disco 2000

95 çıkışlı different class albümünden güzel bir pulp şarkısı.
jarvis cocker'ın çocukluk arkadaşı deborah, ona ilgi duyması, bu konuda zorluk yaşaması ve 2000'de büyüdüklerinde yeniden buluşmaları hakkında. friendzone vakası diyebiliriz.
o Deborah da 2014 de vefat etmiş. Başarılı bir zihinsel sağlık hemşiresiymiş. Blogunda da dediğine göre o buluşma olmamış.

Şarkının klibi de sözlerle uyumsuz. Tam ekran değil de kare gibi. isviçre bayrağı misali.*
Sözleri de şöyle;

Oh, we were born within an hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah. Deborah.
It never suited you.

And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married and never split up.
Oh, we never did it,
Although often I thought of it.

Oh, Deborah, do you recall:
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall.
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all.

And I said, "Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own.
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago."

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
And Martin said that you were the best.
Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess.
I had to watch them try and get you undressed.

We were friends. That was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes, but it meant—
Oh, it meant nothing to you
'Cause you were so popular.

Deborah, do you recall:
Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall.
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all.

And I said, "Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own.
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago."

And now it's all over.
You've paid your money, you've taken your choice.
And I know we'll never meet again,
But, Deborah, I just wanted you to know:
I remember every single thing.

Oh, Deborah, do you recall:
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall.
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all.

And I said, "Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own.
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.

What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.
