Don't you ask me to come out
When the sun does shine
Rather stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you'll be mine

let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

well, welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
When darkness falls again my friend
We'll both know what to do

let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

come walk with me upon the earth
That keeps us both alive
No living thing can last in here
But we shall both survive

let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

in darkness there is no sin
Light only brings the fear
Nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But please don't go away
There's power in the nighttime
That you won't find in the day

there is no vision here
There is no vision here
No vision here

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
