Underwear
Pulp · Different Class
Why don't you shut the door
And close the curtains
Cos you're not going anywhere
He's coming up the stairs
And in a moment, he'll want to see your underwear
Ahh...
Chorus :
I couldn't stop it now
There's no way to get out
He's standing far too near
How the hell that you get here
Semi naked in somebody else's room
I give my whole life just to see it
Just you, Stood there
Only in your underwear
If fashion is your trade
Then when you're naked
I gues you must be unemployed
But once it's on the way
There's no escaping
The fact that you're a girl and he's a boy
Ahh...
Chorus
If you could close your eyes
And just remember
That this is what you wanted last night
So why is it so hard
For you to touch him
For to go, give yourself to him
Oh Jesus.....
Chorus
Come on...come on...come on now....
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.........
Oh yeah, I want to see it
Want to see you standing in your Underwear
Aahh....
And close the curtains
Cos you're not going anywhere
He's coming up the stairs
And in a moment, he'll want to see your underwear
Ahh...
Chorus :
I couldn't stop it now
There's no way to get out
He's standing far too near
How the hell that you get here
Semi naked in somebody else's room
I give my whole life just to see it
Just you, Stood there
Only in your underwear
If fashion is your trade
Then when you're naked
I gues you must be unemployed
But once it's on the way
There's no escaping
The fact that you're a girl and he's a boy
Ahh...
Chorus
If you could close your eyes
And just remember
That this is what you wanted last night
So why is it so hard
For you to touch him
For to go, give yourself to him
Oh Jesus.....
Chorus
Come on...come on...come on now....
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.........
Oh yeah, I want to see it
Want to see you standing in your Underwear
Aahh....

Released on Pulp's 1995 album Different Class, 'Underwear' stands as a defining track of Britpop, blending the band's signature melodic sensibility with a darker, more introspective tone. The song features the distinctive vocals of Jarvis Cocker and the guitar work of Nick Holmes, capturing the era's shift towards more complex songwriting structures. It serves as a pivotal moment in the band's discography, showcasing their ability to merge pop accessibility with literary themes. The recording remains a staple of the genre, reflecting the cultural atmosphere of mid-90s Britain and cementing Pulp's status as a major force in alternative rock history.
