Phish - Sugar Shack Lyrics

Does anyone actually know what this song is about?

To me it seems like a story of a bad trip in the woods, then he goes to a cabin and steals food to make the trip better? But then gets caught and has to escape.

@Trey Kelly no it is acually about Native Americans being forced to work for the whitey listen closely oh Phish xo

I know exactly what this song is about people miss my sense of irony, for sake of heaven listen to the lyrics...so horrible

@CorrieLyn Moormann Cross That's interesting I like this song more now

can't even build a foundtain but fishman and I can both jerk off on chatroulette but sense my snger doesn[t snort something on stage i'm not cool phish knows what people smoke ni the venue.

I named my old cat after this song.

This. Album is killer.wow.lot of good songs

holy shit someayall need to chill

this song really is shit.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO THUMB DOWN ;_;

this is one of their most easy-to-ingest songs, short and sweet, and the true gem on Joy. A beautiful and special song to me for sure.

It's not a quote. That's original. And trust me there's no smugness involved. This is from basic english courses....

That's what I thought. All pathos, no logos.

lol alright "Brah" go smoke another one

If it's so obvious why couldn't you tell us what I'm so ignorant about? I'm not upset at all, like I said before, this is entertainment. And wait, I'm upset that I organize my 'comeback' (LOL grow up) in Roman numerals?

I'm sorry if you can't handle someone organizing their ideas with a roman numeral outline. I wouldn't recommend reading anything regarding philosophy or logic if you don't like this system of outline.

Have a nice day.

lol quit acting like you know what you're talking about because you obviously don't. You're just upset that I called you out for being a douchebag, which you are, due to the fact that you organize you comeback in roman numerals you little queerbait

I. You do not have inner peace, that is apparent by your need to incorporate irrelevant and ignorant verbal abuses.

II. You assume that I smoke weed on a regular basis, which is not true. I've liked Phish since I was 5 years old, long before I ever even knew what weed was.

III. Your hypocrisy was actually very entertaining when I realized that you were and still are criticizing my terminology for criticizing someone elses.

IV. The difference is mine was an inquiry, whereas yours was an attack

whenever I listen to Down with Disease, I can't help but sing, "A thousand angry children outside....DANCIN' ON MIKE'S LAWN!!"

hydrogen is Mike's song?! Man I'm starting to realize that most of my absolute favorite songs are written by Mike(mound, weigh, fikus, scent of a mule, MEAT, fuck your face). That guy is a fuckin' genius!

lol stfu douchebag I find enough inner peace in music....not sayin I don't smoke, but I'm not a piece of shit like you that NEEDS weed to have inner peace....why don't you pick up a book and try to expand your mind instead of dulling it down with weed all the time

I think you should try smoking some weed man. Try to find inner peace.

Well if it isn't the pot calling the kettle black

what? did he not use the proper stoner/burnout terminology? We don't all have the same weed lingo so quit trying to call him out douchebag hahaha

"i'm not a big phish fan, but I like a lot of their songs".........huh?

god this solo is so wierd... 9/4

i dont look to studio albums for jams, i search live albums. 2000+ songs of phish on my ipod, love every bit of it

@geeongee123 I agree with all your comments, but I feel like Mike's new sound is his best. or maybe its just that he is the total leader of Phish now, as opposed to 91-94 when treys shreds ruled the band.

@theweedkid1 rofl cheifin buds? You've never been to amsterdam have you?

MIKE CONT.... Sadly, I've read that the Dragon Bass was stolen....but his soundman made it for him, jus get a new one!!! He shud def bring it back and alternate using the Modulus and the old sound....the deeeeep Mike thunder....not just the new age funk. New school Phish is good, but a show from 91-94 is magical

Yea yo, Mikes vocals ROCK!!! check out a good version of Quinn if u can find it...his voice is different and AWESOME. Cactus is my favorite musician of all time no doubt....allll thru the Phish years hes the only one who took it super serious....his dedication is hard to match...even in 2004...the darkest Phish year of them all, Mike ripped the house up with his bass. The only negative thing I gota say is that I wish he wud bring back the dragon bass....the bass he used from 88ish thru 97

me likey cactus!

righteous guitar solo

@ArseneWengerIsGod. awesome have fun. hopefully youll get your anger problems straightened out by the time you return.

@ArseneWengerIsGod. thank you. now go see a phish show...have a beer...quit talking on the internet. have some fun if you still can.

All I'm saying is...

Mike's Song > Sugar Shack > Weekapaug Groove

@wholewheatbagel Dude this comment had me in tears laughing!!! That was funny as shit!

@Dedhedted71. Esther as well if you change a few words here and there.

It was late one fall night at a boathouse near town
When Esther first saw the Jewish man
Who groveled toward her and stood by her side
With a camera that swung in his hand

Is it just me or does the lyrics of this song remind anyone of a certain infamous incident involving Mike, a remote bath house, angry parents, & a 9 year old girl? I'm just sayin'! If not then what the hecks it about?

MIKEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@bibblemethis Sounds like the pattern is in 9/8 (can be counted as 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5) and the ride is doing 4/4 over it.

i like how the positive reviews of joy have a minus rating.

i got this from a friend and just like any band thats been around for a while i didn't expect this to compare but boy was i wrong. Some of my favorite phish stuff is on this album

Great CD all the way start to finish

Yeah, this is nice... I love any song Mike can sing and get down on. I'm addicted to this song.

lol, thats a good thing right?

love mike's voice

The amount of significance that comment has is pretty mediocre.

this album owns my balls

Yeah this song is amazing! Mike's vocals sound great.
