Lyric discussion by LefterisLalos 

Cover art for Another Cup Of Coffee lyrics by Mike And The Mechanics

This one deals with several matters concerning couples but more specific, it's about

1) A man who got involved with a girl he didn't actually love and married her -probably soon after- because it seemed the "proper" thing to do, at that time.

After several years he felt trapped in his everyday life and when he realised that people in his invironment (wife, family, friends & colleagues) couldn't understand his needs, he tried to change his life by going away, leaving just empty spaces in the life of a woman that still loved him...

Sign: probably Aquarius

2) A woman who really loved this man and devoted her life to him without -unfortunately- asking something in return (not even to be loved by him). She didn't realise that he didn't love her back. She was also probably responsible for the loss of the erotic flame in their relationship (he was probably her first lover or she was mistreated by her former lover). She let her housewife routine lead her into misery and self pity... but he never did something to reverse this situation. She was once probably "excellent" material for "The Love Of Her Life" but it wasn't him. She has actually herself to blame for believing his lies and not seing through him.

Sign: probably Cancer or Pisces

Though the songs ending goes from sad memories to hope, I would rather say:

What a waste of time, what a waste of Life!

PS This song could actually be a sequel of the 1979 song "The Worker" by "Fisher-Z"
