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

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... :)



And my favorite, pedal steel...

Love the fiddle and steel, even if I'm repeating myself. Which I am!

Hearing this for the 1st time with new speakers (the great value Sony SS-CS5 bookshelf speakers) and wow, the cat purring sounds extra excellent to me. 

I highly recommend these, esp. if you can get them at the low price point ($75) or even the mid point ($118) - nice and lively with good sound stage, and paired with a sub woofer, you get to hear all the frequencies our human ears can hear. 

Long Live RP and cheap audiophile equipment!!

Her voice is weak, thin, and tonally a little flat. This is how I sound when I sing. So I only sing alone in the car. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Bravo for posting a Shag painting. I have four signed/numbered lithographs (or are they serigraphs?), I never know the difference.

This is a good song, but not one of my favorites.

Interesting— couple of reasons  I listened to some Morcheeba fews back and would not have picked her out here, cept knew I liked the voice and the musicians were tight! Also th{#Music}e comments are — interesting, if you have not heard some of early work give it a shot- the potential of this girl is I think unlimited

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

This is typical of this album. Their first one was real dark, this one is more mellowand they keep getting more bubbly, until they got a new singer, and that album sucks. This album has a really funny rap song on it.
