And they praise Noel Gallagher's lyrics, when this genius exists. Ridiculous.

[@bretthackett3357]

@@akwilson1676 Noel is a good songwriter, love him or hate him. You can like both, shockingly! Also, Jarvis has the talent to back up his demeanor, but he can be just as cocky / smarmy in person as Noel is but in an "art school" kind of way rather than "talented kid from council estate" way. Essentially the whole britpop "rivalries" are mostly about class. Pulp / Blur being middle class and Noel/Liam being working class.

[@akwilson1676]

@@bretthackett3357 He was a somewhat decent songwriter, but ran out of juice pretty quickly. The first two albums were all that he could offer, really. Decent tunes with gibberish lyrics.

[@starwarssiths4316]

@@bretthackett3357 I don’t know man I think Noel Gallagher’s song writing is utter shite. He never wrote about anything important. Pulp did. The fact Noel is from a council estate means shit all he’s still an arrogant twat IMO. The only difference is that Jarvis cocker any interview or whatever where he was arrogant is outnumbered by the amount of self deprecating interviews to the point you can tell he is being arrogant for a laugh. Noel Gallagher just liked to make being from a council estate his personality because he had nothing else to him.

[@haradwatch]

Jarvis is probably one of the best English performers.His way of singing is so theatrical, it's just great...Also the Pulp videos should be a reference to any group who wants to make video clips...

[@truelazerlight]

I'm kind of surprised by the comments here. I'm pretty sure the song is not about being kind to old people in the way some of the people here might think. It's making fun of gold diggers going after rich old men. It's dripping with satire. I'm not sure how you can read the lyrics any other way ...

I was 19yo when I started listening to pulp, i'm 38 now and I feel as if I had 50-55yo, my mom is 73yo (i guess) and she's fine, nothing serious almost, but she's old, I'm getting old and I'm thinking about it, walking that path. I'm losing fear to death, I mean, if something has to happen, it's gonna happen anyway, and I feel neutral to that

we had a teacher who we nicknamed Catweasel. He taught RE. 1976ish, long curly greasy hair, checked jacket with elbow pads. He told us his favourite band was Jethro Tull (didn't mean anything to us!) Outside of school he used to take us fishing and tell us cool stories. Will never ever forget that man.

Behind the apparent silliness, the message is in fact rather profound. He's so right. The body grows old but the mind never does, my gran is still as funny and sharp as she's always been in her early eighties and I love her. She was telling me that she knew a woman in her late 70s who was getting married again, the woman had been married five times and had outlived all her husbands! So someone said to her Mrs Whoever, why don't you stay alone and the woman replied: "No! I don't like to be alone, even just to have someone to pat it." LOOOL! In her 70s!!! LOL! Guess it never goes away. lol! :-) xx

Google voice recognition brought me here. I'm fairly sure I haven't heard this since the late 90's / early 00's, and the "funny how it all falls away" tune has been stuck in my head for the last few years or so. I'm so glad I rediscovered this. It's nice to know that Pulp did more than just "Common People" and "Year 2000". This is a great song.

[@JensSchellhammer]

I laughed about it15y ago. And now it happened to me too!! Happens faster than you'd think.

[@flycreeper]

Got an underrated reception at the time, because it's lower key in many ways than Common People was - it was often viewed as a let down as a follow up (even Russell Senior of Pulp didn't get it). But it's got a nagging genius to it, and the chorus hook especially gets in your head. Glad This Is Hardcore generally as an album has had the positive reappraisal it deserves in recent years.

Help the aged, One time they were just like you Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue Help the aged Don't just put them in a home Can't have much fun when they're all on their own Give a hand, if you can Try and help them to unwind Give them hope and give them comfort 'Cause they're running out of time In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever No big deal, so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away When did you first realize? It's time you took an older lover, baby Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough Funny how it all falls away Help the aged 'Cause one day you'll be older too You might need someone who can pull you through And if you look very hard Behind those lines upon their face You may see where you are headed And it's such a lonely place, oh In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever No big deal so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away When did you first realize? It's time you took an older lover baby Teach you stuff although he's looking rough Funny how it all falls away You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change Can't run away from yourself, yourself, yours-s-s-s-self In the meantime we try Try to forget that nothing lasts forever No big deal, so give us all a feel Funny how it all falls away. When did you first realize? It's time you took an older lover, baby Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough Funny how it all falls away Oh, it's funny how it all falls away Funny how it all falls away Oh, it's funny how it all, how it all falls away So help the aged
