Hey! Here are the lyrics that I thought I heard…

Friday afternoon in Boston town and
Still know my way around and
tryin’ to find a rehearsal spot for
The reunion of the Kids on the Block

Gonna rip it like we used to do
good to be back too with the crew
Don’t know how its gonna be
but last time we made history so

Tell your mama and your sister too
New Kids are coming back for you!
In my heart I knew you’d never forget,
To see you again like this makes me feel like
I’ll never be alone

Wherever it is I’m going to
Whatever I am is because of you
And I thank you and I thank you
Five Brothers and a Million Sisters
I didn’t know how much I missed you
Thank you and I thank you

On my way back to Beverly Hills
Call it what you want but I call it love
Some people say we couldn’t do it again
but the New Kids had the last word in the end

Doing it like we thought we could do (still not sure about this one)
See what happens when you just believe
The whole world opens up her arms
everything is easy that used to be hard

So tell your momma that I love her too
Don’t you know we did it all for you
In my heart I’d knew you’d never forget
To see you again like this makes me feel like
I’ll never be alone

Wherever it is I’m going to
Whatever I am is because of you
And I thank you and I thank you
Five Brothers and a Million Sisters
Didn’t know how much I missed you
thank you and I thank you

You pick me up and you make me high
When I feel your love
I wanna fly I want to fly I wanna fly

And I thank you and I thank you

Wherever it is
Whatever I am
It’s all, it’s all because of You!

5 brothers and a Million sisters
Didn’t know how much I missed you
Didn’t know yeah!
Didn’t know yeah!
Didn’t know!

You pick me up you get me high
When I feel your love I wanna fly
Know matter what ya going through

You pick me up you get me high
When I feel your love I wanna fly
Know matter what ya going through
There ain’t nothing we can’t do.

and I thank you and I thank you!

and I thank you and I thank you!

Soundtrack of my life: Jarvis Cocker

The first song I heard
Where do you go to (my lovely), Peter Sarstedt (1969)

I’m interested in the way songs stick with you and mean different things at different times. When I was four or five this really scared me because of the line “I can look inside your head”. Years later, I was in Amsterdam and declaiming the song to my then-girlfriend, and I almost had a citizen’s arrest put on me by passers-by who objected to my rendition. Then recently I was watching an awful Piers Morgan programme about Monte Carlo, and I was reminded of the song again as it describes a poor girl from Naples joining the jet-set.

My first love affair
Burning up, Madonna (1983)

I started going out with this girl when I was 21 – I was a late developer – and she wasn’t really bothered about music. She had three records: Madonna’s first album, Parade by Prince and, weirdly, Howard Devoto’s solo album. At the time I would never have listened to Madonna, being Mr Alternative, but being limited by my girlfriend’s musical choices I found myself hearing this track a lot, and ultimately really liking it. It educated me about my latent musical snobbishness. Hearing it now reminds me of a happy period.

The song that reminds me of art school
French Kiss, Lil Louis (1989)

It’s the end of the 80s and the beginning of my raving days, and this track encapsulates that time. If you described it to someone it would be nudge nudge, wink wink because it features a woman faking an orgasm, but it’s revolutionary. It features one riff that goes on and on, and when you’re at one of those parties and you might have partaken of a substance it makes perfect sense. It exists in its own space-time continuum and certainly isn’t a song in a normal sense: more a stimulus for dancing based around a simulated orgasm.

The song that reminds me of my son
Milk and alcohol, Dr Feelgood (1978)

It’s unfortunate that I associate this with my five-year-old, and it certainly doesn’t mean I’ve been using alcohol to pacify him. I’d look at the most played list on iTunes – it’s interesting because you create your own charts that way – and I was surprised that this was in the top five. Then I realised: my son had learned to use my computer and he kept playing Milk and Alcohol. The composer Raymond Scott made great electronic music for kids, but that gets taken off as soon as I put it on. Why my son likes Dr Feelgood so much, I don’t know.

The last song I heard
The whole world’s got the eyes on you, Legendary Tigerman (2008)

It’s important to be looking for new things, to stay interested. I was wandering around Paris recently when I went into a new record shop and they were playing this. Legendary Tigerman appears to be a guy from Portugal without the greatest grip of English, if you go by the title. This song sounds a bit like Alan Vega from Suicide when he went solo – minimal rockabilly made by a guy with a guitar and a drum machine. Tigerman’s got a highly designed website, and he likes pictures of himself with naked or semi-naked women.

Strange and possibly true

1 Cocker’s mother maintains that gravel-voiced singer Joe Cocker – no relation – fitted the fire for her first flat in Sheffield in the early 60s.

2 The first song Cocker ever wrote, Shakespeare Rock, features the line: “Said baby you make me sick / She said Alas, poor Yorick.”

3 His biggest hit with Pulp, Common People, was based on the story of a fellow pupil at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, who could have been on any fine art course but “sculpture” sounded better.

4 Playing with the pegs of a toy guitar, Cocker’s son created an unusual tuning that he then used as the basis for two songs on his 2006 debut solo album.

5 His second solo album, due to be released in May, has been produced by former Big Black and Rapeman frontman Steve Albini.
