"Pure" is a song by British music group the Lightning Seeds from their debut album, Cloudcuckooland.

The track is the band's sole entry on the US Billboard Hot 100's top 40, peaking at No.

The first Lightning Seeds single release, "Pure" is significant in that it was the first song Ian Broudie had "completely written and sung, ever".

[2] It was when producing a track for the Pale Fountains that Broudie was offered a chance to release some of his own material.

200 copies of the single were originally pressed, but after some radio play and attention at The Haçienda, the song soon sprang to mainstream consciousness.
