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".

Way Beyond Lyrics

Morcheeba

Driving with your
Handbrake on
But you cant smell the burning
Colliding with oblivion
Just to keep heads turning
Man I want some, pretty cash
Its ugly all that saving
Cause we could get so fabulous
When were out rolex raving
No craving
Oh were way beyond our means
To buy these crazy things
Oh were wasting our whole lives
In the struggle to survive
Get yourself in debt for me
The grass dont get no greener
Have it all so far upfront
It doesnt take a dreamer
A beamer
Oh were way beyond our means
We love these spending sprees
Oh were wasting all our time
On some production line
But diving down the web we chute
Well be ok if we uproot
Cause I dont mean no heavy family
Holding me
Oh were way beyond our means
To buy these crazy things
Oh were making them swiss francs
To burst there private banks
Oh were way beyond our means
We love these spending sprees
Oh were wasting our whole lives
In a struggle to survive
