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".

Small Town Lyrics

Morcheeba

You feel frozen
But youve been chosen,
You lay the drunken
You dreams seem sunken
Your world is small world
And you break the rules
Youre one big fish
In a ball of false
Time is serving/surfing up you down
Time youre wearing that crown
Time is sliding up and down
Tired of being you
Your works no future
Your girl dont suit you
You ? ?
You have no nerve to
Take a break from this sad old school
Accross the lake
Lies a place thats cool
Run you got a place to go
Run you got a boat to row
Run you got a face to show
Run while you can
The high street sleeping
Theres friday creeping
The shops are open
But their minds are closed
How is going but its not their concern
They talkin stuff (? ) about you
That you never learn
Smile, youre on your own
Smile, cause youve outgrown
Smile, you lost your home
Smile to yourself
