Black Coffee

Black Coffee - Sinead O'Connor ---

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome,

haven't slept a wink

I walk the floor and watch

the door and in between

I drink black coffee

Love's hand me down broom

I'll never know a Sunday

In this weekday room

I'm talkin' to the shadows

One o'clock till four

And Lord, how slow

the moments go

When all I do is pour

black coffee

Since the blues caught my eye

I'm hangin'out on Monday

my Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a lovin'

A woman's born to weep and fret

To stay at home and

tend her over

And drown het past regrets

in coffee and cigarettes!

I'm moanin' all the mornin'

And mournin' all the night

And in between it's nicotine

And not much heart to fight

black coffee

Feelin'low as the ground

It's drivin' me crazy

This waiting for my baby

To maybe come around

@rayva1 , the version they still have here do indeed sound weak. She's older and doesn't have the sexy little edge she does in the one I reference. Unfortunately, they've twice removed it--a lovely version Mouskouri did back in the '60's. It's in B/W, Quincy Jones introduces her, and they're surrounded by African art pieces--it's VERY authentically 1960's. It's still delicate, but cool and jazzy nonetheless. Maybe it'll appear again sometime; we can only hope!

@CriticalListener: Pfft. Her 'Black Coffee' sounds a bit weak. I was just listening to kd Lang's version 'bout a few seconds ago.

I like Sinead...but this is not comparable with Julie London, Ella, Peggy Lee et al. It just doesn't match her voice. Her voice is too "dribbly" for this song...

Re: Nana Mouskouri, there is occasionally a version from the early '60's which doesn't seem to be around right now. You can tell it by the black & white film, and the African art in the beginning; I believe Quincy Jones introduces her. The live version which is more recent is NOT the one that's as good, or as interesting.

Interesting version, interesting arrangement.. This one sounds like she's actually been drinking all that black coffee, with the tremble in her voice. Certainly more nervous and frail a persona than the usual way it's sung. For another interesting version, find Nana Mouskouri (her version pops up & disappears). It, too, is a more delicate interpretation, but also jazzy and cool, in the '60's sense, which is when it's from. Check it out, o ye hipsters...

For once I like Sinead's style. Coffee delivered with a large dash of vulnerability. The cry of a wounded woman. . .not a ballsy-bluesy spit-in-yer-eye song, as some would treat this one.
