Biography

British indie rock/Britpop band founded in 1978 in Sheffield. Sole constant member is [a76828] who formed the band while at school, and led the band through a series of stylistic changes and numerous band members until finding success and a stable lineup by the early 90s. They split in 2002, and reformed in 2011 for a series of reunion concerts before going on hiatus again in 2013. It was announced in 2022 that Pulp was to reunite and play some shows in 2023, as confirmed by Jarvis Cocker at a Q&A for his memoir, "Good Pop, Bad Pop", which was initially teased via a cryptic Instagram video posted by Cocker featuring the lyrics, "What exactly do you do for an encore?", that featured on the song "This Is Hardcore" from the album of the same name.

LYRICS

She doesn't have to go to work,
But she doesn't want to stay in bed,
Cos it's changed from something comfortable,
To something else instead.
This bed has seen it all,
From the first time to the last,
The silences of now,
And the good times of the past.
And it only cost ten pounds,
From a shop just down the road,
But that was seven years ago,
And things were very different then.
It didn't get much rest at first,
The headboard banging in the night.
The neighbours didn't dare complain,
Oh everything was going right.
Now there's no need to complain,
Cos it never makes a sound.
Something beautiful left town,
And she doesn't even know its name.
Now every night she plays the sad game
Ooh ah ah,
Called pretending nothing's going wrong oh,
Oh but she knows,
If this show was televised,
No one would watch it,
Not tonight but sven years ago.
La la la la la la la
Now there's no need to complain,
Cos it never makes a sound,
Something beautiful left town,
And she never even knew its name.
She doesn't have to go to work,
But she doesn't want to stay in bed,
Cos it's changed from something comfortable,
To something else instead
