Críticas:

'Honest, witty, grubby, angry narratives that find beauty in unexpected places.' --Sunday Telegraph

'Brilliantly observed lyrics... The key to pop-star longevity is not only continued productivity but also maintaining dignity... Mother, Brother, Lover is certainly dignified. It offers glimpses into the life and thoughts of a man who, for the most part, has written from a place of truth.' --Will Hodgkingson, The Times

'Being taken on by such a fabled publishing house is akin to finding the holy grail for poets, so for a humble songwriter to be admitted to this exclusive club is rare indeed ... You are reminded that he is more than just a good singer who made it cool to wear corduroy.' --Yorkshire Post

Reseña del editor:

Jarvis Cocker is widely regarded as one of the most original and memorable lyricists and performers of the last three decades. Here, for the first time, is a selection of sixty-six lyrics, presented with commentary and an introduction by the man himself. In this volume, readers (and Pulp fans) will find such classic Jarvis lyrics as 'Common People', 'Disco 2000', 'Babies', 'This is Hardcore' and 'Do You Remember the First Time?' The selection, assembled by the author, reveals a sensibility that is unmistakeably Jarvis: a sometimes visceral, sometimes everyday take on love, relationships and the things we do to each other when the lights get low. Mother, Brother, Lover takes the reader on a thirty-year tour into the life, art and preoccupations of one of the great British artists of the late twentieth century. Shocking, sharp, clever and funny, it is a beautiful collection of lyrics and commentary.
