Just saw the ????'s on the After You lyrics on PulpWiki. Is it not just: "She said she- and then she- until I turned blue"?

Don't Falter I presume? How did you sequence it? I suppose anything you play after a hat-trick of floor fillers would automatically keep people up dancing as long as it had a good beat, but if it actually got people up following a 'dead' song, then that'd be quite some achievement!

It was the first song of my set - the person before had just played Istanbul by They Might Be Giants. People were on the dancefloor and they stayed there, gathering in enthusiasm if anything!

Any likelihood of seeing you at a DF some time this year?

Excellent news!

I'd very much like to think we'll be able to get to DF at some point in the year. Leeds is just less useful than Liverpool/Hull type places in that there are a noticeable shortage of our parents around in order to help with babysitting duties! We aim to start going to gigs again around March though, so sometime after that if things go well!

After You is going to be on Steve Lamacq's round table tonight - show starts at 6pm. Bowie's new song (which I find a bit dull will also be on there).

For those of you who don't know - the round table is where a few minor celebs chat about new releases and rate out of 10.

As is the Suede track - so they will be going through all the tracks discussed on the forum recently!

It went down very well with unanimous praise - 8/10, 9/10 and 8/10! They joked that it was written in their contracts to like it. Mark Thomas thought it was very real and subversive whilst still being fun.

It may even beat Bowie to track of the week!

Simply great to be listening to a new Pulp song being reviewed on the radio!

Great! Not that bad for a song written such a long time ago. I guess it says a lot about the quality in Pulps music.

 It intrigues me what an ENTIRELY new Pulp track would sound like. I mean, would it be as good as the re-recording of After You? It'd be interesting to find out for sure.

 Does anyone else have an opinion on what the correct lyric is here? It does sound a bit like what Fred wrote, but does that make sense?

 What Fred suggested is definitely the lyric in my opinion.

I think it might suggest a bit of sexual frustration.

Just returned from three weeks' holiday in the wilds of south-west China and have only just been able to hear this. What can I say? Great song, great production, what a treat!

I can't stop listening to it, it's so good. I'm praying that they do some more, everything about that song is class. Maybe they are testing the water to see what the reaction to it is

Well the word from Nick is, as I suspected, it was just a one-off to thank the fans that went to the Sheffield gig

So they go to the length of getting a producer for the sakes of one song ? I dont think so.

Well they knew they would be seeing him on the cruise, so a day or two with them all in a studio beforehand, and then tidying it up on the high seas, why not? Murphy's got a lot of things on the go, apparently doing the next Arcade Fire record and so on, so a short, fun project might have suited all parties.
