Pulp - A Little Soul

Jarvis Cocker is a great example of a gent who despite not been gifted with the greatest voice in the world, was able to turn that into a strength. The way his voice cracks on the last line is as good as any 8 octave holler. Lyrically this is Cocker at his bleakest,which helps explain why "This is Hardcore" was something of a commercial flop. Songs about Fathers telling their son to piss off for their own good, tend not to be clasped to the heart of the great British public. Still one of Pulp's best songs though, and one that I suspect all of us who have spent one night too many drowned in regret will long cherish.
