Guido recomendó este tema porque “cuando salio el disco y me lo puse a escuchar (con ese miedo que tenemos todos cuando escuchamos el nuevo disco de un artista que nos gusta) llegue a esta canción y dije: bueno, aunque el resto del disco sea basura, con este tema me alcanza y me sobra”.

Jarvis Cocker es una estrella del britpop, conocido por ser el líder de la banda Pulp que saltó a la fama en los noventa con temas como His 'n' Hers (1994) y Different Class (1995). Este excéntrico personaje excede la música y es reconocido en toda Europa por ser un ingenioso observador participante de la escena cultural. Con un estilo que muchos comparan con Morrisey, Jarvis nos hace cantar canciones agrias y duras pero con una enorme sonrisa.

El disco de hoy, se trata del segundo trabajo en solitario y se compone de canciones con fuerte impronta pop como ‘Hold Still’o ‘I Never Said I Was Deep‘ y temas más rockeros como ‘Howerecker’ o ‘Caucasian Blues’.
En una entrevista declaró que 'I Never Said I was Deep' era la frase que quería grabar en su tumba. “Pues sí, la verdad, la segunda parte de la letra dice "but I Am profoundly shallow" (pero soy profundamente superficial) y creo que es verdad. Me intereso mucho por las cosas efímeras sin sentido.”

I love your body 'cause I've lost my mind
If you want someone to talk to, you're wasting your time
If you want someone to share your life, 
you need someone who is alive
And if every relationship is a two-way street, 
I have been screwing in the back whilst you drive



I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind,
you could be waiting forever
Forever and ever



I can dance you to the end of the night 'cause 
I'm afraid of the dark
I have to confess I'm out of my depth
You're going over my head and straight through my heart



Some girls like to play it dirty, 
some girls want to be your mum
Me, I disrespected you whilst 
we were waiting for the taxi to come
My morality is shabby, my behaviour unacceptable
No, I'm not looking for a relationship, 
just a willing receptacle



I never said I was
I never said I was
I never said I was



I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, 
you could be waiting forever
Forever and ever



I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow



I never said I was deep
