This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Speed toward hell
Shed no tears
You don't know me
Take my life
Steal my tongue
To defeat your taste
Could never criticize
No better than me
Better than you
It's easier to lie
Than to tell the truth
You've become the waste that I despise
Speed toward hell
Shed no tears
You don't know me
Take my life
Steal my tongue
To defeat your taste
Could never criticize
No better than me
Better than you
It's easier to lie
Than to tell the truth
You've become the waste that I despise
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
The trance is the motion [Repeats]
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
Shed no tears
You don't know me
Take my life
Steal my tongue
To defeat your taste
Could never criticize
No better than me
Better than you
It's easier to lie
Than to tell the truth
You've become the waste that I despise
Speed toward hell
Shed no tears
You don't know me
Take my life
Steal my tongue
To defeat your taste
Could never criticize
No better than me
Better than you
It's easier to lie
Than to tell the truth
You've become the waste that I despise
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution
The trance is the motion [Repeats]
This is the motion of the new revolution
This is the motion of the new revolution

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

i always thought it was "steal my tongue to DEFEND your taste"
it makes more sense that way, but on closer listening i do think he says "defeat"
