Music video [link]

The music video for Sugar Kane was directed by Nick Egan. The video is shot in New York City and portrays Sonic Youth performing in the midst of a fashion show showcasing "grunge" clothing. The clothing, in fact, is one of the collections done by Marc Jacobs, "Grunge Collection", for Perry Ellis in 1992. Marc is also a close friend to Kim Gordon and the band. The video also marks the first film appearance of Chloe Sevigny. The title may be connected to the Marilyn Monroe character 'Sugar' Kane Kowalczyk in Some Like It Hot.

Sugar Kane

by: Sonic Youth

You're perfect in the way, a perfect end today
You're burning out their lights, and burning in their eyes
I love you Sugar Kane, a-comin' from the rain
Oh kiss me like a frog, and turn me into flame
I love you all the time, I need you 8 to 9
And I can stay all night, your body shining
And I know there's something down there sugar soul
Back to the cross a twisted lane
There something down there Sugar Kane
I'm back again in love, I'm back again a dove
Where'd you get your light, your smilin' sugar life
Another lovers day, another cracked up night
Every night I say, the light is coming
And I know there's something down there sugar cone
Back to the cross a twisted lane
There's something down there Sugar Kane
Hey angel come and play, and fly me away
A stroll along the beach, until you're out of time
I love you Sugar Kane, a crack into the dream
I love you Sugar Kane, I love you Sugar Kane
I love you Sugar Kane, I love you Sugar Kane
