Savage Garden - Two Beds and a Coffee Machine /w lyrics

[@flayremoon]

One of the most beautiful songs. Still remember the lyrics 24 years after I first heard this song

[@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo]

Man this still hits hard I was the kid in this scenario but both of them were exactly the same so didn't even have a sane adult figure during childhood. left home at 13 to go live on the streets 37 now it's been a long one haha if you're listening to this you're a survivor keep on keeping on you beautiful thing.

I don't want to be the survivor I am... It just me and my dreams, all alone. It doesn't have any sense.

Every time I hear this song by Darren Hayes it always makes me cry because it reminds me of my dad hitting my mum and couldn’t do anything thing to have stoped him I was only a stupid school kid but it didn’t stop me going out on a Friday and a Saturday night looking for her when she never came back in with him and when I found her she would be covered in blood after he hit her. Sadly my mum died a few years ago I still miss her so much I still can’t forgive myself for letting her down.I still love you mum even though she’s not here.

🥺😣😢😢

[@blazay4174]

You never let her down, and she wouldn’t ever have thought you did. She would never have wanted you to end up hurt instead. A mother’s love is so intense. I know you wrote your comment two years ago so you may not read it, but your comment is so touching and sad and I had to reply. I have young kids and I know 100% that she wouldn’t have wanted you to put yourself in the way when he was hitting her. But she would always remember how you came looking for her and probably cry about how much you had to see as a child. Please don’t ever think you let her down. You were probably the only bright thing in her life and her rock and would’ve meant more to her than you can understand. ♥️

I had the hit album: Affirmation on repeat on my stereo, And on my walkman, hearing it in my friends houses + it blasting out other peoples cars etc

[@irenewalker7898]

Ok guys. This used to be(still is by nightmares) my song First marriage was abuse and lasted 7 years Second one was like living in hell. I endured every single kind of abuse.At first it wasn't that bad. But slowly got worse. That is what happens, then the doubt comes in. After being told over and over year after year,no one loves or likes you. I finally got out, but to the price of me and my children. But they are the ones that got me out. I thank them and at the same time tell them how sorry I am for the years of abuse we all went through.I was married to the second for at least 10 years. I don't even try to remember anything about him or any dates. Some I can't get rid of though. All I can say, is reach out! SO much more help now. Please leave before it is too late!!! So thank you Savage Garden, you put this issue out there.

Shame on you for leaving the kids behind. At least you should hve called social services to save them. You say he may have killed you one day, well he could have killed one of them since you ran away. Very selfish!!!!!

[@mathewsmith4646]

Nancy Krause don't assume she didn't call the police, violence against women is still very real even now in 2017, I just hope that her step children are fine and grow up to be good people unlike there father, my mom was in the same boat, my brother and I grow up with the best step father ever, so just think about this my father always says "don't assume it makes an ass out of you and me"

[@TheLodjur]

@@LucyLoversmia. Shame on her for leaving kids that aren't hers, where you in your right mind while typing that? She has no legal right to the kids, taking them with her would result in kidnap charges, her hands are tied. Why assume she didn't call cps? Besides that, what the heck do you expect her to do, stay and take some more beatings? Stay and be killed? That would have helped the children how? You seriously mean that if she stayed and he killed her, he definitely would not kill any of the kids. Yeah, that's logical... It's crappy responses like yours that further shames people (more often women) to stay in abusive situations. Your statements are ridiculous and YOU should be ashamed for not only writing such short-sighted garbage but aiming it directly towards someone who may already suffer from underserved guilt from doing the right thing. The shame is his, for beating her, she has done nothing wrong.

Thanks for the song, it's literally helped me & mine keep moving on...

[@markburke2075]

Always loved this song, so many memories stirred up but not good ones but I’ve made it through ❤

[@marieblue]

This is about a woman who’s trapped in an abusive relationship. To protect herself and her children, she often runs away and spends the night at cheap hotels, with two beds and a coffee machine. Hence the title. She knows that she can’t survive on her own, and eventually she will have to go back home. Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes tapped into his own childhood experiences of domestic violence to pen “Two Beds and a Coffee Machine” (1999) for the Australian duo’s second studio album “Affirmation” (1999). He said that the song is “about an alcoholic, wife-beating dad and how me and my mum travelled from motel to motel with me with a black eye.” Hayes recalled : “This was coming out in a period when Spice Girls, NSync and MTV’s TRL were huge. I’m proud that in the midst of it all - manufactured and often contrived pop music - we were allowed to write songs like that which were wise beyond our years.” Being wise is great. Being wise beyond one’s years IS NOT when it stems from brutality ‼️ Let’s agree, fellow KZbinrs : THERE SHOULD BE ZERO TOLERANCE TOWARDS VIOLENCE❕ AND ZERO TOLERANCE = 100 % INTOLERANCE❕💙⛔️💚

this song breaks my heart its so sad. its about a lady that is abused by her husband and keeps going away but having to come back to him

[@sarahnovak261]

That's kinda obvious.

[@demonaicunicorn]

The kind of spouse this song is about is a type of person with so much evil in them that they no longer have the ability to tell right from wrong or abusive sex from love. This type of person usually has a “dead emptiness” in their eyes that indicate a total and often irreversible absence of human emotional capacity in the heart or mind of whatever is left of their heartless soul.

[@LucyLoversmia.]

I left after 3 years of marriage and couseling. It made no difference. My kids are both grown now and he is in their life by their own choice. I am expected to go to holidays with him. I wonder if they realize how frightened I am still of this man they call dad. My youngest doesn't remember it all but I know my oldest does because she was hit and thrown through more than one doorway, ending up bloody and then I just said enough! I am a minister now and I cannot get close to anyone. I cannot trust a man to love me and not beat me. I've had counseling, it just makes no difference. No one knows how bad it is until they live it. Judging is easy. Try living it.God bless anyone who has been through this. I know that it happens to men too. Not just women. Do not love so deeply that you allow this in your life. It is not necessary. Being a single parent is hard but a lot easier than living with this.

[@noelclark449]

It WILL continue to hurt, sweetheart. The pivotal point is what you do with that pain. I became an advocate and I use my pain to help other women. I strive every day to put an end to this treatment of women, I use the fire lit by the abuse, the anger in my heart to fight for women. You can let it make you a victim or you can stand and be a survivor. What you do with this experience makes every difference in the world. I've got your back!
