Coffee my Dear

from When Did it Change? by Dawn Barrington

/

about

This song was politically inspired and touches on the very real issue of climate change and global warming and it's impact on financial inequality across the nations. I have used the theme of opulence and poverty to bring it home. The chorus is just a distraction or prop to emphasise the futility of it all.

lyrics

CHORUS
So how do you take your coffee my dear
Would the be straight, frothy or clear
Ohhhhh ooooohhhh ohhhhhh
Ohhhhh ooooohhhh ohhhhhh

VERSE 1
Do you feel the wind touch your face?
Do you hear what it says
That it just let the coast of Africa
Where they are dying to say how much hunger is there
But they’re afraid we won’t hear a sound
Yes they’re afraid we won’t hear their words

CHORUS
So how do you take your coffee my dear
Would the be straight, frothy or clear
So how do you take your coffee my dear
Would the be straight, frothy or clear
Ohhhhh ooooohhhh ohhhhhh
Ohhhhh ooooohhhh ohhhhhh

VERSE 2
Do you feel the rain touch your cheeks
Hear it tell you where it’s been
Came from India helped the land slip away
Crushed some people, took their dreams away
But they’re afraid we’ve heard it all before
And all we’ll do is close the door

CHORUS

How do you take your coffee my dear (fade out)
