![]() Big Calm (1998) [ larger cover art ] |
Angry faces, cursing loud,
Changing places, falling proud
Behind the bomb, no one cares,
Time is money
We're taught to tear
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
How can we show, how to feel
Situation ain't so real
Chopping wood won't stop the rage
We need targets on war we wage
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
You smash they grab 'til it's gone
Attempt to grow and fix undone
And I am the way it's all to scale
We're all companions on which we sail
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance

| RobN (In the flatlands of East Anglia) | Posted: Feb 10, 2013 - 13:53 Just what are those strange noises that sound like they should be restricted to the bathroom? And what are they adding to this otherwise fine song? |
| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: Jan 25, 2013 - 13:25 I love this song, but that low rumbling sound reminds me of the the morning after an evening at Vinnie's Veggie Burrito stand. |

| Cellocaster_Paul (Milwaukee) | Posted: Aug 23, 2011 - 20:39 I REALLY like this song- love the major/minor hooks, the sound of the violin with the guitar and band- the way it's mixed and produced- like the SOUND of it... :) |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 01, 2008 - 05:08 Nice enough voice and song, though not as good as some Morcheeba I've heard on RP. Shame about the rolling wet fart sound in the background, though ;-) |

| gernick (Groningen (in the cold northern Netherlands)) | Posted: May 10, 2008 - 08:49 morcheeba have always hit the nail right on the head: Lounge music is meant to be forgettable. However the inclusion of country in this song almost makes it rise above the lounge benchmark |

Yep. There are some Morcheeba songs (like "By The Sea") that are pretty cool but not this one. |

| aragon (West Lafayette) | Posted: Apr 08, 2008 - 20:38 Morcheeba is kinda boring especially now when those two djs decided to change the lead singer. They simply sinked down to musical forgetfulness. Poor guys. |
| wferrier (Johnson City, New York; Home of the Factory) | Posted: Feb 21, 2008 - 12:00 One of the better Morcheeba songsand so true! |
