More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
My breakthrough came when I stopped thinking, 'I've got to be profound' and started writing about everyday normal things.
Product Description
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 unmistakeably 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.

A must have for any Pulp or Jarvis fan but also of interest to lovers of modern poetry. Jarvis Cocker is amazing with words and it's fantastic to actually have them written down.
Love it.
Buy it - you won't be sorry!
