I liked this one. I've heard of Cake, but didn't know what they sing. This was good.

Velvet Revolver - Slither

We do this live and it's one of my favs to play. I play it pretty much on one string and fly around on the neck, make it real showy.

This is a live performance by Pulp. The lyrics are easier to get on the produced version but the electricity of Cocker's performance comes through better on live. This is I think a later performance because the violin seems to have been replaced by a guitar, but the only early concerts I could find were at glastonbury and the sound quality is always a bit dodgy on the glastonbury sets.

Here goes:





[eta] bah....didn't work. try again


[eta] yey!


[another edit...just in case you can't make out the lyrics past the Sheffield accent: here they are :P

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
that's where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you."

Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people etc...

ok...that's a bad song. and what's more...it's a horrible version of it. if it had been tolerable to listen to, i may have left it....but the sound quality was so godawful....it has to go. sorry dana.
