And she was like a starry night
Like a Ferris wheel, full of blue-green eyes
And a heart of steel, always on her own
Almost never real

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

And she was like a blade of ice
Like a lonely road, clearest day alive
Always sharp and cold, always beautiful
I am such a fool

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right
Even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right
Even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

    I think it's about falling for a girl who might fall for you, but you know she won't be with you in the end.

    "And she was, like a starry night, Like a Ferris Wheel, full of blue-green eyes, And a heart of steel, always on her own, Almost never real"

    The first few lines are just a few notes on how amazing she is. A heart of steel is a reference to her painful situation that always leads to her being on her own, or at least in a relationship that isn't real; put whatever you want into here. I think the best explanation would be she's hanging around with an ex who treats her wrong, but, you know girls in rock songs - they always go back no matter how unhappy they are.

    "When the night will begin The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love Back, you wanna turn back Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love"

    This is pretty much where I got my idea from. Even if she falls in love with you, you're still not going to have her. You know you won't have her and you know you're just going to have a pain-filled heart, even if she does fall in love.

    "And she was like a blade of ice Like a lonely road, clear as day, alive Always sharp and cold, always beautiful I am such a fool"

    Contrasting images of the girl: she's both clear as day/alive, and sharp and cold. This is him debating whether or not to try to be with her; he's presenting her in both a good and bad light, talking himself in and out of it. It's important to note that "like a lonely road" is in the positive line. In my explanation, he's trying to convince himself that she's alone, but he knows she's lingering around her ex. Judging by the nature of the song, he's leaning towards trying for her anyway, admitting it's a foolish idea, but love means you don't care.

    "Try to look in her eyes The light is just right, even if she falls in love And it isn't so bad It's driving you mad, even if she falls in love"

    He's falling for her hard now that he's started trying, and he's even starting to believe that it could work. However, his sense that "the pain won't end" is nagging at the back of his thoughts and driving him mad, even as he believes she's falling in love.

    This is my opinion.

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
