Pulp - A Little Soul Lyrics






Hey man,
how come you treat your woman so bad?
That's not the way you do it. No, no, no..
you shouldn't do it like that.
I could show you how to do it right.
I used to practice every night on my wife now she's gone. Yeah, she's gone.

You see your mother and me
we never got along that way you see.
I'd love to help you but everybody's telling me you look like me
but please don't turn out like me.
You look like me
but you're not like me I know.
I had one, two, three, four shots of happiness.
I look like a big man but I've only got a little soul.
I only got a little soul.

Yeah, I wish I could be an example.
Wish I could say I stood up for you and
fought for what was right. But I never did.
I just wore my trenchcoat and stayed out every single night.
You think I'm joking? Well, try me. Yeah, try me. Yeah come on, try me tonight.
I did what was wrong though I knew what was right.
I've got no wisdom that I want to pass on. Just don't hang 'round here, no,
I'm telling you son. You don't wanna know me.
Oh, that's just what everybody's telling me.

& everybody's telling me you look like me but please don't turn into me.
You look like me but you're not like me I hope.
I have run away from the one thing that I ever made.
Now I only wish that I could show you - wish I could show a little soul.
Wish I could show a little soul. [x3]

Pulp A Little Soul Comments
  1. D.... ....

    Obviously influenced by 'tracks of my tears'. Love pulp

  2. P.... C....

    Those kids are like 30 now

  3. e.... ....

    I saw Jarvis on an interview say the original idea for this video was the adults were wasted on drink and drugs, and the kids were propping them up, but they decided that was a bit too raw, so they just acted like they were tired, or lazy. And that's the real sadness isn't it, that this goes on in real life, there are kids with proper deadbeat parents, but we're too afraid to show the truth.

  4. C.... L....

    What a loser. I see them in the playground - yuppie$- every day

    C.... L....

    Also one of my fave Songz

  5. D.... B....

    Kid Loco remix is better

    D.... B....

    Dookie Craptast re-re-remix is even better than Kidd Locust remix.

    D.... B....

    @Tommy LaKindaSorta yeah but that's so fast only bats and dogs can hear it

    D.... B....

    @Dan B I was wondering why my master didn't respond when I turned it up. I was like, "This is good, right? Give me a Snausage!" And the bastard didn't even take his eyes off the TV.

  6. J.... I....

    This song is about his dad, right?

  7. b.... f....

    This sounds weird but I feel like the dad and the son : /

  8. C.... P....

    such a beautiful song

  9. D.... B....

    This goes to my daughter... love you.

  10. E.... M....

    I did what was wrong though I knew what was right. Genious.

  11. A.... G....

    Nadal kocham i co ?

  13. K.... M....

    Beautiful, incredible and moving song.

  14. D.... D....

    probably their best song

  15. R.... M....

    And to think this stalled outside the top 20 Commercial decline was sinking in by this point sadly . Should have been as big of as a hit as Common People.

  16. m.... ....

    you look like me but you´re not me

  17. m.... 1....

    Brilliant song

  18. M.... ....

    That guitar riff at 2:22 is so great

  19. A.... D....

    Wonderful

  20. T.... F....

    this song helps me to be better father to my children.

    T.... F....

    Helps me try, at least.

  21. F.... ....

    This has a "Lost for words" by Pink Floyd vibe. It's really sad but pleasant.

  22. R.... V....

    Yes, yes, yes... 🎼

  23. R.... ....

    This could be a Lou Reed song.

    R.... ....

    indeed, from the New York album

    R.... ....

    new sensations

  24. A.... D....

    mr sainsburys

  25. G.... ....

    jarvis cocker is genius

  26. E.... M....

    A masterpiece.

  27. E.... ....

    My fav song from them. Many blurred memories

  28. h.... ....

    Wow. What a sad, beautiful song.

  29. A.... J....

    This is one of the best songs ever written,

  30. S.... A....

    There's something really special about this song. Definitely one of Pulp's best.

  31. V.... R....

    i am crying......

  32. W.... ....

    讓人聽了好感動 :'(
    好喜歡 <3

  33. C.... ....

    I used to practice every night on my dog, now it's gone.

    Yeah it's gone.

  34. F.... G....

    I feel like crying, that song was really touching

    F.... G....

    this song speaks to the heart

    F.... G....

    ^^
    it's an exemplary 'heads up' at worst

  35. 8.... ....

    JC... keep it all safe and yummy with my love for you MR JC and family

  36. R.... M....

    Tears rolling. Sweet Jarv.

  37. n.... ....

    j.... e....

    @phpableras thanks i like it now. 

  40. f.... R....

    Am I the only one to think it's sounds like a Dire Straits song? Nothing negative about that, i love that song.

    f.... R....

    Dire Straits? 😳

    f.... R....

    Yeh I see where you're coming from, for a nanosecond the slide guitar sounds a bit like the one on So Far Away, it's the similar sort of vibe from the Brothers in Arms album. But Pulp have really brilliant percussion, Dire Straits has horrible 80s whack a mole snare drums.

    f.... R....

    i think its a cross between tracks of my tears and romeo and juliet

  41. m.... ....

    俺だって弱虫だし、チキンハートだし…。ね(笑
    pulpはいい歌歌うなあ…

  42. C.... G....

    This is a really remarkable song. Jarvis is a little great genius, I do love him <3<3<3

  43. m.... ....

    forever

  44. v.... F....

    their songs are describing reality... love them until now...

  45. H.... ....

    James Bond sucks. He sucks Heineken.

  46. T.... M....

    AYER PASARON POR BUENIOS AIRES Y LA ROMPIERON

  47. T.... M....

    the chorus reminds of Free Falling, by Tom Petty

  48. M.... H....

    how can this song or this band grow on you? jarvis is a god and this song is amazing. no room for growers, you only need to listen and get it

  49. A.... R....

    It's not just you. Only really cool people understand the brilliance of this album.

  50. M.... T....

    one of THE.....I got this album in my vinyl collection for nearly 10 years and only recently discovered the pure intense beauty of songs like these.....

  51. M.... T....

    2:20 pure musical bliss.....

  52. N.... K....

    2:17 Jarvis's face is so cute ^^ The song is amazing !

  53. L.... ....

    Yes, for me too

  54. i.... �....

    это торт, отличнейше

  55. A.... ....

    It's not just you. This Is Hardcaore is by far one of the most honest albums ever made about depression. The only down side is that I relate to it too much.

  56. Z.... ....

    Is it me or is this one of the most underrated albums of all time?

  57. A.... ....

    the guitar bit that starts at 2:22 really tops the song proper.

  58. i.... ....

    Bienvenidos a México!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. S.... V....

    good song !

  60. M.... M....

    I like claps on refrain ;-)

  62. l.... ....

  63. J.... S....

    Great song but ever notice how this sounds similar to Smokey and the Miracles "Tracks of My Tears"

  64. M.... W....

  65. L.... ....

    Jarvis <333

  67. j.... ....

  68. e.... ....

    dedicato a qul fanciullino che è in ciascuno di noi che fa di un cadavere semovente un essere umano, talvolta anche felice

  69. r.... ....
