Biography

Morphine was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 1990 by Mark Sandman (vocals, bass) and Dana Colley (saxophone). Jerome Dupree became the group's drummer in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Good. "Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.

    Lyrics
    I hear a voice from the back of the room
    I hear a voice cry out you want something good
    Well, come on a little closer let me see your face
    Yeah, come on a little closer by the front of the stage
    I said come on a little closer I got something to say

    Lyrics
    Where is the ritual
    And tell me where, where is the taste?
    Where is the sacrifice
    And tell me where, where is the faith?
    Someday there'll be a cure for pain

    Lyrics
    Candy told me, "Nothing really matters anymore"
    And when I ask her what she means she says, "I ought to know"
    Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
    Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
    Candy says she wonders, she wonders why we try

    Lyrics
    She had black hair
    Like ravens crawling over her shoulders
    All the way down
    She had a smile that swerved
    She had a smile that curved

    Lyrics
    I'm free now to direct a movie
    Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
    How I'm so interesting I'm so great
    I'm really just a fuck-up and it's such a waste
    To burn down these wall around me
