Razzmatazz Lyrics


The trouble with your brother
He's always sleeping with your mother
And I know that your sister
Missed her time again this monthAm I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want I can write it down
It shouldn't matter to you 'cos aren't you the one
With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you, babe?
I was lying when I asked you to stayNow no-one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming 'round tonight to try and talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things
They ain't working, no they ain't working anymoreYou started getting fatter
Three weeks after I left you
And now you're, you're going with some kid
Who looks like some bad comedianAre you gonna go out?
Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of milk tray?
Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one
With your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?And your father wants to help you doesn't he, babe?
But your mother wants to put you awayNow no-one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said

And he's not coming 'round tonight to try and talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things
They ain't working, no they ain't working anymoreOh well I saw you at the doctor's
Waiting for a test
You tried to look like some kind of heiress
But your face is such a messAnd now you're going to a party
And leaving on your own
I'm sorry, but didn't you say
That things go better with a little bit of razzmatazzAnd now no-one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming 'round tonight to try and talk you into bed
Now it's half past ten in the evening and you wish that you were dead
'Cause all those stupid little things
They ain't working, no they ain't working anymore

Pulp is an alternative rock band that formed in 1978 in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. The band's best known and most stable lineup consists of Jarvis Cocker (vocals), Russell Senior (guitar, violin), Mark Webber (guitar), Candida Doyle (keyboards), Steve Mackey (bass) and Nick Banks (drums). Although many members have had a long tenure with the band, the only constant member has been Cocker. In 2011, it was announced on Pulp's official website that the band's classic lineup would reunite and perform at several festivals, including Isle of Wight, that year.

Originally called "Arabacus Pulp" (although they shortened it to Pulp within a year), the band achieved sudden success some thirteen years after their formation and became known during the Britpop era as much for their music as for frontman Cocker's antics (notably conducting a stage invasion during Michael Jackson's performance of Earth Song at the 1996 BRIT Awards).

Achieving little success off the back of a Peel session in 1981, Pulp were finally able to release their debut album, It, in 1983. This album and its 1986 follow-up, Freaks, showcased a Pulp keen on Nick Drake (notably on the It single, My Lighthouse), with strong folk roots and little sign of the tendencies for storytelling and acid house music which would eventually bring forth success.

After the release and commercial flop of "Freaks", the band disbanded for a year, though formed a year later to record a third album, Separations. Delayed for three years after its recording, Separations showed Cocker's increasing exposure to acid house, featuring multiple synths, and a hit single, My Legendary Girlfriend, which helped Pulp's career start to rocket.

Their next single, Babies, which would eventually feature on their 1994's commercial breakthrough His 'N' Hers, and it was the first example of the Pulp-sound most listeners associate with the band--cheap synths, rolling guitars, and Cocker's deadpan vocals telling a story. "His 'n' Hers" in sound, was lumped in with the Britpop movement of the time, receiving commercial and critical acclaim. However, it was the 1995 single Common People, which finally saw them become known, eventually charting at number 2 in the UK charts. Awash with Britpop guitars, catchy keyboard lines and that trademark Cocker vocal performance it has remained a favorite. A successful appearance at Glastonbury that summer cemented their fame, and their success was subsequently confirmed by the release of Different Class, which arrived at the peak of the Britpop movement and featured this song and other UK hits as Disco 2000 and Sorted For E's & Wizz.

Their last two albums, 1998's darker This Is Hardcore, -an album that marked the end of the Britpop era- and 2001's more downbeat We Love Life were commercial successes, but Pulp were no longer as famous or trendy as they had been in the height of Britpop. Following their curation of a music festival, Auto, in 2002, the band announced that they would be embarking on an "indefinite hiatus".

In 2003, Jarvis Cocker released an album as Relaxed Muscle and then two solo efforts, 2006's Jarvis and 2009's Further Complications.

On 8th November 2010, it was announced that the band with its most relevant lineup will reform to play a series of gigs in summer 2011.
