From Mother, Brother, Lover 'At one point I intended it to be the title track of the next Pulp Album, but the singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh released and album of the same name in 1999 and I abandoned the idea (and the song).'
When I read that last night I thought what a sad, and rather prosaic, end for a really beautiful song. Jarvis obviously still thinks highly of it as it's the only unreleased Pulp song in the book
Indeed...and the second inadvertent Chris de Burgh influence on Pulp's songwriting. I read somewhere, Truth And Beauty probably, that Jarvis wrote the line ''I've never seen you look so ugly as the way you did that night'' from Don't You Want Me Anymore? after becoming sick to death of the sound of ''Lady In Red'' bombarding radio stations in the mid-80s.
