Great song, but one that didn't age so gracefully IMO ... partly because Jarvis wrote much better pervy illicit affair songs later on (e.g. I Spy, Seductive B****)

No, Acrylic Afternoons is the best because he didn't outcreep himself - you can imagine that stuff happening everyday, everywhere.

yeah, AA beats I Spy for me - I've never been sold on the class war stuff in the latter - AA a much stranger piece of work, with the net curtain/eiderdown world around him, lying under the table - it's like the affair's super-sexual yet taking place in childhood memoryland.

This is true, the imagery in AA is great, but I Spy is a better song. The keyboard hook in AA has always annoyed me a bit and the chorus is somewhat drab, the magic is nearly 100% in the lyrics and Jarvis' delivery. I Spy is a much richer song (the strings, the way it builds as it goes along), and I've always loved Evil Conniving Jarvis (so says the guy who loves "Freaks").

i see - for me the chorus of AA is killer - the way the melody unwinds & almost overstretches through that odd little vision of all the children's mothers finishing with lovers. I guess i can see I Spy is the stronger song in almost all regards - ambition, arrangement (especially), doing a lot of big things at once with the lyrics (it's prob his ultimate sex, class, resentment, ambivalent self-dramatisation moment) - and I did vote for it, but out of admiration rather than current love.

There we go, Daavid! I took a brief break for lunch and was about to come back and drop some more clues. I should apologize - my first image was an opposum (a small animal that -might- only come out at night) but then my second image was a lizard, which is not an animal, SCIENCE FAIL. :(

isn't it a reptile? maybe I was right all along. I'm stupid with those things - my head only had room for pop culture trivia.

"Help the Aged"
you can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can change can't run away from yourself yourself your-s-s-s-etc.
BUNCHA NITPICKERS
yes, there are virtually no lyrics in the song that wouldn't have led to an immediate giveaway. I tried!
A little shocked this placed so high tbh!

Interesting, or not, to note that Pulp only played Help The Aged once this summer, in Athens.
