Morcheeba is a British band that mixes influences from trip hop, rock, rhythm and blues and pop. Sometime in the mid-1990s, the Godfrey brothers (DJ Paul Godfrey and multi-instrumentalist Ross Godfrey) recruited Skye Edwards as vocalist, during a chance meeting at a party in which both brothers were introduced to Skye. This led to formation of Morcheeba. The band's name means "the way of marijuana." Five albums later in 2003, Edwards was asked to leave the band by the Godfrey Brothers.
I first heard this song, of all places, while on hold waiting for computer tech support. The song was part of the playlist for "on-hold" music. Later, I found the video online and it has remained one of my favorite music videos. The video was filmed at the West Pier in Brighton, England.
Otherwise
(Morcheeba)
They wanted me here
Just to show you my face
But when it comes to the crunch
I just hide in disgrace
You're calling me mad
But I know youre the same
Cause you got to be seen
to be playing the game
Yes, we got to be seen
to be playing, the game
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise
A specimen like you
I would love to obtain
I asked a tedious guy
if he'll tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With a back somersault
I want to take out your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise
When I open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And I can't expect that kind of love from you
When you open your mouth
Your teeth are beautifully polished
And I can't extract the pain you're going through
No I can't explain
The pain you're going through
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you womanise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I'm under your curse
It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But they call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise
