Call me a Debbie Downer but unless they do something really radical with them, I could quite happily go to my grave never hearing Babies, Sorted or Something Changed ever again. Good songs obviously, but man they've been done to death. I guess I saw them at too many near-identical festival/outdoor gigs from 2000-2002...

My ideal setlist would be one where they surprise me!

Songs that I'd bin.....*get ready for some controversy *


Sorted For Ez and Wizz
Misshapes
Common People (gasp !)


THE SETLIST

Disco 2000 ( with the motiv 8 intro )
DYRTFT
Pink Glove
Pencil Skirt
Something Changed
Babies
Happy Endings
Razzmatazz
Minnie Timperley
Bad Cover Version
Underwear
This Is Hardcore
Sunrise
--------------------------------
Like A Friend
OU
Death Comes To Town
---------------------------------
Little Girl With Blue Eyes
Wickerman
Cuckoo

I've never liked This Is Hardcore the song very much (and it takes up too much of the set), and I think Sunrise is mildly overrated by fans, so i'd take those two out and put in Bad Cover Version, Birds In Your Garden and Sylvia.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get to hear a couple of new pulp songs!

 An EP with a couple of brand new ones and a couple of 1999/2000 songs re-recorded would be lovely.

As for songs I'd want, I couldn't really fit it in a list, but I'd die to hear any of these:
Don't You Want Me Anymore
Happy Endings
O.U.
Sheffield Sex City
My Legendary Girlfriend
She's a Lady

There's a chance for the last two now that Jarvis seemed to like playing them on his own :)

Lipgloss should be a staple song. Such a shame that they barely played it after '95.

It's A Dirty World is my favourite Pulp song never properly released/played live. That would be mega.

Still think it should have been their comeback in 1997 with an edited single version.

Re Lipgloss, I think they've said before that they found it difficult to pull-off live.

Yep, that's how it was played by a DJ when I requested it at a Pulp night at Highbury Garage or somewhere similar a few years back 

Some great shouts in this thread - It's A Dirty World and Cuckoo Song would be fantastic!

Now, here's one that might divide the room somewhat - I would love them to chuck in a one-off performance of the infamous Crabs. With it being mentioned in Good Pop, Bad Pop and it being Pulp's 45th anniversary year, I think it'd be fun for them to throw it in (perhaps if they do a gig for the 'Save The Leadmill' campaign?) - a sort of 'please indulge us' moment akin to when they did Back in LA perhaps? Admittedly, it would be taking up valuable 'real estate' in the setlist, but I'd love to see it once - it'd be a hoot!

Oops, I forgot "Live Bed Show" as per V96:

The Fear
Deep Fried in Kelvin
Party Hard
After You
