Official PULP Tablature & Sheet Music »
****************ABORIGINE*******************
PULP
Ah, the memories of Pulp in 1986 when they did agressive
avant garde rock and listened to the Velvet Underground.
Anyway, here we go........
*CHORDS*(EADGBe)
C 335553
Bb 113331
Ab 466544
X-Palm mute
INTRO.
(This should be mostly correct).
Russell playing a bowed double bass for a bit, then the bass
in with
A-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
E------------------
for a bit.
*VERSE*
Lyrics start, still no guitar, but the implied
chords are
C
Starts so slowly just a place to stay
Somewhere warm for them to spend their days
Bb C
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean
Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene
Ab
Something's happened and it's not so good
Broken bottles in the face of love
c -*Guitar creeps in quietly here*
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip light
Bb C
Nylon sheets to keep him warm at night
Once it started it could never stop
Bb c
Fills his head with a dark damp fog
Ab
In the distance is a constant cry
Growing louder as the years go by
C
Days get longer and he starts to drink
Bb C
Spews his stomach in the kitchen sink
Tells his children they should have respect
Bb C
Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck
Ab
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
*BREAK*
Listen to the record for the timing!

Repeat a few times. Keep this rhythm for the rest of the song.
The rest of it is structed in the same way, so that's basically it.
Here are the rest of the lyrics. N.B Please do not read the lyrics
whilst listening to the recordings.
Can't be bothered when it's all the same
Leave it long enough it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
Tries to tell him what he can't have back
She's only jealous and she's telling lies
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
Took him years to get into bed
Now he's got her he just wants her dead
She wants excitement and she needs romance
All she gets are dirty underpants
Stupid animal that can't know why
Something's wrong so someone has to die
The wind is blowing and the rain pours down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows it's finished but he can't stop now
And he wants to end it but he can't see how
And it's all in pieces, thrown it all away
Oh but he's not ugly he just looks that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs it now
But the scream he started's getting far to loud
He still pretends he does it just for now
His day will come, he'll loose it all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
Been dead 10 years but he's still alive
And the time is wasted and boat has sunk
But he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk
He's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps falling down
It's hard to know he doesn't count for much
He's not a has-been, just a never-was
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Hates his wife
And he hates them all

The Archetypal Loom.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PULP tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
