Pull the trigger, I'm a hippie,
So said a truth, and blood,
Alive and well,
You push the buttons.
Standing in line of fire,
For the whole,
My soul,
Step codes,
The drums,
And sing,
Love the children,
Learn to live with everything.
Love love love, i'm a trigger hippie, yeah
Love love love, we're trigger hippies, yeah.
Zoom in, cut out at sound,
Make it feel so trippy
Hung up, let down to ground,
Forget the kill it's far to sticky
Love love love, i'm a trigger hippie, yeah
Love love love, we're trigger hippies, yeah.

This is the song that introduced me to Morcheeba, as well as whole trip hop genre. To me, this song and Morcheeba have aged quite well. I always have to pause and listen whenever Morcheeba gets played on RP. By the way, Bill followed this up with Morphine. In the late-90's those were my two favorite groups and my car usually had a CD from one of the two!
same. i'm with you. and i really needed to hear this today. (and it was followed up by Peter Murphy All Night Long this time, and i'm loving that so much. memories!)
i love skye's voice, but the other vocalist after her departure is just as great.

10 months late Bill still follows this up with Morphine - something must be working!
24 ago - still listening to it saw them life twice!

Oh boy, I can't wait to show you!
Are musicians now supposed to compose music for audiences fifty years in the future? Why should anyone care what people would be listening to fifty years hence? We'll probably be dead anyhow.
Certainly HOPE I'm dead in 50 yrs!!....Hoping to not have to endure much more of this "modern" world.....MANY times quoted...take me back to simpler day in time....30's would be fine....gr8 depression & all included!! Some things, like RP, they are nice in this day/age but, all else "electronic"/'net related....garbage. IMHO.
I don't think most people even look at CD covers anymore, much less make purchasing decisions based upon them. It's sad, really. Anyhow, it's not a very impressive cover - not bad, but it looks like the Adobe noodlings of someone who probably never attended art school.
Oh....it's not doodlings!....by ANY stretch!.... And, no matter if bought on cover art or not, that's one tasty lookin bud!! 😁

HI-larious! Although, in sticking with the "HI" aspect of this tune, you know with the album cover photo and all, I wonder how many stoners will be able to remember to follow-up in 44 years from now....mental note made (SMOKE MORE WEED!)

That was G R E A T
Rock n Roll was never music that was meant for posterity. RNR was/is/will be ALWAYS about that point in time in which was made. It's an artist's reflection of the times in which they live. Why can't you and those like you accept that?
Isn't the paucity of talent under major label (studio) cooptation of campy folk music the stuff of the most recent Cohen Bros. flick about a struggling singer - songwriter falling down at the time of Dylan's emergence?
Cooptation?

Thank you.
I guess we'll just have to wait 50 years to see if you are correct.
Let's see what was popular 50 years ago: May 1963:
"If you Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul
"Foolish Little Girl" by The Shirelles
"Can't Get Used to Losing You" by Andy Williams - (that's still on everyone's playlist).
"Puff (the Magic Dragon)" by Peter, Paul & Mary.
"Linda" by Jan and Dean.
"Reverend Mr. Black" by the Kingston Trio.
and many more familiar tunes, but don't know who is still listening to them.

Not one of my favourite songs of theirs.

Maybe (I like it). But you gotta admit it's a relieved kind of bored after Smashing Pumpkin Guy's voice...

I'll likely be dead .... so I won't be.
Maybe so, but I like listening to it now. Lots of stuff I like will have no value (or be popular, whichever you mean) fifty years from now. Hell, my favorite bell bottoms fell out of favor way faster than fifty years. "Hippies" -- from the title -- didn't remain in favor fifty years either, but that doesn't invalidate our worth then or now.
Interesting comment. Made me think, and I'm sure I'll be thinking about it long after I log off tonight.

Ha. I really like the validity of that comment. Great stuff.
You mean that would be a bad thing?
If that was a way to measure a band's talent, no one would ever listen to the Stones.

I was just looking to see if somebody else noticed this ...
Sneaker Pimps: 6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit) (Becoming X )
Je prefer the latter
This album's release preceded that of Becoming X by a few months.

I'll never forget that.
Aside from the play on words (trigger happy) there is the background vocal saying "drop in," as well as the opening lyric "tune in, drop out." All of that a bit of a play on Timothy Leary's "turn on, tune in, drop out." Maybe it's an homage to hippies...
Love this track, regardless.

A play on words. Trigger happy -> trigger hippy. Something someone dreamed up while tripping?
Give it your own meaning. :)
The first times I heard hear, I could have sworn I had heard her before on Massive Attack's Protection.....
not for this song thread, but I am certain things I am posting are being deleted later. Makes me not want to post anything.
Reminds me of Astrud Gilberto, or Mazzy Starr. Catchy hook.
Blah, blah, blah .... ( accent the last 'blah' )
Love them! They are awesome!
feels good.
and who can you trust, really?
