"Pure Morning" as written by Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steven Hewitt....
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,

1st verse:
a girl has some weed, shes fit and the guy likes her, shes in leather of some sort which he likes, ones down about something so they get high together
2nd verse:
shes teasing him sexually and he enjoys it, its like ther thoughts are compressed and they dont see the bigger picture, that they're heading for a rocky ride or stormy weather"
3rd verse:
ther still in need of something, its all foreign to them (japanese referance) she ends up undressing they end up having sex
4th verse:
she was in need, she thought she was pregnant after that night but her period came and she tested negative on the pregnancy test so ther friendship remaind
5th verse:
the lines about skin crawling and pure morning etc: it works because it was a pure morning, they woke up together and had done an act which is considered pure or dirty depending on the way u look at it. ther skin was crawling through frustration or something maybe
6th verse:
even though they where scared that the girl was pregnant, they're blessed bcoz they enjoyed the sex and theyre blessed because things didnt go wrong and the girl didnt wind up getting pregnant
the rest is just repetative and goes over the same meanings. Its just a story of two mates getting high, making them feel sexually charged and the worries of the morning after when one things that theyre pregnant, its a common thing these days and i think placebo have covered it really well.
one of my favourite tunes

Good work you are very articulate with your opinions on this song your ideas flowed and I couldnt spot a flaw as hard as I did try.
The references to the female friend, is in reference to a female accomplice who scores off him in return for sex. "And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever" means that when she has no meth she will come to him and undress and seduce him for her fix without giving away her intentions. "A friend with weed is better" simply refers to him wanting the friend to bring weed as it will help him to relax and boost the euphoria after ingesting the meth. The reference to passing the test and also the bleeding is in reference to a pregnancy scare, possibly with another man ("And we will never sever"), or possibly with him as inhibitions are non-existent whilst on methamphetamine.
"Our thoughts compressed", may be in reference to the fact that whilst using meth, your focus is only taken up by the thing you are currently doing at the time. For example, if you are being seduced, your entire thought process is taken over by sex. "It makes us blessed" I guess could refer to being blessed in a heavenly euphoric state and having each other to enjoy. "And makes for stormy weather" Could refer to the time shortly after after their bender sexcapade. It could be either about them fighting because she thinks she may be pregnant, or that they feel like rubbish after using hard for a while.
Sorry if this is too jumbled up
