Two Beds and a Coffee Machine
| Straight from Savage Garden... |
"This is a very raw song, about an uncomfortable topic: abuse in a relationship, from the perspective of looking back after the whole thing is finished. We wrote this very quickly in the studio. Walter Afanasieff is such an amazing musician that we asked him to play the piano part. It was about 3:00 in the morning, and I was in another room to him recording my vocals for the demo. We flew to New York to record all of the vocals for the album, but we ended up using the original demo vocal for this song because it was the best performance. It's not perfect, but we liked it that way. It has so much emotion, because that was the first time I'd sung it all the way through." -Darren Hayes "It's a beautiful, pure, honest, and sad song. There's really nothing else that needs to be said." -Daniel Jones |

and she takes another step / slowly she opens the door / check that he is sleeping / pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor / been up half the night screaming / now it's time to get away / pack up the kids in the car / another bruise to try and hide / another alibi to write -->chorus: another ditch in the road you keep moving / another stop sign you keep moving on / and the years go by so fast / wonder how I ever made it through and there are children to think of / baby's alseep in the backseat / wonder how they'll ever make it / through this living nightmare / but the mind is an amazing thing / full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel / two beds and a coffee machine / but there are groceries to buy / and she knows she'll have to go home -->chorus another bruise to try and hide / another alibi to write / another lonely highway in the black of night / but there's hope in the darkness / and know you're gonna make it another ditch in the road keep moving / another stop sign you keep moving on / and the years go by so fast / silent fortress built to last / wonder how I ever made it |
