In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me
And all the bros
Try for the courage and try for Charity's tight clothes
She got a hat and all the hat says is "Asshole"
She'll be a-boppin' to me
Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see
Now, take it down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
And those rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to see
Homegrown
She rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't gotta the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me
Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
They makes me feel like I'm the one who's moving you
The only one you see
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
And those the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to be
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me
And all the bros
Try for the courage and try for Charity's tight clothes
She got a hat and all the hat says is "Asshole"
She'll be a-boppin' to me
Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see
Now, take it down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
And those rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to see
Homegrown
She rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't gotta the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me
Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
They makes me feel like I'm the one who's moving you
The only one you see
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
And those the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to be

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/

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.
