This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You're walking that well-healed ground
Upon a fragile course
The Gin Lane talk has been getting you down
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down
The smoke that clouded your eyes
Was a daily event
Those weren't ghosts they were only men
And the beauty that you sensed
Could heal all indifference
Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit
Of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat
Under crowded sheets
They were feathering their beds
I felt the spirit
Of this place we'd left for dead
Darkened streets for a guide
Search vainly for your sight
Tension rising on every side
You find comfort in its might
But that sun burns more than she lights
Further down in this town
You hear the common word of mouth
That back-street talk just a hollow sound
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down
Upon a fragile course
The Gin Lane talk has been getting you down
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down
The smoke that clouded your eyes
Was a daily event
Those weren't ghosts they were only men
And the beauty that you sensed
Could heal all indifference
Beneath the cruel lives and the hard face
I can't believe what I have found
I touched the spirit
Of this ordinary town
And in the summer heat
Under crowded sheets
They were feathering their beds
I felt the spirit
Of this place we'd left for dead
Darkened streets for a guide
Search vainly for your sight
Tension rising on every side
You find comfort in its might
But that sun burns more than she lights
Further down in this town
You hear the common word of mouth
That back-street talk just a hollow sound
Cos the hero of Blake could not be found
And there's a lot of faking going down

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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/
