You look just like Sylvia
Well you look like her to me
The way she wore her hair then
Oh, the way she used to be

    Takes me back. To 1998, I think.

    Who's this man you're talking to? Can't you see what he wants to do? He thinks if he stands near enough Then he will look as good as you And he don't care about your problems He just wants to show his friends

    Is Sylvia such an uncommon name over here? In Austria every 3rd girl is called Sylvia.

    My first impression was certainly, "Oh, that could be about Plath", ... but that's because the name Sylvia always seems to make me think of her. [2]

    Her beauty was her only crime... Yeah, I remember Sylvia.

    dangerously close to a power ballad, but jarvis makes it so much better than that.

    If you just put the obvious singles from the album aside (Help the Aged & This is Hardcore), Sylvia is probably the strongest song on the album. The guitar solo is exquisite

    Great song. If the solo were about eight times longer, it'd probably make me ejaculate.

    Could this be about Sylvia Plath? I wouldn't put it past Jarvis to make such a random literary reference. The lyrics just make me think of her life...pretentious, moi? Not at all :-P
