Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That man is bad
The road he drives you down
Oh sugar, it's a drag
The road it twists
The road is crossed
It's down that road
A lot of little girls go lost
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
He will drive ya on
Until the city of right
Becomes the city of wrong
Man, that stretch is far
You'll slip and slide
That stretch will find you
Gagged and tied
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That assembly of sin
Like a lamb to a knife
You followed him in
He will laugh
And hang your sheets to see
The tokens of your virginity
You'll be his queen for the night
But in the morning you'll wake
With the lords and high ladies
Of the bottom of the lake
Sugar sugar
Honey you're so sweet
But beside you baby
Nothing can complete
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
Honey you're so sweet
But beside you baby
A bad man sleeps
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (honey)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
And get down on your knees and pray
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
That man is bad
And that's the bottom baby
Coming right up ahead
You can smell his fear
All his fucking love
As he wipes his mouth
On your altar cloth
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
Try to understand
I'm an angel of god
I'm your guardian
He smells your innocence
Like a dog he comes
And like all the dogs he is
I shot him down
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
I can't explain
Must I kill that cocksucker
Everyday?
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (you better pray-pray)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
('Cause your daddy he ain't far away)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (your daddy he ain't far away)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (your daddy come to take you away)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
Get down on your knees, and pray
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (your daddy he ain't far away)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray (yeah baby, you're tender prey)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray ('cause yeah baby, you're tender prey)
You better pray, baby
Pray baby, pray baby
You better pray
That man is bad
The road he drives you down
Oh sugar, it's a drag
The road it twists
The road is crossed
It's down that road
A lot of little girls go lost
Sugar, Sugar, Sugar
He will drive ya on
Until the city of right
Becomes the city of wrong
Man, that stretch is far
You'll slip and slide

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song reminds me of the Wolfman type situation, where a man understands the creature he is, and warns potential victims of the impending doom. Foreshadows the structure of another great biography-turn-autobiography fable "Song of Joy."
Awesome tune too, just plain fun to listen to. I know those are the lyrics, they're in the booklet - but seriously, and maybe someone can tell me i'm crazy please, but i try to hear him say "Tender Prey" at the end, and it always just sounds like Baby Pray....am i nuts?
