Cup of Brown Joy

Cup of Brown Joy is a song by Professor Elemental and the tenth and final track on the 2009 album The Indifference Engine. It was also released as a single prior to the release of the album.

Song Facts
The track was re-released on the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Indifference Engine. The liner notes describe the song as follows:

"It's a creative trusim that it's not always the things that you work the hardest on that bring you the most success. This song was created as a throwaway party song for the 'Come into My Parlour' show and I even recorded it while Tom was out of the room, knocking it out in a single take so that we could get on with something more substantial afterwards. Still though, ten years and literally thousands of performances later, this little ode to tea lives on. And thank god for it, this is the song that lead (sic) Moog to offer to make a video and after that, everything changed. Three cheers for Tom and for the beauty of a nice cup of tea."
