Numan, Gary - Pure Lyrics

Forever a personal favourite. Never mind the similarities to other bands, his voice alone ultimately makes it unique!

WITH EACH WORD, WITH EACH NOTE, I LOVE HIM MORE. HIS RAGE IS A MUSICAL WONDER.

Great Stuff

love the anger and rage!

Your timing is off.
Still, an outstanding song.

I don’t know who is the bitch of the text. But once i’ve been in love with a woman who made me drown in an ocean of pure shit.

Anyone know why this CD costs so much on amazon? What am I missing?

early 2000s gold

why do krauts have the right to even mention Numans name!!!

Overwhelming.

I love Numan but can't rsist laughning when he says Sanctified as it reminds me of the track Sanctified of Nine Inch Nails.

Haha, exactly my thoughts.

I think you mean the Seinfeld theme

How strange then, that Trent say's that Numan is a massive influence.....

I think maybe this song is an "answer" to Sanctified. I actually just came to YouTube so I could compare these two songs.

Did anyone hear The Sammus Theory's version of this song? 

@Charlie Swing Yep. I've seen them perform it live, as a matter of fact.

Thanks for sharing - I love this track

mein Gott, wie geil. bei dem Brett bei 0:56 dreh ich durch. warum habe ich diese scheibe so spät erst entdeckt?

Wow!  One of my most favorites of Gary's!  

At the beginning, that was my 1965 Mk1 Cortina trying to start up on a cold morning.
A great track.

Yes, now that you mention it.

I suppose he must be visiting a tanning salon every once in a while.

Eureka! I've found the song! PERFECT!

Has anyone else noticed how much darker Gary has gotten Since the 80's?

Thanks to Nine inch Nails and more importantly Depeche mode

Bear Chesso what? for being Numan fans in the first place?

haven't we all?

did you never listen to the lyrics of down in the park?

Love it!

like famous apple doing, high , in depth and real and long long lasting :)

ginger also helps for better blood circulation , this not only help the hair color, but also slow aging process. in China, we also invented all new herbal and fruit shampoo for ppl to wash hair, with private limited clinical usage of course, and it is expensive and I also have the prescription for this, a few of the best ones. :) when get more money time, will make my inventions become real or more product to ppl to access. :)

people may not know, daily consuming some black food, such as black sesame seeds or beans, can maintain the hair forever black or original in your own color. of choice. :) eat food similar to your hair color, your color may retains. :)this is CHinese TCM wisdom since old times. many people have no white hair.until they are 90s.

this sounds like it belongs in the crow movie, its so different from his early work

Haha, but still... grrrrrrr! ;)

I think Numan has a great voice - it really fits his dark introspective lyric.

Yeah maybe....but I still don't like it x)

Philistine! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! :p

Without Gary Numan's voice there would be no contemporary industrial electro/rock. He was one of the originators in the early 80s.

The only thing i don't like it's the singer voice :(

Manson said he was influenced by Numan and that they do keep in touch with each other. *didn't read the conversation just wanted to type that*

Umm...Skinny Puppy has been around since 1982, Gary Numan has been recording since *checking vinyl album* 1978, at least. Numan has changed with the times, done a brilliant song with NIN, and he likes the newer industrial sound. Crapping on him for that?! Sheesh. He sounds FANTASTIC.

At the end of the day, Numan's progressed as an artist. And I love the different aspects of him you get through both his Tubeway Army era stuff and the later music. He's a great musician and I think this later, darker side of him is totally underrated!

Good, but not as numan-like as his older albums

this guy is quintessentially english, quirky, talented, and a real gentleman

fuck off

im a dude. and id do him.

@lordboojum Thank you!

@loafpork Even The Best Youtube Vid Sounds Like Complete Sh!t That's Why I Don't Even Use Those YouTube Downloader Tools Like The One On RealPlayer! That's The Best One By Far... If Your Looking For This Track Go To Mp3skull.com It's The BEST!!!

@loafpork Hmm i'll have to look into it because it was most certainly never edited by me in terms of the quality as i've already said so perhaps it could be due to the software I use and pushing the audio into it. Although I must admit I can't really hear any loss of quality although my hearing has never been perfect XP

@Hammersmith80 HMMMmm can't say i feel sorrow for your unEmpathetic demeanor.
clueless and completely, Wrong in your, Simpleton way of thinking. ...GO, act out being, a republican. ;D

@loafpork These "Uploads" are tracks off the actual CD's themselves, therefore by stating that these "Uploads" sound like shit is saying that Gary Numan's songs or rather the quality of them sound like "Shit" which for a numanoid which I am assuming you are one is rather profound. Again the sound quality of this track has not been altered, changed or edited in any way or form. Thank you.

Grande artista,ottima musica fatta per meditare...................

@lordboojum I completely agree. The live album from his Pleasure Principle tour was a little expensive, but it was the best $37.99 I ever spent. xP

@incasino0utATDI
Yes he can this song is great. Maybe it is to dark for you.

@seirbeach Pretty cool statement! Us fans should make several GN shirts [to honor and celebrate him] and that should be the statement on all of them: SUPPORT GARY NUMAN! WE NEED [in bold letters] HIM!!!

Trent Reznor was influence by Gary Numan and vice versa. It works both ways. Everyone is influenced by something. This is just brilliant. It's Numan with a twist. And it's fucking phenomenal

Absolutely, I can definitely hear NIN's song Sanctified while listening to this song.

This song is OK. Numan can't really do hard music. It just doesn't sound right.

Gary has gotten better and better and better. . . . .support him!! We need him!!

@jackal242 That's a matter of preference. Personally, NIN's a fairly mediocre, entry-level band. They have a few decent songs, but with each release, they continue to become a parody of themselves. Gary Numan, however, has lasted several generations, growing and evolving.

@StevenLoos Yes, but Trent did it better, and Gary openly stated he was trying to sound like Pretty Hate Machine on this album. But to go so far as to nearly copy the lyrics is kinda sad.

@StevenLoos Since the 70s :)

And Trent is a huge fan; Gary's guested live w/him.

@jackal242 They took their sound from him. He's been making music since the 80's.

He really did try to make this sound as much like Nine Inch Nails as possible. Even the lyrics sound like Sanctified.

@MaliceMizery1 Indeed!

The older stuff is MUCH better....it doesn't sound like a NIN ripoff. I love Gary Numan but this stuff is disappointing.

HEY... BITCH!!! Nice track! :P

heehee, yeah, you got it

I LOVE THIS! Great music man!

great!!

I have to admit, until you tube i have not listened to Numan since the early 80s, now i cant get enough of him, superb stuff, he ceases to amaze!!
