| I might be taking it too personal this time. This is about a girl that just wants to fuck up with your head. She knows you’re crazy about her and even though you know she only want to mess with you mind and you should walk away, you just can’t do it. “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” Lets get even more personal!! After you’ve told this girl that you want something serious and she has turned you down, you asked her to leave you alone. But she keeps coming back to…. who knows why the fuck she keeps coming back? “Don’t bother saying you’re sorry Why don’t you come in? Smoke all my cigarettes – again Every time I get no further How long has it been? Come on in now, WIPE YOUR FEET ON MY DREAMS” “Boourns” gets a lot of the points I wanted to make. Definitely one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite films and hopefully I can kick this habit soon. “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 till the end Let me tell you now, It's lucky for you that we're friends.” | |

| Unrequited love sums it up. If anybody has ever read the Charles Dickens book they would feel the emotion that is in this song. My personal feeling is that the song was written with the film in mind but inspired by the book. I did not really like the modern make over the film gave. Most people at some stage come across somebody they love dearly but for one reason or another the person wont return the love that is felt, becoming best friends but nothing more. This song sums it all up – “wipe your feet on my dreams”, all these things that are so bad for you but you’ve got to have and keep coming back for more like an addiction “and I’ll come running just to do it again” This has to be up there as one of the best Pulp songs. But the best Pulp song depends upon the mood I am in and how I feel. There are so many. And as for the band in concert well – saw them 4 times and every time thought they were absolutely amazing and the best live band I’ve ever seen. PS read great expectations! | |

| I've never read Great Expectations or seen the film, but this feeling is pretty universal. Someone you love goes away and comes back when they need you again or when they're done with whatever they went away to do, or someone who just takes advantage of you, and you have no choice but to welcome them back with open arms because you love them. I've certainly been there, and at times it's almost as if I welcome the abuse, I'll come running back to it, even though everyone tells me to stop because I love that person. It's lucky for him that we're friends. | |

| this song represents classic "tragic love", stronger in one person's heart than in the other's. this woman causes him so much pain but he's addicted to loving her although the love she returns is cruel "like a film that's so bad but i've got to stay 'til the end" | |

| one of my favourite choons by Pulp, i'm glad they included it on the album! it seems with all the narrator's been thru with this girl, he still loves her. i've said the line "It's lucky for you that we're friends." to a girlfriend before, just kidding. i believe this choon is not so much literal, but tongue-in-cheek. classic Pulp. | |

| Unrequited love is horrible, especially when it's for someone who is just a friend. Ever have someone you love ditch or flake out on you as a friend and then come back, and your love overrides common sense and you take them back, only to have them crush you again? Yeah, that's beyond horrible. But what's worse is when there's an element of exploitation. You love her, she's your world, but, alas, you're just friends...only not. She's only a friend because she needs your love, adoration, affection, attention, money, friendship, support, whatever. But if you need her she's not there. And when your services are no longer needed, she's gone forever. Despite all this, if she came back, you'd be dumb enough to let the cycle continue. Why not? There were probably warning signs at the beginning, but you ignored them, and you were dumb enough to put up with it before and you'll do it again. Yeah, I've been there a couple times, and this song perfectly articulates that. Funny thing is, the strange bird who got me into Pulp is one of them. | |

| Outside the context of this film, and more personally to Jarvis, I have always thought it was self-referential of the 20+ years that he has spent in Pulp and how it "takes up his time, like some cheap magazine"...Pulp...magazine...see? Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but this is what it has always meant to me. If it wasn't written for the film then I'd be tempted to believe that was it's original meaning, or if it was, maybe this was in the back of his mind anyway...? | |

| I love this song so much, I hate it. I've been there, so many times over the past few months. Some stupid guy acts like my friend one minute, like he's interested the next, and then pretends he doesn't know me. Great Expectations made me feel like I'd been punched in the stomach. I was like, "F.ck! I know exactly how you feel!" And then I went to this party to see him, but he's kind of a slightly younger man, and I felt so out of place and old at the party, and he snubbed me because he was like high out of his mind. "You are the party that makes me feel my age" was suddenly the most beautiful line ever written. I need to get a less lame life. LOL. | |

| "Come on and kill me baby, while you smile like a friend!" Love this song man, theres something a bit embarrassing about Pulp but I think Jarvis just cuts so deep with his lyrics, I think we all feel like this about our friends sometimes! | |
