Story Behind The Song
Well, as the lyricist I thought of a song about coffee and how it was a shared worldwide obsession.
I actually thought of it as a smooth, silky, Sade sort of a song, but Rob took it in another direction (doesn't that so often happen?) so now it's got South African guitar, Caribbean steel drums, a shot of calypso and all sorts of eclectic influences. We think it's fun - hope you all do too.
Song Description
Sung by Mark Agyei, a former UK X-Factor contestant and all-round good guy, it's a hymn to the great roasted coffee bean in all its forms.
Coffee is one of the things that unites all nations. And coffee shops are the greatest places for meeting, hanging, out. people watching and savouring the java..

Lyrics
CAFÉ SOCIETY
©Rob Benham/Chris Ring
Well, it tastes so good...
Mm, like java should
Café Society...
Café Society...
I'm tasty as a coffee bean,
Sweet like syrup, smooth as cream,
From your magic moka machine
Gimme gimme gimme caffeine...
Meeting where my friends all meet
People-watching in the street
Get the buzz, love the heat
Feel the lift in my heartbeat
Oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - it's a worldwide trend
Oh oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - It's never gonna end
Oh oh oh
Loving the java -
Living so lush -
Heat me like lava -
I'm gettin' the rush
Café Society
Whoa, it tastes so good
Café Society
Mm, like java should
Savouring my every drop
Sipping like it's Turkish ground
Makes me feel so warm inside
Feel the love, it's all around
Meeting where my friends all meet
People-watching in the street
Get the buzz, love the heat
Feel the lift in my heartbeat
Oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - it's a worldwide trend
Oh oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - It's never gonna end
Oh oh oh
Loving the java -
Living so lush -
Heat me like lava -
I'm gettin' the rush
Café Society
Whoa, it tastes so good
Café Society...
Come on come on, yeah yeah,
Come on come on, yeah yeah,
Come on come on, yeah yeah,
Ah, let's go...
I'm tasty as a coffee bean,
Sweet like syrup, smooth as cream,
From your magic moka machine
Gimme gimme gimme caffeine...
Oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - it's a worldwide trend
Oh oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - It's never gonna end
Oh oh oh
Loving the java -
Living so lush -
Heat me like lava -
I'm gettin' the rush
Oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - it's a worldwide trend
Oh oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - It's never gonna end
Oh oh oh
Loving the java -
Living so lush -
Heat me like lava -
I'm gettin' the rush
Don't forget your mocha
Your espresso, latté
I said, don't forget your mocha
Your espresso, latté
Café Society
Café Society
Mmm, like java should
Oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - it's a worldwide trend
Oh oh oh - Café Society
Oh oh oh - It's never gonna end
Oh oh oh
Loving the java -
Living so lush -
Heat me like lava -
I'm gettin' the rush
Don't forget your mocha
Your espresso, latté
I said, don't forget your mocha
Your espresso, latté
