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".

Public Displays Of Affection Lyrics

Morcheeba

Therefore all to see
Selfcontained lovers
Welded orally
No run for cover
I'd join in the fun
If i had someone
But it seems i'm undone
These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
I can wait for my mass rejection
I'm always the first thing you queue
Tried to hold your soul
But i crushed your spirit
Why do I feel so close
when i can't get near it
I'm flooded with fear
and it don't disappear
But i'm still standing here
These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be me
So concious of my imperfections
I've never lost interest in me
These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be me
You're not sure over-protection
leaves me with nothing to do
These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be me
I've got no time for reflection
My savior is long overdue
