Not much to this little book - basically Jarvis Cocker presents a selection of his song lyrics (some more well-known than others), writes a lengthy introduction and then selected notes about each one (the best bit, I thought). As he states in his intro, its just not the same without the music so its a bit of a slog reading through some of the less familiar material.
I've been listening to his stuff since Pulp's "A Different Class" back in 1996( I think!) so learning the background to the songs was very interesting...some turned out to have quite different origins than I had imagined.
