He lived for his wife up until the crime
Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code, got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade
Cozy campfire crowd with a case of wine
And feeling fine
Bounty hunter now and they'd crossed the line
Crossed that line
Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade
In a border town, down in Mexico
They let him go
Law and order now 'cause he runs the show
So now you know
Hunting high and low, exact revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flow he drank the blood like lemonade
Hunting high and low, exact revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flow he drank the blood like lemonade
He drank the blood like lemonade
He drank the blood like lemonade
He drank the blood like lemonade
Morcheeba are an English electronic band formed in the mid-1990s with founding members vocalist Skye Edwards and the brothers Paul and Ross Godfrey. They mix influences from trip hop, rock, folk rock and downtempo, and have produced ten regular studio albums since 1995, two of which reached the UK top ten. Edwards left the band in 2003, after which the brothers used a number of singers before she rejoined in 2009. They recruit additional members for their live performances and have toured internationally. In 2014 Paul Godfrey resigned from the band. Edwards and Ross Godfrey later formed Skye & Ross and released a self-titled album in September 2016. Their latest studio album as Morcheeba, Blackest Blue, was released in May 2021 and was preceded by singles "Sounds of Blue", "Oh Oh Yeah" and "The Moon". It features collaborations with Brad Barr from The Barr Brothers, and Duke Garwood, whom Edwards described as "a diamond geezer".
Just them four chords though innit. You know the ones. Like bread with nothing on it. Which can be ok if it's really fresh. I'm off to do a mashup with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It won't get any more tasty.
Judging the quality of a song by the number of chords used in it seems like a pretty trivial evaluation. For one thing, the majority of popular songs and beloved classics have only three or four chords.
This song's got a good groove - it seems that was what they were going for.
For what it's worth, this song is not the notorious "four chord" progression that you seem to be hinting at.
And if one finds that more than a single lifetime is needed to Finish the Job, then one might find themselves permanently separated from their loved ones lost in order to see their revenge through to its end. =/
Anti-Antifa song... ahead of its time.
Moron 🤬
Yup, chill grooving beats to set a nice laidback vibe. LLRP!!
We don't play any songs more than once per day — in fact we only play a handful of songs more than once per week, and this hasn't been one of them for a couple of years (when it was new).
I'd marry Skye for that lovely voice alone.
Floor Jansen is my favorite singer, but Skye is my favorite voice.
A fine comment from a Grammarcop, but lyrical context makes me believe he drank blood as if it were lemonade.
Not sure what incident would drive a healing holy man to extract revenge, however. Only that "he lived for his wife up until the crime."
Are we sure he didn't drink the blood-like lemonade?
Maybe it was just strawberry lemonade some kids brought to the Halloween party.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
One of the great questions of our time...
But what will Dennis The Menace and Charlie Brown drink after the zombie apocalypse?
Going to assume you mean Skye.
Skye is my favorite voice.
Not my favorite singer (Floor Jansen is the holder of that) but certainly that voice just does something for me.
