This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The last thing that old Lucky said
Was come now Daniel, a closed mouth don't get fed
The last thing that old lucky did
Was old lucky looked out for this poor kid
There's so much on your mind as you pass the time
Everyone's innocent, committed no crimes
Talking about plans and future scams
You came in as a boy but left as a man
You know you never meant to cause harm
A riot kicks off and they sound the alarm
They pit race against race in this tragic place
Race against race, we stand face to face
The last thing that old Lucky said
Was come now Daniel, a closed mouth don't get fed
The last thing that old lucky did
Was old lucky looked out for this poor kid
Get out of your bunk and throw some spades
Looking back to those better days
Times of no worries when all was okay
If you'd just done that you'd of gotten away
And Wednesday in stores you get what you need
Line up like animals, it's time to feed
Take away your freedom, hold on to your pride
It's all you've got when your hands are tied

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/
