Intro D/Dmaj7 Em/Em7 A/A6 X2
VERSE 1
D Em A
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
D Em A
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
C A D F#
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
C A D
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
Bm
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
Em G
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the
D
bitter taste of saccharine.
VERSE 2
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.
CHORUS
(Not really sure of the chord here probably G)
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that
D
got it so wrong
D Em
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them
could talk
A G
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days
D
of Southfork.
D Em
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"
A
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let
D
you down my friend.

| "The last days of Southfork" refers to the TV show Dallas. Southfork was the ranch the show was shot on. | |

| It's probably worth mentioning that Scott Walker produced the album that features this song; this is a typical Pulp in-joke. | |

| I think the video is brilliant. And while I can easily tell that some of the people are impresonators (including Jarvis himself), I honestly can't tell if some of them are the real thing (Elton John, Robbie Williams, Kylie, etc.) Does anyone know for sure? | |

| Brilliant way of explaining how impossible it is to feel happy about a new relationship if you're not over someone else... It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them could talk like the Stones since the Eighties like the last days of Southfork Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in" like an own-brand box of cornflakes he's going to let you down my friend | |

| * It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them could talk The cartoon series started letting them talk and it is generally accepted was never as good after that point (Jumped the shark) * like the Stones since the Eighties The Rolling Stone have not put out anything good since the end of the 1980s (or 1960s in many people's opinions) * like the last days of Southfork The famously bad end of TVs Dallas where The Devil confronted JR to try to get him to kill himself. * Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV As opposed to the movies which are pretty good. * the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in" The Scott Walker album which - vinyl fans - had a good first five tracks and a weak second five * like an own-brand box of cornflakes Kellogs famously so they never make Cornflakes for anyone else meaning that no other brand of Cornflakes will taste like a Kellogs box. | |
