This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Its Friday night I’m a skeleton
Shaking in the light of the Marathon
Sancho Panza wants to carry on
So he pulls me through the door
He wants a packet of this
A packet of that
A brand new tombstone heart attack
Now I’m not sure that I want that
But then he pulls me to the floor
“Now you’re here its so good
I’m Einstein you’re Robin Hood
Now you’re here its so good
It’s clear so clear”
This is my home lying in the street
This is my brain dripping on my feet
This is my home lying in the road
This is my brain you see explode
We move through the smooth black summer heat
Trying to talk when we can barely speak
And the mangled people in the street
Throw themselves in the air
The pale moonlight lit building sites
Round tower block howling in the night
And 4/4 beats prowling round for fights
We wander without care
“Now you’re here its so good
I’m Einstein you’re Robin Hood
Now you’re here its all good
It’s clear all clear”
This is my home lying in the street
This is my brain dripping on my feet
This is my home lying in the road
This is my brain you see explode
Friday night; skeleton; shaking in the light; Marathon
Sancho Panza carries on
So he pulls me to the door
A packet of this; a packet of that;
A brand new tombstone heart attack
Now I’m not sure I want that
But then he pulls me to the floor
“Now you’re here its all good
I’m Einstein you’re Robin Hood
Now you’re here its all good
It’s clear so clear”
This is my home lying in the street
This is my brain dripping on my feet
This is my home lying in the road
This is my brain you see explode....
Shaking in the light of the Marathon
Sancho Panza wants to carry on

Now I’m not sure that I want that

“Now you’re here its so good
I’m Einstein you’re Robin Hood
Now you’re here its so good
It’s clear so clear”
This is my home lying in the street
This is my brain dripping on my feet
This is my home lying in the road
This is my brain you see explode

Throw themselves in the air
The pale moonlight lit building sites
Round tower block howling in the night

We wander without care
“Now you’re here its so good
I’m Einstein you’re Robin Hood
Now you’re here its all good

This is my brain dripping on my feet
This is my home lying in the road

This is my home lying in the road
This is my brain you see explode....

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think it's a horrible experience dealing with drugs...
I'm Einstein you're Robin hood? What does this mean?
