They met at a Sheffield party, when Murphy had no prior professional singing experience. Meanwhile, Brydon had a thirteen-year musical résumé, first with Chakk / Hula pioneering EBM (then, aka big beat). Subsequently, within dance music, he formed and produced various pop and house acts, e.g. producing Krush's hit "House Arrest" (1987, FON) and his 1993 Cloud Nine project. Murphy approached Brydon with the chat-up line "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!", hence their debut album's title. Respectively, 'Moloko' originates from the Nadsat slang word for "milk" (from the Russian, молоко), in Anthony Burgess' novel "A Clockwork Orange".
Recorded while the pair were dating, Do You Like My Tight Sweater? gained notice on underground dance and trip-hop scenes, then more so with I Am Not a Doctor (Jul 1998, Echo). The latter yielded "Sing It Back", which broke Moloko into the mainstream. Remixed by house producer Boris Dlugosch, "Sing It Back (Boris Musical Mix)", was a massive Ibiza hit and entered the top-five of 1999 weekly UK singles charts, helped by a psychedelic video featuring Murphy in a very short metallic flapper dress and cap. "Sing It Back" was eventually featured on more than 110 music compilations. Dlugosch's remix also appears on faux radio station Rise FM in the action-adventure game "GTA: Liberty City Stories" (2005, Rockstar Games).
In 2000 Moloko started touring as a full band along with percussionist Paul Slowly, keyboardist Eddie Stevens, and guitarist Dave Cook.
The band also had chart success with "The Time Is Now", the first single from their third album, Things to Make and Do. This album had relied less on the leftfield beats of the previous albums, and featured more organic instrumentation.
Murphy and Brydon ended their relationship in 2001. After their breakup they recorded and released their fourth and final studio album, Statues, in 2003. Statues continued a segue into more traditional instrumentation, along with electronica elements from their earlier releases. The album majorly incorporated the theme of the couple's split: all of the songs deal with a troubled and/or ending romance.
In 2004 Moloko released a live DVD, 11,000 Clicks, recorded on stage at the Brixton Academy. It contained many of their well known songs including "Indigo", "Sing It Back", and "The Time Is Now".
After concluding the tour supporting Statues, Moloko mutually parted ways, with Róisín Murphy launching a solo career.
A "best of" album, Catalogue, was released in 2006. Murphy and Brydon, along with long-time Moloko guitarist Dave Cook, played a select number of acoustic radio performances to promote the album.
Since 2006 they have been on an indefinite hiatus.
Forever More
Moloko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on
Let there be love
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I'm just curious
Got to find me somebody
But there's nobody
To love me
And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody to love me
Somebody tell me
How could there be nobody
To love me
And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody to love me
Somebody tell me
How could there be nobody
Nobody to love me
And this life is so empty
There's nobody to love me
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears

To feel most every feeling
Forever more
And if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on
Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I'm just curious
Don't want to see me crying
Just want to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Want somebody to blow my mind
Don't want to see me crying
Just want to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Want don't you blow my mind
Blow my mind
Blow my mind
Got to find me somebody
But there's nobody
To love me
Anybody could love me
And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody to love me
Anybody could love me
Somebody to hold my hand
Someone who understands
Somebody to help me write
The poetry of life
Someone to love me
Someone who loves me
Ooh Baby

Jesus christ when she sings "I'm just curious" I get chills. Her sense of rhythm with her vocal phrasing is so unique and just phenomenal. I'm so sad I just discovered Moloko this year, so much time wasted in ignorance.
@bulansi
welcome to the club :)
@jakedeviah9388
You are not ignorant. I just found this artist yesterday literally some times we find what we find in time.. I am living this song 🎵 and for me that is the sad part.. best wishes to you..
@Michael-1305
Ich habe die Musik im Fernsehen in einer Werbung gehört und über Google das Lied gesucht . Ganz grosse Stimme!! Höre sie grade hoch und runter !!
@empireman1077
I am in my 50s, only discovered Moloko this year
I have heard music in the past on the radio, but never made a mental note
I really enjoy listening to ,💃 many bands/artist that you can never keep up with the music trends
I expect She was a underrated singer, having a few decent singles that were ideally played at clubs
Bring it back to me, baby !
@masilomorake2876
When you wake up in the morning, and a song, from your childhood, is playing in your head. Beautiful. Love from South Africa.❤🎉
@NomfundoV8
MTV days or YFM 😭😭😭
@gaddaitherage8204
She has such an unmistakable sound. I know she is popular in Europe and in the clubs but she definitely deserves more recognition globally.
@MrGTO86
She has it. When Moloko was alive they were big in South Africa. And I grew up listening to their songs and I'm Kenyan.
@ntuthukodlame1894
Lots of love from South Africa for sure!!!
