Morcheeba is a British band that mixes influences from trip hop, rhythm and bluesand pop. The word "morcheeba" means "the way of marijuana" ("Mor" - the middle of the way & "Cheeba" - informal name of marijuana). Formed in the mid-1990s, they consisted of Paul Godfrey ( dj), Ross Godfrey on guitar and keyboards with Skye Edwards as the primary vocalist fronting the band. While churning up interest through an underground presence mostly in London, the band finally broke through when featured on the Ultra-Chilled series. Their first two releases seemed to portend a trip-hop based modern psychedelia that they seemed to completely eschew for a meatier, beatier, mom pop-centric sound on 2000's "Fragments Of Freedom".

Aqualung Lyrics

Morcheeba

Battle cries
We make the swift retreat
Paradise
It dont come cheap
Square up to fight
Like dynamite
The flight is young
Were getting deep without an aqualung
Our will is strong
We got to work at where were goin wrong
Buttercup
I think we missed a turn
Back it up
Youd think Id learn
Your gelignite
Sets truth alight
The flight is young
Were getting deep without an aqualung
Our time is long
We got to find where were coming from
Square up to fight
Like dynamite
The flight is young
Were getting deep without an aqualung
Our will is strong
Weve got to work at where were going wrong
Light years from here
Were gonna burn up in the atmosphere
Its crystal clear
Were coming swinging on the chandelier
