In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
She wants to take me by the hand
But I don't know what to say
She said she'd take me for a good time
Something told me not to say
but I was hypnotised
By her cold green eyes
And no matter how hard I tried
I just couldn't get away
I just couldn't get away
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up just to let you down
She'll make you bleed
She'll make you sweat
She'll walk away with no regrets
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
She'll chew you up and spit you out
While she looks you in the eye
She has a smile like an angel
She's a devil in disguise
She'll give you champagne wishes and some caviar dreams
But things ain't always what they seem
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
I met a girl on Bourbon street
She said that I smelled sweet
She's tempting me with her metalic teeth
She's getting closer to my face
This feels so very strange
Just like those dreams when you can't run away
And I just can't get away
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up just to let you down
She'll make you bleed
She'll make you sweat
She'll walk away with no regrets
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up
Just to let you down
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
But I don't know what to say
She said she'd take me for a good time
Something told me not to say
but I was hypnotised
By her cold green eyes
And no matter how hard I tried
I just couldn't get away
I just couldn't get away
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up just to let you down
She'll make you bleed
She'll make you sweat
She'll walk away with no regrets
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
She'll chew you up and spit you out
While she looks you in the eye
She has a smile like an angel
She's a devil in disguise
She'll give you champagne wishes and some caviar dreams
But things ain't always what they seem
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
I met a girl on Bourbon street
She said that I smelled sweet
She's tempting me with her metalic teeth
She's getting closer to my face
This feels so very strange
Just like those dreams when you can't run away
And I just can't get away
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up just to let you down
She'll make you bleed
She'll make you sweat
She'll walk away with no regrets
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire
She'll take you out
Spin you round
She'll pick you up
Just to let you down
She's a cold hearted woman with a taste for blood
She only comes out at night
She's a vampire
She's a vampire

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
