{"No Sugar Tonight"}

Lonely feelin' deep inside

Find a corner where I can hide

Silent footsteps crowdin' 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



Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow



In the silence of her mind

Quiet movements, well, I can find

Grabbin' for me with her eyes

Now I'm fallin' 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



Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow un-dow-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow



{"New Mother Nature"}

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 standin' in each other's way

You're driven back now to places you've been to

You're wonderin' 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 takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all



Jocko said no when I came back last time

It's lookin' like I lost a friend

No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'

And I'm gettin' pretty near the end

A smoke-filled room in a corner basement

The situation must be right

A bag o' goodies and a bottle o' wine

We're gonna get it on right tonight



'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all

1st verse of "New Mother Nature"}

Lonely feelin'

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 standin' in each other's way

Silent footsteps

You're driven back now to places you've been to

Crowdin' me

You're wonderin' 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 takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all



Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow
