
Back to Lyndhurst Grove Lyndhurst Grove Oh.

The Fear Lyrics By Pulp

This is our Music from A Bachelors Den
- the sound of loneliness turned up to ten.
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed & it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot -
making out that they're okay when they're not.
You're gonna like it, but not a lot & the chorus goes like this:

Oh Baby, here comes the fear again.
The end is near again.
A monkey's built a house on your back.
You can't get anyone to come in the sack
& here comes another panic attack.
Oh here we go again.

So now you know the words to our song,
pretty soon you'll all be singing along.
When you're sad, when you're lonely & it all turns out wrong.
When you've got the fear.
& when you're no longer searching for beauty or love -
just some kind of life with the edges taken off.
When you can't even define what it
is that you are frightened of
this song will be here.

Oh Baby, here comes the fear again.
The end is near again.
If you ever get that chimp off your back.
If you ever find the thing that you lack
but you know you're only having a laugh
& here we go again.
Until the end
Until the end

She's Dead Lyrics By Pulp

She's dying, everybody came to see
She's falling and I know I'll never see her face again
And I don't really know just why she's leaving
All she ever said was she just had to go
And I watch her as she walks away from me
Yeah, I can see her then I know that in a moment she'll be gone
Yeah, she'll be gone and and then I'll say
"You've got to understand. She's not really breathing no not at all
Those years of endless rain, they just washed her away."
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah she's going for good
Oh and I'd love to go with you but I never would face it
You've blown it this time round
Now I understand just why she's leaving
Oh if she'd have hung around with me
Well you know she'd never go, no nonono
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good and I'd love to go with you but I never would
Oh and I know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good and I'd love to go with you oh but I never would
No I never would
No I never would
No I never would
Oh no Dadadada dadada...
She's never coming back
Face it
She's gone
Oh Lalalala lalala...
No I never would
No I never would.

Manon Lyrics By Pulp

Manon Manon keeps a corpse in his home
Manon Manon picks the flesh from her bones
Manon Manon Manon
Manon hard and white as a stone
Manon Manon sits alone, all alone
Manon Mano Manon
Oh, Manon Manon Manon leave her body alone
Manon Manon put a match to your home
Manon Manon Manon
Oh, Manon
Dans les jardins on peut voir Manon un enfant de quarante-cinq ans
Ca femme est morte, oui, c'est vrai, mais il cueillit la peau de ces os
Derriere les arbres, il voit une jeune fille en jouant avec son frere
Il les approche
Je vous renonce Manon
Vous etes un vrai chien
Laissez son corps en paix Manon Manon.

Seductive Barry Lyrics By Pulp

Here in the night love takes control. Making me high making me whole.
*I don't know. Oh no, no, no.
No I don't know. No, no, no.
No I don't know.

When I close my eyes I can see you
lowering yourself to my level.
I don't know where you got those clothes,
you can take them off if it makes you feel better.

Don't stop it now. Now is so right.
Now as the day slips away
& we slide into night.
[*Repeat]

I open my eyes & you're there,
even better in the flesh it would seem.
I'm so ready and willing & able it's untrue,
to act out this love scene & make my dreams come true.
& how many others have touched themselves
whilst looking at pictures of you?
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true?
I don't expect you to answer straight
away,
maybe you're just having an off day but
I need to believe in you.
Yes I do. Yes I do. Oh

I want you here in my heart. Here in my head.
Live all your dreams for tonight here in your bed.
[*Repeat]

So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights 'cos I'm not going home tonight.
This love scene has begun. There's nothing left for us to do but get it on.
Lets make this the greatest love scene
from a play no-one's thought up yet.
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive:
I've wanted you for years. I only needed the balls to admit it.
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
there's nothing you can do about it. No.
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky.
Breathe in, breathe out,
I love the way you move. Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight.
You are beauty, you are class,
you showed it all but you still kept a little piece back just for me.
A little piece back just for me.
Just for me.
Oh I don't know how you do it but
I love the way you do it, when you're doing it to me.

& if this is a dream then I'm going to
sleep for the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
