Devils In The Mist

Overkill

Pray for the days of glory
Long gone the master plan
Gone is the pride of independence
Sacrificed like a lamb
Here is the same old story
Here where the honor ran
There was a price for the consolation
Walking in hand in hand

Thy kingdom come, he came to fear it
He's on the Judas list
Thy will be done, and fondled spirit
See's devils in the mist

Give me pure resolution
Give what all I can
Give me some more of what I can take,
Feed me from your garbage can
Let me have the absolution
Let me stand like a man
Let me walk tall with the godforsaken,
Walking out hand in hand

One more godforsaken
Ten to make him pay
A kiss from Judas and temptation
Sends him on his way
Passes on redemption
Ten to make him right
Another kiss of Judas lands
Before he sees daylight...
Into his night
Hot

One more godforsaken
Ten to make him pray
A kiss from Judas and temptation
As I heard him pray

Thy kingdom come, he came to fear it
He's on the Jesus list
Thy will be done, and ruined spirit
See's devils in the mist

    It sounds like what Judas had to face for turning on Jesus, eternal damnation.

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/
