About This Track
'Sylvia' by Pulp is a rock track from 'This Is Hardcore', released in 1998. The lyrics revolve around a narrator fixing on a woman named Sylvia, comparing their looks and recalling how she used to be. Over time, the song shifts into an account of who her father is living with, the younger woman involved, and the idea that Sylvia has moved to the country, still present in rumour even if she is not seen directly. One line sums up the obsession with resemblance, “You look just like Sylvia”.
"Sylvia" is a track by Pulp, from the album This Is Hardcore, released 18th March 1998. The track is 5:44 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Pulp.

It is, in short, exactly what a Pulp album should be.
There’s simply no escaping the nostalgia of Pulp’s second reunion tour. Their original run as a band saw the Jarvis Cocker-led group struggle for recognition for over a decade before 1992’s ‘His N Hers’ tapped into the bubbling Britpop scene that was sweeping the country, eventually turning the Sheffield mob into superstars. A string of other giddy successes followed before Pulp rebelled with 1998’s earnest, eerie ‘This Is Hardcore’. They went on to break up shortly after the turn of the millennium. A brief reunion tour featuring a headline set at Reading & Leeds Festivals alongside a surprise Glastonbury performance followed in 2011, allowing the group to reclaim their legacy as one of that era’s greatest groups before they disbanded once again.
