Does ANYONE know this song?

[truthbetold]

I'm currently addicted to it...and oldie but a goodie.

"No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature"

{"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, where 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 to 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 "No Sugar Tonight" sung simultaneously with
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

-The Guess Who

[redqueen]

1. Of course!

I love the Guess Who. :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Does anyone not know that song?

:shrug:

[XanaDUer]

3. Yes, I know it

Burton Cummings?

Guess Who?

[Bluzmann57]

4. Yes indeed!

Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman and Kurt Peterson and the other guy(I can't remember his name right now). If you can find it, get their LP or CD entitled "Wheatfield Soul". Excellent tunes, in particular, "Friends of Mine".

[truthbetold]

5. Just makin' sure.

My mother said this used to be the "cool song" when she went to school. And I thought most DUers are cool, they HAVE to know it!

[Gildor Inglorion]

6. Certainly!

I always loved it - and just about everything else the Guess Who did. Even "American Woman," bitter diatribe that it was.

[redqueen]

7. Bitter diatribe?

It's a great song! Clearly an indictment of America's culture-raping ways, is it not?

[RandomKoolzip]

9. It somehow manages to be sexist and anti-American at once.

I always heard it as being a sexist diatribe: the woman as symbol of all that is corrupt and evil. And she's American to boot!

[redqueen]

10. I never got that

I always figured the American woman as a metaphor for America.

And yeah I agree about the anti-Americanism, but this was during Vietnam, no?

[johnnie]

11. I always heard it about getting stoned

The new Mother nature. A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine.

[Gildor Inglorion]

13. Sure...and now that I think about it

I always thought there was something intensely homo-erotic about "New Mother Nature." Of course, I thought that about most things back then, and I was right! :9

8. The first band to come to my college in 1970

of my freshman year :sigh:.

I love the Guess Who.

[Droopy]

12. I used to jam that tune constantly back in my new mother nature days

if you know what I mean.
