In case you didn’t make it out to the In The City festival in Manchester, where the ever-dapper Jarvis Cocker gave a talk on song lyrics called “Saying The Unsayable” earlier this week, a Pulp fan site has helpfully put up notes on the lecture (from when he gave it in May); they’re annotated with YouTube clips. The crux of the talk, which he helpfully illustrates with the scandalizing lyrics to “Louie Louie”: “My core argument is that lyrics don’t really matter–they’re an optional extra, much like a sunroof or a patio. But when music and lyrics work together they’re better than the sum of parts. But that’s not all there is to it.” [Acrylic Afternoons]
