Lyrics for This Is Hardcore as interpreted by typo

This Is Hardcore Lyrics
You are hardcore, you make me hard
You name the drama and I'll play the part
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream
I like your get-up if you know what I mean
I want it bad
I want it now
Oh, can't you see I'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together
Don't make a move 'til I say "Action."
Oh, here comes the Hardcore life
Put your money where your mouth is tonight
Leave your make-up on and I'll leave on the light
Come over here babe and talk in the mic
Oh, yeah I hear you now
It's gonna be one hell of a night
You can't be a spectator, oh no
You got to take these dreams and make them whole
Oh, this is Hardcore
There is no way back for you
Oh this is Hardcore
This is me on top of you
And I can't believe it took me this long
That it took me this long
This is the eye of the storm
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
But in here it is pure, yeah
This is the end of the line
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before
Oh that goes in there
Then that goes in there
Then that goes in there
Then that goes in there
And then it's over
Oh, what a hell of a show
But what I want to know
What exactly do you do for an encore?
Cos this is Hardcore

I used to stupidly skip this song, to favor others that would be more in tune with my mood at that moment (TV Movie, Glory Days). That's what happens when you don't pay attention.

The way the structure of the song resembles every moment of a sexual intercourse amazes me. It's a rhythmic uphill that reaches its climax in the extremely graphic line "this is me on top of you". An then, the floor's the limit.

I don't skip it anymore.

sexiest song ever.
i don't think it's necessarily about porn films. i think it's more of a sexual encounter experienced by the singer himself.
god is it delicious.

This song reminds me of dangerous love and dangerous sex, all those forbidden things that people are affraid to admit they love.......such as sex with hookers, watching young teenage porn, odd fetishes, and all those bad things.
It also reminds me alot Serge Gainsbourg and or 60's swinging mod culture, classy but dirty. Just grand! It's today's reincarnation of "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" by Gainsbourg. SEX, SEX, AND MORE SEX! GIVE IT TO ME, THEN GIVE ME MORE! HAHA.

This is the most sexual explicit and intense song ever written. I like to hear this song without doing anything but... listening. If I'm at work and this song starts, I just let everything apart for those minutes and close my eyes... It's like having a quick sex session anytime, anywhere.

It's wonderfully written and played and that voice... oh my! My favorite part is when he says: "Oh, this is Hardcore, there is no way back for you, oh this is Hardcore, this is me on top of you..." it's just orgasmic...

From the beggining to the end. Marvelous. My favorite song of this album.

I love Pulp.

to me, this song is about Mr. Cocker (at his popular rockstar status) having an encounter with a female from his past that he obviously was sexually attracted to, and fantasized over("seems i saw you in some teenage wet-dream"), and now getting the chance to conquer that dream and fantasy ("you cant be a spectator, oh no, you gotta take these dreams and make them whole")....obviously, he achieves his goal and fulfills a dream, but in the end, its over and thats all there is to it ("what exactly do you do for an encore?")

this makes you want to have sex? it's a little too dark for my tastes in humping. This song is just sleazy, a good sleazy, don't get me wrong, but not quite sexy. I just prefer "Do You Remember The First Time," or "Disco 2000" to this, which isn't to say that this is a bad song, because it certainly isn't. It's just that, to drill it FURTHER into your skulls, it's not my taste.

I always figured it was about some older man that was fascinated by porn as a teen ["I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever"] and wants to make a porno movie.
Ch'yeah.
It's so sleazy, it's sexy. ;]

I agree with the other. I just want to point out how beautifully twisted this song is. It is 100% lust - perverted - about taboo and unbrideled fantasy for the sexual high.Sex is a drug. This narrator is addicted to sex. His mind is full of images and he is playing them all out. There is no going back - once you've gone harcore you can't ever go back.

Sex as a drug is like any other drug - you have to take a bigger hit to get the same high. That is why you can't go back once you go hardcore - normal, vanilla sex won't get you off like it once did.

Unlike, "do you remember the first time", this is about deviant sex not innocent union. The songs are about the total opposite. Here there is no regret, no emotion.

This song has a companion on the lp - "seductive barry". If you listen to them together you will see. Slightly different but same underscore of lust and "fucking passion".

Btw,

this was played as the beginning of Pulp's encore a few years back at Glastonbury festival - they had the crowd wait for about 20 or 30 minutes in the cold until they came back out and said "this is for the fan's that are hardcore".... assholes. everyone knew they were going to come back out 'cos the hadn't played 'Common People'.

ok. rant over

song = meh

If they wanted to wait that long, it shouldn't really matter. As he said, the actual fans would have stayed for that long, the people who just wanted to see the famous people would've gone.

Seems David Gilmour and Jarvis Cocker have something in common.

Pornography is a metaphor for the music industry. Jarvis is disgusted by the degrading way it uses people and spits them out, only for a quick buck; how everybody (including himself) is so blinded by the glitter and glare of being a celebrity that they don't see the darker, seedier underbelly of it all.

It's an absolutely brilliant epic of a song, with an equally awesome film clip.

I love that middle section everyone's mentioned, "this is me on top of you, etc.", and one thing that always blows my mind about this song is that you figure that section has to be the climax, and then it goes into a whole other part, like there's still 2.5 mins left to the song!! Whoa.

Just stating the obvious here, but it's obvious about sex, but the song itself has a sinister tone, so I don't think it's about sex from love, it's a more sinister, creepy type of love.

This song is clearly about sex. Not sick sex, perverted sex, or even rape. This song is about a young man, or perhaps even an old man, losing his virginity. “I want it bad. I want it now. Oh can’t you see, I’m ready now…I’ve seen all the pictures, I’ve studied them forever. I wanna make a movie so let’s star in it together.” This clearly shows that the man referred to only has experienced porn in his life, which is the closest he has ever come to sex.

His reference alone about “wet dreams” backed up with “you gotta take these dreams and make them whole” backs up the theory, as well as the line “I can’t believe that it took me this long.”

Also, referring to his inexperience are several lines. “I’ve seen this storyline, played out so many times before”, showing that he is strictly going by what he has seen in his porn movies. “That goes in there, then that goes in there, then that goes in there, then that goes in there, ohhhhh (made in somewhat of a post-ejaculation sound), and then its over”…sounding like he’s taken it from some sort of a porn manual. That’s what this song is about.
