Pure Morning was a collaborative single by British rock band Placebo and the Butthole Surfers, taken from their second album Without You I'm Nothing.
It is also usually considered as their second most played song shadowed only by 'Every You, Every Me". The most recognisable pattern to the song is the repetition of the line A friend in need's a friend indeed at the beginning of each verse. The song has been featured often in British television advertisements.
The video, directed by Nick Gordon, portrays police trying to talk down Brian Molko who is about to jump off a building. Band members make a cameo appearance as rubberneckers.
This song was also included as track 12 on Big Shiny Tunes 3 and was featured in the independent film, The Chumscrubber.
