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".

Shoulder Holster Lyrics

Morcheeba

(alright)
I am the new
For reasons I can never explain
I speak the truth
I put an end to all your pain
I want guilt, I wanna to drag you right through your past
Im on a role
And Im moving way to fast
(alright)
Arent we always looking over our shoulders
Arent we always drawing guns from our holsters
Im at the start to check every hour of the day
I stand well above
And mould you with my clay
Out of the depth, every soul can pay a fee
Those who are kept
Im gonna set you free
(alright)
Arent we always looking over our shoulders
Arent we always drawing guns from our holsters
Ill shed light
Tear apart all you believe
One of us
Grateful for all you receive
Make it up, do you find it hard to contain
Pray in god, can you hold it all inside your brain
(alright)
Arent you always getting scared of the future
Arent you always thinking someone will shoot you
Arent we always looking over our shoulders
Arent we always drawing guns from our holsters
