Mother, Brother, Lover: Selected Lyrics Book

Jarvis Cocker is widely regarded as one of the most original and memorable lyricists and performers of the last three decades. Here for the first time is a selection of sixty-six lyrics presented with commentary and an introduction by the man himself. In this volume readers (and Pulp fans) will find such classic Jarvis lyrics as "Common People" "Disco 2000" "Babies" "This is Hardcore" and "Do You Remember the First Time?" The selection assembled by the author reveals a sensibility that is unmistakably Jarvis: a sometimes visceral sometimes everyday take on love relationships and the things we do to each other when the lights get low. "Mother Brother Lover" takes the reader on a thirty-year tour into the life art and preoccupations of one of the great British artists of the late twentieth century. Shocking sharp clever and funny it is a beautiful collection of lyrics and commentary. ; ; Read More
