I heard it on holiday. It is downbeat, slow and quite simple with a female singer. The first verse or two mention waking up in the morning and burning a coffee. The chorus is just the singer saying "do do do-do do do-do-do..." in a similar tune to the chorus of Amy Macdonald- this is the life (57 seconds in).


The version I heard also had a male version singing some choruses so I think it was a remix. It was a fairly modern song; I think it is 2010 onwards but my girlfriend thinks it sounds more like early 2000s (Dido kind of time and style)

Any ideas?

Edit found it:

Suzanne Vega wrote the song in 1982 and it was released on her 1987 album Solitude Standing. The best known version is probably the remix by DNA featuring Suzanne's vocal.
