Seductive Barry Lyrics
Here in the night love takes control.
Making me high
making me whole.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
When I close my eyes I can see you lowering yourself to my level.
I don't know where you got those clothes,
you can take them off if it makes you feel better.
Don't stop it now.
Now is so right.
Now as the day slips away
and we slide into night.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
I open my eyes and you're there,
even better in the flesh it would seem.
I'm so ready and willing and able it's untrue,
to act out this love scene
and make my dreams come true.
And how many others have touched themselves
whilst looking at pictures of you?
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true?
I don't expect you to answer straight away,
maybe you're just having an off day
but I need to believe in you.
Yes I do.
Yes I do.
Oh I want you here in my heart.
Here in my head.
Live all your dreams for tonight
here in your bed.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights
cos I'm not going home tonight.
This love scene has begun.
There's nothing left for us to do but get it on.
Let's make this the greatest love scene from a play no-one's thought up yet.
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive:
I've wanted you for years.
I only needed the balls to admit it.
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
there's nothing you can do about it.
No.
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky.
Breathe in, breathe out,
I love the way you move.
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight.
You are beauty,
you are class,
you showed it all
but you still kept a little piece back just for me.
A little piece back just for me.
Just for me.
Oh I don't know how you do it
but I love the way you do it,
when you're doing it to me.
And if this is a dream then I'm going to sleep for the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
Making me high
making me whole.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No I don't know.
No no no.
No I don't know.
I don't know where you got those clothes,

damn... is he actually with this girl? i'm sortof thinking that he is just fantasizing... especially since he says and make my dreams come true. And how many others have touched themselves whilst looking at pictures of you? How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true? it really makes me think that maybe she's just a girl from a magazine or something and he wants to live out his fantasies with her
@rach_bot I agree. And I think he's not fantasizing so much about the girl as about how he would be amazing "handling" her. Hence the images you don't really encounter in a love scenes, and the ironic title.

I get the idea that they didn't want it to be like a Barry White song - like, come bask in how sexy I am. But he's moved on from just basking in how sexy she is, too. It's like both of the people in the song have wanted each other for ages, they're each the object of the other's fantasies, and now they finally get to play it out... I think?

mm this song, is so love/hate for me... I dunno why i can't stop hearing it (actually im hearing it now).. maybe just revolutionize my hormones... And sometimes the sound is pretty good, especially in the "I don't know. Oh no no no."
But God! how I hate the title... :P
I don't think that the character is fantasising, he probably touched himself looking a picture of her in the past, he dreamed with her a long time, and now he meet her and is gonna make his dreams come true... It's basically a song about how a simple dream can become true when you're famous and powerful... or maybe not xD
it is really seducing with orchestral and female vocals with the spooky jarvis voice talking. one of the countless masterpieces of pulp
I'm surprised at the negativity - I love this song. And the line "I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky"... the perfect mix of seedy and pure.
I think this song is extremely creepy and kind of stalkeresque. Same plot/ person as This Is Hardcore?
I quite like this track. Like a lot of Pulp songs it's a very sexual song done in a very sexy manner, unlike say a typical RnB track talking about booty and titties which is crass and totally in your face.
Without wanting to sound like some greasy, bristling chest hair 'ladies man' this track is nice to listen to in the early hours of the morning when you are spending the night in bed with someone special.
Listen to this with the lights out, lying by yourself, or with the object of your desires, drift along with the hypnotic lyrics and the wash over strings, then decide for yourself whether this is about reality or fantasy, or both. Whatever you decide this song will never leave you, whether you find it sensual or seedy!
Great title crap song.
Sorry, I want to like it but while about half of Hardcore is some of Pulp's best work the other half is decidedly average.
