Jarvis Cocker To Deliver Lyrics Lecture

Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker will deliver a lecture on the importance of lyrics by musicians including Leonard Cohen and Amy Winehouse at an arts festival in May.

The 44-year-old will talk about the "function of the lyric in popular song" at the Brighton festival in England on May 23.

Cocker will also analyse his own lyrics as well as those by Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty at the Brighton Dome concert hall event.

The lecture will be entitled 'Jarvis Cocker on Song: Saying the Unsayable'.

Other talks at the festival will come from Mark E Smith and Alex James.
