    LYRICS
    Skies are blue
    When I’m with you
    They turn to grey
    When you’re away
    I’m not your doll
    I’m not your pet
    But I’m not my own
    Ever since we met
    I edit my thoughts
    I edit my words
    I eat and drink
    Till nothing hurts
    But one of these days
    Love will turn to hate
    And I’ll bite the hand
    That feeds me cakes
    Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man
    Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy
    Sugar rot your teeth
    It’ll make you too high
    But there’s not a lot
    Sugar can’t buy
    In a world of salt
    Of sweat and tears
    Sometimes you need a little sugar
    To get through the years
    They set a big table
    Didn’t save you a seat
    Just find a lap to sit on
    And you’ll get something to eat
    When they serve the tea
    Watch the sugar dissolve
    Just don’t go confusing
    Sugar with Love
    Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man
    Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy
    My mama was cold
    And she was told
    She’d never been young
    So she never grew old
    She took a deep breath
    And never exhaled
    Lived the rest of her life
    From under a veil
    I grew up quick
    But I grew up strong
    Didn’t get to be
    her baby too long
    Whenever I’d eat
    I just craved sweet
    What I couldn’t get at home
    I got in the streets
    Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man, Sugar Man
    Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Daddy

    Regina really articulates the plights of women well her! The line of there's no seat at the table for you, so just find a lap to sit on, all too true about how women are expected to get things in their careers and lives 😔

    This track has a bit of cosmic/karmic irony feel to me.
    Especially appreciated the line about not confusing sugar with love.
    What a beautiful piece of songwriting, and that hook/chorus just kicks.
    I feel like Spektor really let her hair down on this album and had fun making it. Here, her voice serves as the ever present observer of human life.
    To me, this song speaks to the fantasy of the financially helpful, albeit temporary, story of a quid pro quo dater. Or a sugar baby.
    It looks like she becomes maligned or resentful or her benefactor, and is rebelling from the conservative nature of her mother while Seeking the love she is missing "on the street".

    Hello! I couldn´t find a comment saying what I am about to write, if somebody did, my apologies. I like Regina and her unique style but there is a "Nirvana- Oh me" rythm copied in here.... and Nirvana was actually doing a cover of the Meat Puppets... listen to it and tell me what you think..... I immediately started humming and remembered I had listened to that tune before

      I just listened to the Nirvana song and 5 seconds in I said yup, same tune. Doesn’t change how I feel about Regina’s version though (both this and Nirvana’s cover are a lot better than the Meat Puppets original)

    I hate to say it but...I feel like the world is filled with much more sweet these years than salt, and boy do I miss all those sweat and tears. I hate all the rotting teeth.
    In a world of salt
    Of sweat and tears

    To get through the years

      @chillpillology 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      i think you hope the term is dead, but it surely is not. it is as strong as ever, and many women are seeking it. Perhaps you want her to be politically correct, but understand that is about you. art describes life, whether it passes your desired tests or not. she is using it on her own terms. “Just don’t go confusing Sugar with love” “What I couldn’t get at home I got in the streets”. This is moving real life stuff, she is not here to fulfill your desired politic. Feel free to get over yourself and experience life as it is, not what you believe it should be. Idealism is killing the world.
