as far as i know, she wrote this over her divorce, she even cut her hair and dyed it too, it must have been really hard, no matter how gorgeous, talented, unique female you are, no one of us is saved from pain
LYRIC: You tell me you don't love me Over a cup of coffee And I just have to look away A million miles between us Planets crash into dust I just let it fade away I'm walking empty streets Hoping we might meet I see your car parked on the road The light on at your window I know for sure that you're home But I just have to pass on by So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still this obsessed I guess I always knew the score This is how our story ends I smoke your brand of cigarettes And pray that you might give me a call I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls Hanging round bars at night Wishing I had never been born And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I still feel like this I guess I always knew the score This is where our story ends You left behind some clothes My belly somersaults When I pick them off the floor My friends all say they're worried I'm looking far too skinny I've stopped returning all their calls And no of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still so obsessed I want to ask where I went wrong But don't say anything at all It took a cup of coffee To prove that you don't love me
@pentas exactly. it's the most depressing song in the entire world, and at the same time the most beautiful. shirley should go down in history as one of the greatest talents of our time.
I'd never hear it until tonight. I've listened to it like 20 times. It's beautiful, touching, , poignant, and so sad. I get it, Shirley...I GET it ....xoxo
"I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet I see your car parked on the road Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home It took a cup of coffee To prove that you don't love me" Wow. So heartbreakingly strong and true.
I forgot about Garbage. I used to like that CD with the song "I'm only happy when it rains". It takes a long time to grow old. I read that once on a quilt in a thrift store in Asheville NC and looking at her in this video I beleive it.
I saw Shirley in this tour at a festival in Atlanta.I loved her look in all white with the black boots and this hair, she just looked so stunningly like porcelain with a real kick🌹the only way you can describe this woman is just unbelievably beautifully unique🌹
So no of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still this obsessed... You just feel the emotion in this song and Shirls sings it so well. We've all been there.
beautiful live!! Shirley Manson,, we see you're a very sensitive person, with deep emotions, all i can say is that maybe you were never wrong but love is a complicated thing and you show us you are a true passionate woman. thank you for being so human and let feel it through your song. A french fan , sorry for my mistakes
This song kicks so much ass Garbage had to get their boots re-soled so they could continue to kick even more ass! Bravo! Cup of Coffee is one of my ALL TIME FAVS!
She also a great actress. I am watching her play a terminator that is head of a corporation. She plays this straight faced looking boss out to kill John Connor on the reruns of season two of-Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles .Watch it if you can find it.
so no of course we can't be friends not while i still feel like this i guess i always knew the score this is where our story ends yes true words.... really true....
I really like how on the video we could actually hear the performance. A lot of times the random cheering during always makes me turn away from watching a live show.
