Pulp – Like a Friend

Here’s another tune I discovered from the film PJ Ladd’s Wonderful Horrible Life.  As the video suggests, this Pulp song was also featured in the film Great ExpectationsGreat Expectations reviews.  I have not seen this film, and probably will maintain that status after watching the clips from this video.  However, I am going to add a linkLink reviews to where I originally heard this song knowing full well that 99% of the people reading this post have little interest in watching a skateboard video.  I highly reccomend checking it out as it will likely be the most ridiculous five minutes of your day today.

Don’t bother saying you’re sorry.
Why don’t you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes -- againe.
Every time I get no further.
How long has it been?
Come on in now,
Wipe your feet on my dreams.

You take up my time,
Like some cheap magazine,
When I could have been learning something.
Oh well, you know what I mean.

I’ve done this before.
And I will do it again.
Come on and kill me baby,
while you smile like a friend.
And I’ll come running,
Just to do it again.

You are the last drink I never should drunk.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can’t seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can’t avoid.
Like a plane I’ve been told I never should board.
Like a film that’s so bad but I’ve gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
It’s lucky for you that we’re friends.
