In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Take a look around baby
You know my whole crews ulgy
But we still got the most game,
The most money
The most hoes, the most hunnies
It's so funny how you hate my fucking guts
But in the same time love me
From the leakage in the gold to low rider by
You always say you hate it
But I know that you lie
What you see is what you get
Nothing more, nothing less
I'm chillin smoking chronic
While you're choking on stress
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
I see you're mad at the fact that my pockets stay fat
It's the cash I made the whack on the cocaine sacks
It's the craw foam rich or the one that you lack
I wish you would come around, I'd lay you flat on your back
You better hope you fucking miss me if you see me drinking whiskey
You know me and diablo get way passed tipsy
When the drunk's highly sober
I'm still getting over
It's passed three am and the tokes with the joker
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
I never sing another
I only shout
Coming clean forever
Without a doubt
I got machine gun trigger
You better watch out
Yeah, transplants don't give a fuck
That's where we're at
So, here we come with the original style
I said who the fuck are you
I've been here for a while
You got a be and mental flyers
And runnin in my set (???)
Transplants are fearless
And the most original
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
you think I give a fuck
Well you better think twice
US thugs, wolfpack
And I ain't nothing nice
Check the 30 time
Lyrically committing hate crimes
News from the corner, my mic
Now it's hang time
Throw my minds with rhymes
Designs will break spins
Transplants coming through
And we're one of a kind
With the chrome, take a dope
Make you flip like a flapjack
Two tall cans and a packet of blackjack
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
You know my whole crews ulgy
But we still got the most game,
The most money
The most hoes, the most hunnies
It's so funny how you hate my fucking guts
But in the same time love me
From the leakage in the gold to low rider by
You always say you hate it
But I know that you lie
What you see is what you get
Nothing more, nothing less
I'm chillin smoking chronic
While you're choking on stress
tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
Tall cans in the air
Let me see em (fuck you)
I see you're mad at the fact that my pockets stay fat
It's the cash I made the whack on the cocaine sacks
It's the craw foam rich or the one that you lack
I wish you would come around, I'd lay you flat on your back
You better hope you fucking miss me if you see me drinking whiskey
You know me and diablo get way passed tipsy

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song is really great! The lyrics seem pretty good to me but I think the line- "you always say you hate it but i know that you lie"-- is actually-- "I always catch you hating but you know that you lie" but it is really hard to make it out ! Awesome song!
