“Hey man heard you’re a real clean shot”
Yeah when I’ve got a couple drinks in me
And I’ve got a couple drinks in me
“Hey man I heard you get the job done”
Yeah if I’ve got a couple drinks in me I’m known to practice apathy
when you see me stagger
know I’m being antagonized by what you can’t hear
and just moving with the (current) current state of self ?emshment?
where I don’t involve my self in
human affairs
just leave me an address of where I live I’ll make it slow and painful


I DON’T ASK FOR MUCH
A FEW BILL AND A HUMAN TOUCH
TAKE THE EDGE OFF

I told you that I’d bring my head I told you I was better off dead
have you heard the kind of shit that I said
I’m madmadman no I’m not a madman I told you if you slipped me a drink
I told you not to speak when I’m thinking
I told you I was having a hard time sleeping
I’m a sadsadman yeah I’m a real sad man

There’s empty barstools to each of my sides
and empty glasses so who the fuck vulgar slang 1 have sexual intercourse with talking and who’s covering the tab?
Just a lonely man with a death wish and a head full of crossed wires making a deal with himself he keeps talking he keeps nodding

A

    I think this song is about a hitman typish person. No emotion, hence the apathy part. They are also crazy (empty bar stools to each of my sides,and empty glasses, so who the fuck? part) It seems like the person just moves from place to place. That's what I got.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
