Spare Change For Coffee

Hello Rob,

Fantastic song as always. I wish the lyrics had been posted up so that I could read them along with the song, but luckily the vocals were clear enough that I could still hear them.

Thanks for the share!

Hi Ember. I will post the lyrics. Sorry bout that

Spare Change for Coffee Lyrics

It’s a Sunday morning I’m feeling dead.
Maybe I should just stay in bed.
I fumble with my clothes and I stumble cross the room.
Into the kitchen I’ve got no food.
I look everywhere but it wrecks my mood.
And there’s no kind of coffee to be brewed.

Chorus
I got spare change for coffee or maybe a slice of cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.
Bridge
Chorus
But I got spare change for coffee or maybe a slice of cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.

My heads kinda cloudy I’m also lost.
Bills piling up in the letter box.
I look down the road and the bus is running late.
Leave me more time to contemplate.
Why I didn’t stay in bed more late.
Fed-up facing all the pressures that I dread.

Chorus
But I got I got spare change for coffee or maybe some ice-cream cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.
But I got some spare change for coffee or maybe some Madeira cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.
I got some spare change for coffee or maybe some Madeira cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.
I got spare change for coffee or maybe some chocolate cake.
Some spare change for coffee and that will be my fate.

Sounds really good with brilliant lyrics and vocals.

You should do some serious mixing with this as it is a hit.

Vocals are far too loud and the instruments track too clinical should have some space, ambience , because if it was good enough to write then its good enough to produce, would look forward to hearing this with a bit more work on it.


just my critique . best

Cool tune Rob. Guitar was excellent. Cool mix.

Hi Rob.

I've just realised that I'm gonna be singing that chorus for the rest of the day!

And that says it all, really.

Fabulous.

ROG.

Infectious that one is...really sticks with you.

Cool lyric, vocal performance and production.

Kudos!

J&B

You did a good job on that, Rob. Having the bass carry the load worked really well. Nice technique - haven't heard anyone do that before.

Cool song man!

Rob,
Love the bass line and the infectious chorus- cool collaboration.
Some funny images in the video too.
I enjoyed that pick me up!

Robert

Hello Beatmaster. Thanks for the advice.
Rob.

Thank you Scott. Rob

Hey Rog. Thanks for the great comment. Rob

Enjoyed it all.
Really good fun.
Like the video of the guitar playing in particular.
Thumbs up.
Cheers.

Drinking coffee as this plays through. Great wake up song. Nicely done.

Charlie

What a tune, Rob! You nailed this one - it is the perfect level of catchy here, and I found the arrangement on this tune to sound professional and well thought out. It reminds me of Asleep At The Wheel a little bit, but of course with your own touch.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing

Hi Rob and Harrold,

Great song. The vocals and backing tracks are terrific. I don't drink coffee (almost 71 years old and perhaps 10 cups of coffee in my life), but an ice cold Dr pepper would work instead. A real catchy song that stays with the listener. That's a good thing! Enjoyed this s a bunch - you have a great song and a great delivery of it.

Best to you,

Alan
