Sugar man, won't you hurry
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams

Sugar man, won't you hurry
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams

Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man

Silver magic ships you carry
Jumpers, coke, sweet Mary Jane

Sugar man, won't you hurry
'Cause I'm tired of these scenes
For a blue coin won't you bring back
All those colors to my dreams

Sugar man you're the answer
That makes my questions disappear

Sugar man
Sugar man
Sugar man

Bring back
Bring back
Bring back
Bring back
Bring back

All those colors to my dreams

Sugar man
Sugar man

Overall Meaning

The song "Sugar Man" by DCUP and Yolanda Be Cool is a modern take on the original song by the American singer-songwriter Rodriguez. The song tells the story of a person who is tired of living in a world filled with monotony and wants to escape to a world full of color and vibrancy. The singer pleads with the 'sugar man' to return all the colors to their dream world by offering a blue coin in exchange.


The lyrics are suggestive of an addiction with references to 'jumpers', 'coke' and 'sweet Mary Jane'. The writer was possibly inspired by the original song by Rodriguez which contained lyrics that had a cryptic message about drug use. The lyrics suggest that the singer is searching for a drug that will bring back all the colors to their dreams.


The use of the term 'Sugar man' in the song may refer to a person who deals in drugs, or it could mean an invoker of dreams. Sugar, in this case, could symbolize a substance that brings sweetness to life or a substance that can completely alter one's perception of reality. The song is open to interpretation and leaves the listener to connect the dots.

This is on every single popular radio station in Melbourne on nova, fox and kiss. It plays like every 2-3 hours. And it's always in the top 20 or 40 countdown, always near the top. I can see why. This songs beat is just way too good. And those lyrics are just too much to handle. Too good!

@ratudealere

I'm so obsessed with the song, it's really catchy
