Black Coffee in Bed" was the first single released from Squeeze's fifth album, Sweets from a Stranger. It peaked at number 51 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1982.
Chris Difford stated, "the lyric was inspired by my picking up my notebook one day and seeing a coffee stain on it, which inspired the first line. It was a very vivid image for me and inspired this song of loss and regret." It has what Difford called a "country metre" lyrically, but has a soul melody.
Done during the heyday of MTV, the video for the song implies that Chris Difford played the guitar solo, when it was in fact performed by Glenn Tilbrook. And a great, jazzy solo it is!
The video also implies that the backing vocals were performed by members of Squeeze, but backing vocals on "Black Coffee in Bed" were actually performed by guests Paul Young and Elvis Costello.
