About This Track
'Dishes' by Pulp is a Rock track on the album 'This Is Hardcore', released in 1998. The lyrics cast a speaker who insists, with wry self-knowledge, that they are no saviour, then slips into domestic ordinariness, “the man who stays home and does the dishes”, while checking in on someone else’s troubles. There is also a warning about a number, followed by a line about surviving a difficult period and getting through it anyway, even as resolve starts to thin.
"Dishes" is a track by Pulp, from the album This Is Hardcore, released 18th March 1998. The track is 3:30 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Pulp.

Pulp, Suede, Elbow, Goldie, Paris Paloma and more feature in National Album Day’s biggest release slate yet.

At Worthy Farm, a “secret set” can mean anything from a publicly timed acoustic performance to an alias that only technically keeps the surprise intact.

Pulp and Arctic Monkeys turn class, desire and embarrassment into sharply observed songs, with Sheffield as a location rather than a shorthand.
Florian Habicht’s Sheffield film and Garth Jennings’ forthcoming MUBI feature catch Pulp at distinct moments of return, shaped by different settings, scale and histories.

Three Glastonbury 2025 sets showed different ways to introduce an album’s next chapter without leaving the songs that built the crowd behind.

Their Saturday night headline set on the festival's 20th edition included the first ever live performance of 'Deep Fried In Kelvin'.
