This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
7 out of 21 knocked down
Now only 14 left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jet lag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
7 out of 21 knocked down
Now only 14 left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jet lag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead
Then when I came around
Somebody helped me to my feet
And said I can't believe you're still alive
I've seen 20 other people in the last half an hour
Who've been hit right between the eyes
Seems that somebody some where's on a mission to protect you
Knowing that you should have survived
Hurray, hurray, hurray
We're still alive
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere
Now only 14 left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jet lag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
7 out of 21 knocked down
Now only 14 left to go
I didn't know that I was next in line
But it is not as if I've had much time
Jet lag all around me voices calling
Saying please don't go away
Last thing I remember drifting down this tunnel
Was bright light ahead
Then when I came around
Somebody helped me to my feet
And said I can't believe you're still alive
I've seen 20 other people in the last half an hour
Who've been hit right between the eyes
Seems that somebody some where's on a mission to protect you
Knowing that you should have survived
Hurray, hurray, hurray
We're still alive
Out of nowhere
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
It came and him me on the head
Out of nowhere
I saw it over there
Before it hit you on the head
I saw it over there
Out of nowhere

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.
I reckon It's about some kinda ball game - Cricket or something 7 people out, 14 left to bowl "I didn't know that i was next in line" Didn't know he was on the field next "Out of nowhere it came and hit me on the head" They bat the ball and it hits the chappy and knocks him out "Hit right between the eyes" suggests he was hit by the ball and hes not in some kind of war
