Pure Pleasure Seeker
Moloko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta get me some
Gotta get me instant gratification.
Gimme new kicks,
Won't you show me new tricks
Without the ramifications.

Give it a try, don't be shy.
Well you know you might like it.
Never been to keen a timekeeper
But I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

All the way from Venus.
Invading from Mars.
Don't let that come between us.
It's written in the stars.

Save me from fading afraid.
The tears of a fool on parade.
Quietly turn into stone.
Make me flesh and bone.

Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it now
Well come on, yeah.
You know that you want it and how.

Stimulation in body and cell.
For the good and misguided.
Desperation I'm under your spell.
Misunderstood and derided.

Speculation they kiss and they tell.
Misjudged and misquoted.
Fell into the abyss
I must have wanted this.

Another myth exploded.
Take a weight off your mind.
Trust the voice of experience.
I'll tell you little white lies.
Viva indifference.

Stoke up the fire
I'm all you require.
They won't set you alight.
Come and live your desire.

Come make me whole.
Body and soul, come make me whole
Yeah.

Well come on, oh, oh.
You know that you want it now.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it and how.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.

Be crime against passion
Not to itch that itch
Oh don't ask how it happened
This is it
All we have ever wanted
All we will ever need
Nothing can take his plan
It's written all over your face
Yeah
You know that you want it now
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.
Come on
Yeah you know that you want it now.
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.

Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.





Come make me whole
Body and soul

I have spent the last 6 hours trying to remember the name of the product sold in the advert, trying those "find song by lyrics" websites, Googling "00s saxophone sampled pop track" and variations of, and getting nowhere.

She has such a unique voice, and I knew it wasn't a one hit wonder, that she had done other stuff, but I just couldn't place her.

Then the advert just came on...and here we are.

Moloko...great band, by the way.

Roisin has such a sexy attitude and the bad hair and dodgy clothes of this "period" throwback video was spot on in encapsulating their groovy funk undercurrent.

She’s dynamite! And the band are so strong. Brilliant.

@paulbembridge9239

An absolutely unstoppable juggernaut of a track. It's like being stream rolled by a silk wrapped concrete block. A totally irresistible earworm.

@picardplays

She is one of the rare few that didn't need a lick of vocal processing or a bunch of studio takes, every performance sounds just like the album

@daturagirl

she truly is the best, isn’t she ? what a lovely performer

@EatBugsSeeGod

Very true, bestie.

@FINNSTIGAT0R

Roisin has charisma like no other! (And of course a superb voice).

@nigelcharlton-wright1747

Bob Harris legend. Another underrated group. Far better than today's music. Look they play instruments rather shouting into mikes and boasting about their items. God I feel so old.

@PurePleasureSeeker

I listen to this song and watch the video at least once a month. Puts me on another level. I love them so much for it. My favourite song and video by them for sure.

@walboyfredo6025

Jezes - this is 2O YEARS OLDS DAMN!!!!!

@enriquefuentespalau1017

Can’t get the sax line out of my head!!
