intro: F  Fsus4  B  Bsus4
              
               F
Well we were born within an hour of each other

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
                Bb
Your name is deborah.  Deborah, it never suited you
          F
And they said that when we grew up 

We'd get married and never split up
           Bb
We never did, although i often thought of it

                     Cm
Oh deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small

With woodchips on the wall
                          Cm2
And when i came round to call

You didnt notice me at all . . . . 

              Bb                
And i said, lets all meet up in the year 2000
Dm                                        Gm
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
                            Cm               F
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
Bb
I never knew that you'd get married 
Dm                                 Gm
I would be living down here on my own   
                          Cm            F
On that damp and lonely thursday years ago


(chords as verse1)

you were the first girl in school to get breasts
Martin said that you were the best
the boys all loved you, but i was a mess
i had to watch them try to get you undressed
We were freinds that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing to you
cos you were, oh so popular

BRIDGE, CHORUS (x2)

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Cohen Wanna Be	#1 by Cohen B at Apr 8, 1970 at 1:22 PM EST
	Don't live in the past.

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#2 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Sep 28, 1971 at 11:18 AM EST
	This is one of thier best songs and should get played on the radio more. No offence to common people but it's the only song by Pulp played.

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#3 by Chris Marcoux at Apr 14, 1972 at 2:00 AM EST
	This song is sort of sad. It strikes me as sort of pathetic on the singer's part. Like, not pathetic, but, just sad I guess. Every time he says Deborah I always think of Deborah Harry (Blondie), but that couldn't be right. Be pretty cool though.

No Picture ryan Lead Player	#4 by ryan harney at Oct 13, 1973 at 7:37 PM EST
	agree with xrachiex COMPLETELY. I remember how far away the year 2000 felt like when the song came out... ;-)

No Picture Adrian Lead Player	#5 by Adrian Ortega at Oct 29, 1973 at 1:35 PM EST
	This was my favourite song of '96. Pulp deserves recognition, which they seem to lack a hell of a lot.

No Picture Anthony Average	#6 by Anthony Pardee at Apr 6, 1976 at 12:07 PM EST
	it's about making plans. but thru the years lives change, plans break and childhood friends get knocked up.

No Picture Matthew Average	#7 by Matthew Spencer at Nov 23, 1981 at 4:44 PM EST
	Yea, it does feel weird listening to it in 2006. All the plans in the past faded away by the years... poor Jarvis. Deborah what a bitch, he loved her so and she went off and got married and had a baby to stab the last knife in the back.

No Picture kewl Wanna Be	#8 by kewl dude at Apr 3, 1982 at 1:29 PM EST
	I wonder if Deborah and Jarvis met at the fountain. I always wonder if this song cpntained a message to a friend that he lost touch with and wanted to see. I don't consider this song sad at all, except that it has been so long since he's seen his friend.

No Picture Conar Wanna Be	#9 by Conar Gillard at Jun 17, 1984 at 8:03 PM EST
	i think the last verse is him just wanting to meet this childhood friend/crush again, and see what she's like now, not to hook up necessarily, but more to just catch up.

No Picture Rosa Wanna Be	#10 by Rosa Beauchamp at Nov 25, 1986 at 8:46 AM EST
	This song is completely crushing, it's the classic story of how two people were so close together, but when the time to make plans and decisions in their lives (popularity, dating), they went in opposite directions. Later, though they come to talk to each other occasionally: "I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant Oh, it meant nothing to you, cause you were so, popular " Later he talks to her again, and they agree to make a pact to meet up in the year 2000 at "2 o'clock, by fountain down the road". Sadly, she's gotten married, and had a baby, without ever realizing his unrequited love for her. It could have been him with her, but fate had different plans, leaving him to probable bachelordom for the rest of his life do to his sadness and yearning for Deborah. The song never states it, but the reference to the baby and "what're you doin' Sunday baby" may mean that Deborah and her husband have split, and that a new beginning might hstart between the two. Or at least that's what I like to think. :)

No Picture zoe Wanna Be	#11 by zoe cherrie at Dec 6, 1988 at 2:10 PM EST
	disco 2000 is up there with the few most beautiful and saddest songs i have ever heard - it makes me cry, with the lyrics and then the meaning added on to it - it's all so sad.

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#12 by Austin at Sep 6, 1989 at 2:52 PM EST
	deborah sounds like a right asshat

No Picture Thomas Average	#13 by Thomas Reuter at Sep 12, 1994 at 7:13 AM EST
	Sad indeed. I especially find touching the implication that while once upon a time he was obsessed with her and had childish fantasies about marrying her, etc., in adulthood he's mellowed and is so nostalgic, and perhaps his life is so empty now, that it would blow his mind just to see her for an hour over tea.

No Picture Jordan Lead Player	#14 by Jordan Gadsby at Jul 24, 1995 at 4:56 PM EST
	i agree with the post of Cameron Butler. In my opinion is sad, but in the end it appears like a tiny little posibility that thinks may happen... great song...

No Picture Ryan Average	#15 by Ryan Jones at Oct 17, 1997 at 1:30 AM EST
	Kinda weird listening to this song in the year 2006...

No Picture Average	#16 by KitCat at Apr 25, 1999 at 5:33 AM EST
	Pulp is one of the best bands ever. They just happen to be in their prime as that god forsaken, ridiculously over-saturated crap called 'grunge' monopolized radio. Anyways, my favorite track from Different Class and is indeed better than 'common people'.

No Picture $~Andrew~$ Average	#17 by $~Andrew~$ at Nov 7, 1999 at 7:32 AM EST
	I find this song soo sad ;( I am dying while listening to this song =( I kinda live in a same story.. friend of a girl that is totaly not intrested in me =/ Altrhrough the ending of it makes some.. like un-depressing revealing.... it still hurts. /emo

No Picture Chuck Average	#18 by Chuck Norris at Jun 18, 2000 at 11:29 PM EST
	makes me feel so depressed...i would rather die if something like this ever happened to me.. is like he loved her so much, but she was so stupid and never realized...but i kind of think that she doesn't really lover her husband because she is going out with jarvis haha..

No Picture zach Wanna Be	#19 by zach miles at May 6, 2001 at 5:34 PM EST
	i dont fink that pulp get the recognition that they need because they are such a gud band. Its like some ppl are only interested in the music thats popluar at the moment and thats a bit stupid as there is loads of great music that is older. This song is so good its about someone that has loved someone all there life and then they are just ignored. Its so sad- if anyone has seen pretty in pink its a bit like that when duckie fancies that girl and she goes out with someone else. Anyways- bloody gud song!

No Picture Dakota Lead Player	#20 by Dakota Sparks at Jul 23, 2001 at 9:11 AM EST
	Minor note, my older sister has a friend named deborah, and although there wasn't the same dynamic, I still had a prepubescent crush on her. Funny? Weird? Stuck in a strange limbo inbetween the two?

No Picture Lyssa CHAOS Average	#21 by Lyssa CHAOS at May 19, 2004 at 1:51 PM EST
	if i was deborah, i would be kicking myself to death to have passed up a chance to be with jarvis cocker.

No Picture john Average	#22 by john at Jun 12, 2004 at 5:13 AM EST
	Yet again, Pulp capture perfectly life in lower-middle class Britain. Sublime lyrics. Pulp's songs that deal with love tend to be fantastic, as they take a completely novel and realistic approach to it, while at the same time having an irresistable romantic (in the literal sense of the word) appeal.

No Picture ryan Average	#23 by ryan oh at Apr 4, 2006 at 8:18 AM EST
	ok this song is ace but i would like to say that there should be three more oooh's on the end.

No Picture Cohen Wanna Be	#24 by Cohen B at Aug 16, 2006 at 12:20 PM EST
	Yes, this song IS sad! Yeah, you're right, it's about a girl he's known all his life blah blah. 10 out of 10.

No Picture metal-cat Average	#25 by metal-cat stepheria at Oct 16, 2007 at 11:19 PM EST
	Sad indeed.
