| | Two Beds and A Coffee Machine Lyrics Artist(Band):Savage Garden
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 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 asleep 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 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 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 You know you're going to 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 If you find some error in Two Beds and A Coffee Machine Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

My mother left her fiance after putting up with the abuse for a long time.I was 6 years old when she packed up the car with my twin sister and I and left, stopping in various motels along the way. She always had to worry about the food and rent but somehow we all made it through. I see this song as a way to view my mothers perspective and see everything she went through to save us. I love her dearly. what it's really about | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/27/2007 this is a bigraphical song about darren's parents, and the tempestuous relationship they had when he was little. they fought constantly and she would move out and take the kids with her.but she would always go back. i think you need to look at the line 'been up half the night screaming'to see who the abuser is ...men don't scream. they used to be neighbours This song doesn't need picturization | Reviewer: Bains | 7/5/2007 According to me this song doesn't need picturization cause as you start reading the lyrics and you listen to the song you can make out the what situation is going on so i just wanted to say the wording are mind blowing and not match able to any other song...and of course the other songs of savage garden are amazing too I pray god should give birth to intelligent people like savage (garden band) Very big fan of Savage garden Bains Fashion Director www.happeningmanagement.com This a song about domestic violence | Reviewer: April Gossett | 5/2/2007 This song is from the womans' point of view, she is in an abusive relationship (checking that her husband is asleep, picking up broken glass and furniture and hiding bruises). So she packs up their kids and drives umtil she finds a hotel to check into(another ditch in the road, stop sign; two beds and a coffee machine is refering to a bare bones, cheap motel). She keeps going back to her abusive husband because she figures kids minds are resiliant(full of candy dreams, new toys and a another cheap hotel) and she feels she can't support their kids on her own (but there are groceries to buy and she knows she'll have to go home). This song does seem to switch between the third person like a story, to the first person like a journal entry (and the years go by so fast, wonder how I made it through). The last two especially seem to be from the perspective of the older child after he has grown up and thinks about his nightmarish childhood (silent fortress built to last, wonder how I ever made it). My mother-in-law was abused by her ex when my husband was 4 and his sister was 2 and she packed up her kids and fled with no turning back. I have also known several other women who have been abused by their husbands or boyfriends, with and without kids, so I know a little bit about this sort of experience and this song seems to be a real life take on this subject. Kudos to Savage Garden for having the guts to sing a song about domestic violence. P.S. My sister and I wonder if one of the band members had wrote this from the perspective of a personal experience. Brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/18/2007 This song has helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. Only Savage Garden Could Do such a brilliant song Thanks Lily Take it as it comes | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/9/2006 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 This is not necessarily for a broken couple.. any bad situation you over come in life... this songs conveys that kind of meaning to me... Life gives you all that it has... its how we take it as it comes... but what ever be the case.. you keep moving on... and some day you wonder how you made it through... hats off Savage gardern.. this song rocks! | Reviewer: Eng | 10/14/2005 It is a very good interpretation of the many perspectives involved with domestic violence. Adding to the other interpretations i perceived that the repetitive verses of the song enhances the repetitive sufferings that a person suffering from domestic voilence has to undergo. Moreover, it assentuates their trapped feelings and how it is not easy to just drop everything and go and also how they can be ashamed of telling someone to get this problem actually dealt with properly. I believe that this song provides a really good voice to those people who lack it. It increases our understanding of them and it deals with the realities of life. Sometimes, we may just be so tired of listening to stupid love songs. Savage Garden only could you have put light into such a complex situation. Thank you so much! Interpretation ^^ | Reviewer: Alexander Chang | 6/20/2005 Wow, I'm impressed by the song. I was charmed with Savage Garden in 1998! First of all, I think most of the time the addresser says the whole story in the first person perspective. (He refers to himself in the third person in some "stanza"* though.) As you hear in the first stanza, there might be domestic violence that makes the couple wanna put an end to their relationship. And I've been thinking the domestic violence for a while. It seems it is the addressee, the lady, who attacks the adresser, the man. That's why she has to pick up the broken glass ,hide her bruise, and write an alibi. So the poor addresser is somehow heartbroken but he still loves her so much. (I guess their children play a crucial role here.) As the lyrics goes, you find the addresser starts to refer himself in the first person. Seems he's waiting for his mate to come back with their lovely children, but obvioulsy there's a long way for the addressee to go. That's why the addresser says "wonder how I ever made it through." We can imagine the total agony he suffers. How pathetic! As for "two beds and a coffee machine," erm, I don't know for sure. They are possibly important symbols for the couple. Ohh, hold on, I get an idea. They don't have a happy healthy relationship, right? So maybe from the very beginning they've slept in differnt beds. The only connection ties them up is the coffee machine, which they need so badly everyday. And the coffee machine could be considered a symbol paralleling their kids. What do you think? Hmmm, I've been talking way too much. Thank you for reading this article. My interpretation is likely to be nonsense, so if you have any new ideas, let's have them. =) * Since it's not a poem, I shouldn't call that a "stanza," but I just cannot find a proper word for it. Paragraph? Column? No. >< # BTW, I'm a Taiwanese college student (English major).

Thank you | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/12/2005 Thank you This song helped me through a really difficult time im my life and it suppriseed me how much the song relates to what happend to me. i played it over and over until i realised that there is light at the end of the tunel and thngs do get better.
