Married I Can Always Get [*]

Teddi King

I wanna dance
Until the darkest heavens turn gray
Until the dawn strolls in with the day

Then I'll say
Don't let the band get away
But matrimony
I'm not ready yet
Married I can always get

It's not for me
With all it's smug convivial joy
That ever constant smashing a toys
Wrecks your poise
While hubby is out with the boys

No wedding gown
For this silhouette
Married I can always get

I'll live the life that I'm used to
I'll get a ring when I choose to
Because by now I have found
That the nicest rings are on a merry-go-'round

I'll be blasse
With any man who's motives are base
I'll keep each wiley wolf in his place
'Til the chase finally ends in embrace

But as for wedlock unlock me, my pet
Married I can always get

I'll go the way that the wind blows
Along the path that is primrose
I have my plan all rehearsed
I will kiss anybody will kiss me first

I'll take a cruise
Into a more adventurous clime
And if the captain's still in his prime
He will find
You don't have to sail all the time

I wanna stick to romantic roulette
Married I can always get

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/
