This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's raining outside on the avenue now
6 o'clock, she's on her way
She picks up her clothes, does her hair in a rush
Grabs some coffee before she's away
The wine glasses are stained from the night had before
And her head is beginning to ache
The bed is so warm in the spot where she lay
And I am just beginning to wake
I fall back to sleep and she's in around 10
Can't believe I'm still here
She asks me to leave, says "make sure no-one sees"
Well she knows how to make me feel
But I'm just a fool who has fallen in love
So I go back to hers around 3
She acts like it's nothing and I am to blame
And I go fetch biscuits and tea
(chorus)
But down on the avenue
The rain tastes like peaches and cream
And all of those folks around here
Are restless and can't get no sleep
She speaks about home and the people she knows
And how good it was when she was there
She watches the TV and smokes cigarettes
Gets undressed and she lets down herhair
So I turn out the light and I take off my shirt
And I tickle her back til she sleeps
And I know where this is going. I know how it ends
But I can't change the way that I feel
Chorus
The clock on the wall ticks away as it should
And time is beginning to fly
And everything I want is not what I need
I can't get her out of my life
But down on the avenue
The rain tastes like peaches and cream
And I'm one of those folks around here
Who's restless and can't get no sleep
It's raining outside on the avenue now
6 o'clock, she's on her way...
6 o'clock, she's on her way
She picks up her clothes, does her hair in a rush
Grabs some coffee before she's away
The wine glasses are stained from the night had before
And her head is beginning to ache
The bed is so warm in the spot where she lay
And I am just beginning to wake
I fall back to sleep and she's in around 10
Can't believe I'm still here
She asks me to leave, says "make sure no-one sees"
Well she knows how to make me feel
But I'm just a fool who has fallen in love
So I go back to hers around 3
She acts like it's nothing and I am to blame
And I go fetch biscuits and tea
(chorus)
But down on the avenue
The rain tastes like peaches and cream
And all of those folks around here
Are restless and can't get no sleep
She speaks about home and the people she knows
And how good it was when she was there
She watches the TV and smokes cigarettes
Gets undressed and she lets down herhair
So I turn out the light and I take off my shirt
And I tickle her back til she sleeps
And I know where this is going. I know how it ends
But I can't change the way that I feel
Chorus
The clock on the wall ticks away as it should
And time is beginning to fly
And everything I want is not what I need
I can't get her out of my life
But down on the avenue
The rain tastes like peaches and cream
And I'm one of those folks around here
Who's restless and can't get no sleep
It's raining outside on the avenue now
6 o'clock, she's on her way...

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I met this guy when working in a hotel in Stratford-on-Avon back in 2000. He gave me a copy of his demo and I heard this song, which is one of the most heart-wrenchingly lovely tunes I've ever heard. I played it to a couple of friends a few years later when I was at uni, and they were completely in awe when they heard it. The whole room was just in total silence for ages, listening to this wistful ballad about lost love and heartache. Apparently the songwriter doesn't like it at all now, and can't bear to listen to it anymore. Bloody show-off - I'd happily give most of my limbs to be able to write something like this.
