{"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

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
