Jarvis e Deborah erano nati ad un’ora sola di differenza l’uno dall’altra ed erano tanto amici.Certo a Jarvis sarebbe piaciuto tanto andare oltre e magari dare un bacio a Deborah che era tra le ragazze più belle della scuola.Erano piccoli Jarvis e Deborah e sarebbero diventati grandi entrambi raggiungendo i propri traguardi ognuno nel suo campo.
Jarvis Cocker leader dei Pulp dedica uno dei successi a questa storia mai nata con Deborah Bone sua compagna di scuola e amica di famiglia.Una famiglia quella di Cocker che aveva già progettato il matrimonio futuro di Deborah e Jarvis in un futuro che invece ha riservato tante sorprese positive e negative ai due ragazzi di Sheffield.
Jarvis diventa il leader della Indie Band per eccellenza, i Pulp, mentre Deborah era diventata una professionista nel campo della salute mentale vincendo diversi riconoscimenti.Deborah Bone fu portata via da un cancro il 30 Dicembre 2014 esattamente 20 anni dopo la pubblicazione di Disco 2000 singolo che Jarvis Cocker le aveva esplicitamente dedicato.
La canzone che rappresenta la vera essenza musicale dei Pulp è un vero e proprio trionfo e Cocker nel 2013 la cantò anche al 50° compleanno della Bone, che nel frattempo si era sposata proprio come cita il testo della canzone.
Testo
Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, Deborah.
It never suited ya.
Oh they thought that when we grew up,
We’d get married, and never split up.
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 around to call,
You didn’t notice me at all.
I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown.
Be there at 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.
Martyn said that yours were the best.
The boys all loved you but I was a mess.
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.
We were friends but that was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,
Oh it meant nothing to you,
Cos you were so popular.
Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With woodchip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
You didn’t notice me at all.
I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown.
Be there at 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 yeah,
Oh yeah.
Ah do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With wood chip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
You didn’t notice me at all.
I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown.
Be there at 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.
Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
What are you doing Sunday baby.
Would you like to come and meet me maby?
You can even bring your baby.
Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh
