From the outset, I thought of Pulp’s music in literary terms, with its references to “lemonade light filtering through the trees”  and “the puddles of rain that reflected your face in my eyes”, and, as  the best art does, it changed the way I watched the world and the  vocabulary with which I thought about it. From the lyrics, and from the  biography I gleaned from press interviews, I thought I’d found a kindred  spirit: a speccy so-and-so who knew what it meant to wear the wrong  clothes and listen to the wrong music and be caught in the school  library reading the dictionary.
