We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the APT
We'll stumble through the yard

Force fields explorer racing home the ancient star
Yellow mixed with golden hue
Scan the graveyard dead there be

Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain

We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the APT
We'll stumble through the yard

Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain

It was round about midnight, hipster town, imagine going for a walk
Things get around to taking place, it's not a waste of time
The rich got a little poorer
Things get around to taking place if they're going to happen at all
Don't need that jazz, don't need that stuff
It was round about midnight, hipster town
It was round about midnight, hipster town

Force fields explorer racing home the ancient star
Yellow mixed with golden hue
Scan the graveyard dead there be

Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Ball and chain, ball and chain

    Lyrics do not speak to me in this song, but the melody does, I agree w/ "All is a Dream" and no idea what APT means, other than apartment. My only stab at the lyrics is "we'll stumble through the yard" could mean anything from a metaphor about stumbling through life as best you can...to some specific event - not sure.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
