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.
Yo-you hear them sirens?
I know you hear 'em
Don't get scared
That ain't five-o
No that's the funk yo'
Yeah
Don't act like you didn't know
No
It's just the way it goes
Yeah
When you're messin' with the funk
Yeah
You pump it in your trunk
Yeah
You know it's what you want
Yeah
So just bump da bump da bump bump it up
[Chorus]
Bounce boo to the boogie that be
You know I want you to come boogie with me
We can dip left slide right all night
It's time to be wild freestyle
It's on and poppin'
Ain't no stoppin'
Us from rockin'
From tonight till ten o'clock in the morning
Got neighbours knockin'
Turn it down
Fuck them go call the cops and watch them kids
Walk in start boppin' heads to what that beat they droppin'
He play funk, punk, and hip-hoppin' breakin' laws yeah
Cultures shockin'
We be pop lockin' and mashin'
I get down and groove to cuts
Check my art of movin' butts
Now these cats are scared to dance
This beat next
Ooh
There's my chance
Come on girl
Let's go out and dance on the floor
Ha
[Chorus]
We can dance and dance, dance
Said we can dance and dance, dance
I wanna dance and dance, dance
Oh we can dance and dance, dance
Fergie's chillin'
Always illin'
The way I make ya' sway
Y'all feelin'
That's how it is get down and jam
If ya'll don't understand
Check it
He rock makin'
Street block shakin'
Love life's great when it's house quakin'
Speakers thumpin' the whole joint jumpin'
Disco funkin' get your booty bumpin'
This beat's bangin' I'm rap talkin'
Sweet spit slangin' keep your feet hoppin'
Dirty dancin' nasty naughty
Move that chassie
Pump it hottie
Cause when I hear music
I just lose it
I wanna do it with you
And when I hear music
I get into it
I wanna do it with you
Ha
[Chorus]
We can dance and dance, dance
Said we can dance and dance, dance
I wanna dance and dance, dance
Oh we can dance and dance, dance

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/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
