Threshold Apprehension

Frank Black

Talk to a man just to get a little work
Then you talk to the hand just to get a little jerk
Some people die, then they start to get old
But I don't want to die upon the threshold

I got threshold apprehesion
Threshold apprehension
I got threshold apprehension

Every little shit gotta find his salt lick
If I don't find my babe, I'm gonna be junk sick
Roll away the rock so I can get to my ascension
Ain't my first time having threshold apprehension

I got threshold aprehension
Threshold apprehension
I got threshold apprehension

We got on my bike and we rode to the sea
I stood on the dock and you got on your knees
Grand Marnier and a pocket full of speed
We did it all day 'til we started to bleed

Are you feeling apprehensive?

I can leap higher than an old king toad
I do 185 on the new ring road
I love a blue girl and I like my grog
It's a black and white world, cuz I'm a Scorpio dog
Have drink, press button, seventh floor
And wait a hundred years for the elevator door
Come a time when you gotta lose the tension
It's the last time for the threshold apprehension

I got threshold aprehension
Threshold apprehension
I got threshold apprehension

Who's carrying who?
Who's turning the screw?
Who has prophesied?
Petit paramour
I will be the whore
And you'll be my suicide

Who's carrying who?
Who's turning the screw?
Who has prophesied?
Petit paramour
I will be the whore
And you'll be my suicide

    Wow, no comments for such an amazing song???

    I think its about longing for death or something of the sort and how some get there so easily. But some parts of it confuse me.

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/

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
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.
