This country looks like one big car park
The winters are so very long
And everybody wonders where the light has gone

And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sun
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run

And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one laughs at what we wear
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care

We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run

And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sunshine
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run

And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one hates us for our hair
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care

We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run

America's our supermarket
In India we'll take some stopping
Cause you and me we're just two creatures on the run

In Asia we can mend our breakdown
Cause you and me we must escape now
And you and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run
You and me we're just two creatures on the run

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
