And there's ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye
Oh, now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend (out with a friend)
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
With the way that you left me, I can hardly contain
(Hardly contain)
The hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain
(Joy of the pain)
Now knowing I'm single, there'll be fire in my eyes
(Fire in my eyes)
And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight
(New love tonight)
Oh, now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend (out with a friend)
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend (out with a friend)
With lips full of passion (ooh)
And coffee in bed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, from lips without passion to the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss
The stain on my notebook remains all that's left
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed
Of the memory of late nights and coffee in bed
Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
Oh, a stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Oh, now she's gone (now she's gone)
And I'm out with a friend (out with a friend)
With lips full of passion (ooh)
And coffee in bed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Now she's gone (black coffee in bed)
And I'm back on the beat (black, black coffee in bed)
A stain on my notebook (black, black, black coffee in bed)
Says nothing to me (black coffee in bed)
Now she's gone (black, black coffee in bed)
And I'm back on the beat (black, black, black coffee in bed)
A stain on my notebook (black coffee in bed)
Says nothing to me (black, black coffee in bed)
(Black, black, black) Oh, coffee in bed
(Black) coffee in bed
(Black, black coffee in bed)
(Black, black, black coffee in bed)
(Black coffee in bed)
(Black, black coffee in bed)
(Black, black, black coffee in bed)
(Black coffee in bed)
(Black, black coffee in bed)
(Black, black, black coffee in bed)
Coffee is a crap way to wake-up in the morning.
It makes your teeth turn brown, creates nasty coffee breath, is addictive (something many coffee drinkers are in denial about) and makes the drinking crabby if they don't get their coffee when they want it. Addictions are not worth having. A month without coffee, and the brain will stop demanding it.
Thank you Squeeze. Gifford and Tilbrook know how to put together a decent tune. Their singles album is a fine listen.
Show up at MY door and you will leave, wearing coffee!
Fun fact: Elvis Costello and Paul Young sing backup ("black, black, coffee in bed").
Thank You for the info!

A month without coffee, and that will seem like a lifetime...
Alcohol’s worse! Nobody ever got pulled over for too much caffeine! 😎
Right, and don't you EVER fucking mess with my coffee.
Difford and Tilbrook.. A pair of genius songwriters.
i remember when younger thinking this was a sad song. but it really, isn't. it's an "i've moved on (even if it wasn't originally his choice)" song. i really dig that it isn't.

Oh, now I totally hear Elvis. That's cool.

I've been listening to this song for 40 years and never noticed who the backup singers were. Now that I've read this comment it is so clear to me and I can easily identify their voices. I'm amazed that I never noticed this before!

LOL!! Same here!

Wrong - "Slap and Tickle" is the worst song on the album .... and "Slap and Tickle" is a good song.
Fair enough.
Hey, anyone remember interesting chord progressions in pop?
Fun fact: Elvis Costello and Paul Young sing backup ("black, black, coffee in bed").
I can hear Paul but if Elvis is singing his mix is too low. Great tune BTW.
People were comparing them to the "next Beatles!"
But not until they were told by A&R people at the label and a critic or two that they were the next Beatles.
Then there's Steve Forbert being the next Dylan, also not his idea.
What a bunch of cobblers.
F#&ing cobblers.
Hum i just love this band, and this song, so you are now wrong
Yeah, how can one be so wrong? This is what pop ought to sound like. A 10 now and forever.
(IMHO)
What a bunch of cobblers.
Well someone did not had his coffee this morning !
