“Help the Aged” is a song by British alternative rock band Pulp, and was released on 11 November 1997 as the lead single from their 1998 album This Is Hardcore. The single charted at no. 8 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1997 in British music), becoming the band’s fifth consecutive top ten single.

B-side “Tomorrow Never Lies” was intended to be used as the theme to the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The song was ultimately rejected in favour of a song by Sheryl Crow, and was renamed after the film’s working title. The original version of the song, with the name “Tomorrow Never Dies”, is featured on LP version of the album, even though it is listed as “Tomorrow Never Lies”. It surfaced on the bonus disc of the This Is Hardcore special edition in 2006.

During Da Ali G Show, Jarvis Cocker performed the song, which soon transitioned into a distinctly more urban take on things, added by Ali G, with lines such as “help the motherfuckin’ aged”.

All tracks are written by Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey and Mark Webber.

PULP: Help the Aged CD Single

Help the aged,
One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don’t just put them in a home
Can’t have much fun when they’re all on their own
Give a hand, if you can
Try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort
‘Cause they’re running out of time
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal, so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It’s time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff, although he’s looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Help the aged
‘Cause one day you’ll be older too
You might need someone who can pull you through
And if you look very hard
Behind those lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it’s such a lonely place, oh
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realize?
It’s time you took an older lover baby
Teach you stuff although he’s looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
You can dye your hair but it’s the one thing you can’t change
Can’t run away from yourself, yourself, yours-s-s-s-self
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal, so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realize?
It’s time you took an older lover, baby
Teach you stuff, although he’s looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Oh, it’s funny how it all falls away
Funny how it all falls away
Oh, it’s funny how it all, how it all falls away
So help the aged
