Pulp: Help The Aged (Island)
It's been 18 months since Jarvis Cocker's last bulletin from the frontlines of ordinary English life, and this new tune has all the kitchen floor epic qualities of Common People combined with the flock wallpaper wit of Disco 2000.
Posing as a creaky, arthritic ballad, Help The Aged tears through the petty concerns of life like a milk truck crashing into a bingo hall.
