This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There's a place where I like to go
When I got no food or I got no shelter
It's a house where I can get away
For maybe three days
To get off the drink and stay off the haze
Who's the opposition I'm seven years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down
Woke up in the bushes 6:30 Tuesday morning
With a unopened Heineken a head that was burning
For seven years I walked the same path
Dreams of being loved was all I ever had
Who's the opposition I'm seven years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down
When I got no food or I got no shelter
It's a house where I can get away
For maybe three days
To get off the drink and stay off the haze
Who's the opposition I'm seven years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down
Woke up in the bushes 6:30 Tuesday morning
With a unopened Heineken a head that was burning
For seven years I walked the same path
Dreams of being loved was all I ever had
Who's the opposition I'm seven years down
The human spirit prevails
Yeah I'm down down down

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/
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is a great song about quitting drugs and drinking the 'whos the opposition' part referring to a struggle where the only enemy is yourself i think the seven years down thing is just like him sayin he been clean for 7 years... which is an incredible feat for a punk rocka
and that last chorus is somethin like
"????kids smoking crack and drinkin They Said I don't belong here, fuck you mohican They call me a faggot and they shove me out. But I don't give a fuck, I never did."
this is about tim's personal struggle with drugs/alcohol and the shelter he would go to to get clean
yeh thats right, is about tims drinkin problem
the lyrics are very literal. he followed the drug and drinking path for seven years, he had enough and went to live in a house for a couple days at a time to help him stay of the "drink and haze".
Some lyrics Where left out
Let's... GO!
Yeah!!!
Down on ferry kids smokin' crack and drinkin' they said you don't bellong here,fuck you mom and dad, They call me a faggot and they shove me out. But I don't give a fuck, I never did!
Who's the opposition I'm 7 years down The human spirit prevails Oh yeah, I'm down down down [x2]
hey ska-face hmm I was pretty positive the lyric "they said you don't belong here, fuck you mohican" which was a reference to him having a mohawk let me insert something here
"MOHICAN: A hairstyle in which the entire scalp is shaved, save a strip of hair from the forehead to the neck. This is usually dyed and/or spiked up. also known as the mohawk "
but the meaning is pretty much what cranefist said
yeh i heard that too. didn't think neone else would notice that.
There's a mistake in the lyrics, it's actually "Dreams of being loved was all I ever had" not "A drinking beer mug was all I every had".
