Lyrics: Whatever we do the cavalier will keep on laughing From his place upon the wall And that's how it might be forever 'cos you know most of the time I don't do anything at all But I'm in love with you - whatever that may mean I believe we can be together now and forever in my dreams It's so easy to say forever in my dreams And I understand that you can't wait forever For me to decide what's on my mind This attitude so cavalier, will be the death of me, I'm sure my dear But in the meantime, try not to think too badly of me Because I'm in love with you - whatever that may mean I believe that we should be together now and forever in my dreams Dreams can cut through life and rip it at the seams Teach me how to fall in love and how to make it last forever And I love and respect you, I will honour and obey But baby will I marry you? Well, that will be the day And not when we can be together now And forever in my dreams
It was a serious mistake to hire Scott Walker, a decision which led ultimately to Pulp's demise. This great Chris Thomas produced track shows what might have been.
The band were looking for a different sound in preparation for the We Love Life album and weren't happy with Chris Thomas's production style for this new approach so they amicably parted ways. Scott Walker was a bold choice but I don't think a bad one. The band's days were numbered by this stage as their record label had largely lost interest and even failed to consult the band on choices for the album's singles. I personally think 'We Love Life' is probably their best work and showed how much they'd evolved as a band from their 'Different Class' days, but We Love Life's lack of chart success has nothing to do with Walker, rather a record label unsure what to do with a formerly massively successful band, a band unhappy with their label and a music industry that had moved on to other fashionable interests of the time. The band were always very complimentary of Scott's work during and after recording of the album.
This is definitely one of the most underrated tracks. It's been actually delisted from two of the most popular streaming services - glad that it's still available here at the moment..
Whoa this is great! It's always a shame when little gems like this lie dormant and obscure. We Love Life seriously needs a re-release with bonus content like this included on it, preferably in CD quality instead of the lame frequency range the only two releases have.
Dear Jarvis & Co. If you release this as a single now, you will take over the world a second time just as hard as you did in 1995. I know I'm just another swede, but I lived and worked in East Croydon at the time (As the art director of Die Hard Trilogy game on the first Playstation.) and I don't know much, that's for sure. But I DO know that this song (The Boss) Is a remarkable pop hit that will blow anything currently out there out of the water. So just, please. Pretty please, with sugar on top. (PS: If you wonder where your recent revenue stream comes from its probably from me repeating this song on spotify constantly.)
The whole quality dropped drastically in the third season, with most episodes being rehashes of previous ones and even rehashes of rehashes. The reason being they were told to produce more episodes only to get to 52 so the series could be bought for syndication.
FYOOTB My above information about its release in the deluxe edition of the This is Hardcore album as ‘This is Hardcore’ is correct, as is the info about the personnel responsible for the track. However I will correct to advise its first release was as you say in 1998 as the End of the Line Remix. Thanks for pointing out the error and making it. Right.
I have to laugh at the trendy people who think it fashionable to knock this song and the series it was from. I pity them for not enjoying it nor accepting the spiritual advances of this song.
This song really should have made it on the album [THIS IS HARDCORE]. It was a cutting room floor casualty, so to speak. Originally intended for but didn't make it in the end. It's such a terrific, gorgeous track and upon first hearing it, way back circa. 2006 when the Deluxe Editions of the three biggest Pulp records came out, it didn't take long for it to hit my Top Ten List Of Pulp's Greatest Songs. Now, it's cozied up with the Top Five! Viva la Pulp!
