Help the Aged
Pulp Lyrics
Help the aged,
One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun when they're all on their own
Give a hand, if you can
Try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort
'Cause they're running out of time
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal, so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Help the aged
'Cause one day you'll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard
Behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonely place, oh
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover baby
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself, yourself, yours-s-s-s-self
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal, so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Oh, it's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
Oh, it's funny how it all, how it all falls away
So help the aged

Help the aged
One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun in there all on their own
Give a hand, if you can
Try and help them to unwind
Give them hope & give them comfort 'cause they're running out of time
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
Although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away

Behind the lines upon their face you may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonely place

No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
Although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
You can dye your hair
But it's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself, yourself
Yourself, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
Oh and when did you first realize?
It's time you took an older lover baby to teach you stuff
Although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
It's funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all, it all falls away
Help the aged

Letra en español:
Ayuda a los viejos...
...alguna vez fueron como Tú...
...bebiendo, fumando e inhalando pegamento.
Ayuda a los viejos...
...no los metas en un asilo.
No pueden divertirse mucho estando allí completamente solos.
Dales una mano, si puedes...
Trata de ayudarlos a relajarse
Dales esperanza y consuelo...
...pues se les está acabando el tiempo.
Mientras tanto nosotros imtentamos...
...intentamos olvidar que nada dura para siempre...
No es gran cosa...
...así que muestranos cómo nos hace sentir...
...es gracioso cómo todo se desvanece.
¿Cuándo te diste cuenta por primera vez?
Es hora de conseguirte un amante más viejo, nena...
...te enseñará cosas...
...aunque parezca áspero...
...es gracioso cómo todo se desvanece.
Ayuda a los viejos...
Pues algún día serás viejo también...
...podrías necesitar a "alguien" que te ayude a soportarlo.
Y si observas cuidadosamente tras esas líneas sobre sus rostros...
...podrías ver hacia dónde te diriges...
...y es un lugar muy solitario.
Mientras tanto intentamos...
...intentamos de olvidar que nada dura para siempre.
No es gran cosa...
...así que muestranos cómo nos hace sentir...
...es gracioso cómo se desvanece todo.
¿Cuándo te diste cuenta por primera vez?
Es hora de conseguirte un amante más viejo, nena
Te enseñará cosas...
...aunque parezca áspero...
...es gracioso cómo todo se desvanece.
Puedes teñir tu cabello, pero hay algo que no puedes cambiar...
...¡NO PUEDES HUIR DE TI MISMO!...
...de Ti mismo...
...de Ti mismo...
...de Ti mismo.
Mientras tanto intentamos...
...intentamos olvidar que nada dura para siempre...
No es gran cosa, a todos nos da el sentimiento...
...es gracioso cómo todo se desvanece.
¿Cuándo te diste cuenta por primera vez?
Es momento de conseguirte un amante más viejo, nena, te enseñará cosas...
...aunque parezca áspero...
...es gracioso cómo se desvanece todo...
Oh, es gracioso...
...cómo todo...
...todo se desvanece.
Así que, ayuda a los viejos.
The Original
Such a great songwriter always witty and cutting and never the slightest drop of pretention. Massively underrated.
Ak Wilson
@Brett Hackett He was a somewhat decent songwriter, but ran out of juice pretty quickly. The first two albums were all that he could offer, really. Decent tunes with gibberish lyrics.
Brett Hackett
@Ak Wilson Noel is a good songwriter, love him or hate him. You can like both, shockingly!
Also, Jarvis has the talent to back up his demeanor, but he can be just as cocky / smarmy in person as Noel is but in an "art school" kind of way rather than "talented kid from council estate" way.
Essentially the whole britpop "rivalries" are mostly about class. Pulp / Blur being middle class and Noel/Liam being working class.
Ak Wilson
And they praise Noel Gallagher's lyrics, when this genius exists. Ridiculous.
alison flynn
Genius!
TheTuneful
Such an underrated band.
Edward Chiang
since when Pulp is underrated. People like to use this word to make it feel cool. Pulp is considered one of the best band in britpop era whether it’s mainstream or indie listeners. They are definitely not underrated. They have been the main performer in any British major music festival. If you want to say underrated, James and Doves could be.

@wildmercuryfilms where's Holy Cross? North O?
Matt Gibbs
people bag on MTV, but they're the only reason I know who PULP is, found them on MTV/MTV2 in the late 90's in the US.
