This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Lonely feeling
Deep inside
Find a corner
Where I can hide
Silent footsteps
Crowding me
Sudden darkness
But I can see
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow
In the silence
Of her mind
Quiet movements
Where I can find
Grabbing for me
With her eyes
Now I'm falling
From her skies
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow
Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind
'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all
Jocko said "No" when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight
'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all
(Lonely feeling) Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
(Deep inside) When we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide) When they're standing in each other's way
(Silent footsteps) You're tripping back now to places you've been to
(Crowding me) You wonder what you're gonna find
(Sudden darkness) You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
(But I can see) Before you leave 'em all far behind
'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Deep inside
Find a corner
Where I can hide
Silent footsteps
Crowding me
Sudden darkness
But I can see
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow
In the silence
Of her mind

Where I can find
Grabbing for me
With her eyes
Now I'm falling
From her skies
No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Ed Sheeran
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.
it's pretty good..not my fav though. i still prefer undun.
at the end of the dual song, when they're doing the "da da da" thing, if you listen closely you can hear a guy speaking saying "mother... nature... sugar... sugar... sugar... "
Anywhom, this song is about loneliness and not having your "sugar" or gf/bf to "stand beside me" and "run with me"
The lyrics are interesting tho, because they are hard to understand, almost like a paradox: "Silent footsteps crowding me" "Grabbing for me with her eyes" - which just makes the song even deeper
i first downloaded this thinking it was a grand funk song.. i loved it and downloaded more from the guess who, but the other songs are very lame.. like laughing and stuff like that.. does anyone have any recomendation? of songs that sounds more like no sugar tonight
These Eyes, American Woman, No Time Try these lol
@blaah Coming Down off the Money Bag / Song of the Dog<br /> <br /> Really unpopular but really good
@blaah <br /> <br /> I totally agree that there are the songs like Laughing and Undun that don't have the same feeling as No Sugar Tonight.<br /> <br /> But here are my favorite Guess Who songs (in order from best):<br /> <br /> Coming Down off the Money Bag / Song of the Dog<br /> No Sugar Tonight<br /> Proper Stranger<br /> American Woman<br /> Share the Land<br /> Bus Rider
This song is very good, I like it my fav GW song
The guitar intro and then the guitar with the drums, that's the coolest thing about this song!
obviously this is a medley with New Mother Nature...there's no argument with that.
It's about being alone, and knowing what you miss.
This is one of my favorite Guess who songs. It's an excellent tune!
To me this song is clearly about a cocaine, (sugar) addiction. The lyric, "now I'm falling from her skies", is a blatant metaphor for crashing from a coke high. The song just would not make sense if it was about a girl.
@jhalmeida i have to agree with you after carefully reading the lyrics. I am a guitar player and simply copied the lyrics to learn the song and began looking at it closely. Also do you think that the "corner basement" might be the place where the person could commit suicide with his "bag of goodies and Bottle of wine?" Just speculating.
i definately agree with jhalmeida. i think it's pretty clear that this song is not about a girl, but rather the devil's danfruff, the white lady, booger sugar, coke. in any instance, this is a tight groove. going from No Sugar Tonight into the New Mother Nature. good stuff
It refers to cocaine, or the lack of it "a bag of goodies and a bottle of wine, were going to get it on right tongith" "falling from her skies" its a bout a coke high.
