This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The sun was in my eyes
It came through the trees
Consumed all of my mind
It was all I could see
The sun was in my eyes
Something became of my life
I left all else behind
And starred into the light
The sun was in my eyes
I could not see
Please find it in your heart
To forgive me
Pursuing the sun because you can
But still tell the night you’ll still see each other now and again
Let him down softly, be polite
Reassure him all the same that things will be like they’ve always have been
A fragile boy
With needs on you he depends
Who measures how much
It all meant to you by how quickly you left
A fragile boy
With needs on you he depends
With your negligence
You have pushed him to the edge
It was the darkness that kept us together…
…It was the light that led you away
You control our destiny
Reduce it back to an idea
I beg of you from agony
Please conform to decency
The sun was in my eyes
It came through the trees
Consumed all of my mind
It was all I could see
The sun was in my eyes
Something became of my life
I left all else behind
And starred into the light
The sun is shallow
It will shine for anyone
The night is loyal
Only to those who are true
Time will fly as you pursue the sun
But the night will be long and cold
And it will wait for you at home
When summer came
I was overcome
Something lost for something gained
Pursuing the sun and it’s hot summer days
On the long, backstabbing back-road on the way to the grave
It came through the trees
Consumed all of my mind
It was all I could see
The sun was in my eyes
Something became of my life
I left all else behind
And starred into the light
The sun was in my eyes
I could not see
Please find it in your heart
To forgive me
Pursuing the sun because you can
But still tell the night you’ll still see each other now and again
Let him down softly, be polite
Reassure him all the same that things will be like they’ve always have been
A fragile boy
With needs on you he depends
Who measures how much
It all meant to you by how quickly you left
A fragile boy
With needs on you he depends
With your negligence
You have pushed him to the edge
It was the darkness that kept us together…
…It was the light that led you away
You control our destiny
Reduce it back to an idea
I beg of you from agony
Please conform to decency
The sun was in my eyes
It came through the trees
Consumed all of my mind
It was all I could see
The sun was in my eyes
Something became of my life
I left all else behind
And starred into the light
The sun is shallow
It will shine for anyone
The night is loyal
Only to those who are true
Time will fly as you pursue the sun
But the night will be long and cold
And it will wait for you at home
When summer came
I was overcome
Something lost for something gained
Pursuing the sun and it’s hot summer days
On the long, backstabbing back-road on the way to the grave

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Blind optimism always runs out and you are faced with the truth of how shitty your life really is?
