This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Well I thought about it once or twice,
No I guess it was more like all the time.
A couple oceans, a couple miles,
Wandering down brick roads and hillsides.
So while them guns were going off,
When your love is not enough,
While the pages write themselves,
A couple of stories I'll never tell.
So welcome to your brand new life.
Welcome to a city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes.
Tell me what it feels like,
When your pulse runs dry.
When your mouth grows quiet.
Paint your lips up bright and you got a little wicked in your eye.
Back when you were on your own,
In that tiny place outside Chicago.
You told me when you're feeling low,
You would wander down hillsides and brick roads.
While them guns were going off,
When my love is not enough,
While the pages write themselves,
A couple of stories I'll never tell.
So welcome to your brand new life.
Welcome to a city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes.
Tell me what it feels like,
When your pulse runs dry.
When your mouth grows quiet.
Paint your lips up bright and you got a little wicked in your eye.
The boats there living peacefully,
The riverman nods his cap at me.
Fucked up, smiling ear-to-ear,
Blood on your feet, holding your heels.
Here in black & white,
Yelling something about tonight.
Everything is short-lived,
If only you could taste it.
No I guess it was more like all the time.
A couple oceans, a couple miles,
Wandering down brick roads and hillsides.
So while them guns were going off,
When your love is not enough,
While the pages write themselves,
A couple of stories I'll never tell.
So welcome to your brand new life.
Welcome to a city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes.
Tell me what it feels like,
When your pulse runs dry.
When your mouth grows quiet.
Paint your lips up bright and you got a little wicked in your eye.
Back when you were on your own,
In that tiny place outside Chicago.
You told me when you're feeling low,
You would wander down hillsides and brick roads.
While them guns were going off,
When my love is not enough,
While the pages write themselves,
A couple of stories I'll never tell.
So welcome to your brand new life.
Welcome to a city that's crawling with lovely devil eyes.
Tell me what it feels like,
When your pulse runs dry.
When your mouth grows quiet.
Paint your lips up bright and you got a little wicked in your eye.
The boats there living peacefully,
The riverman nods his cap at me.
Fucked up, smiling ear-to-ear,
Blood on your feet, holding your heels.
Here in black & white,
Yelling something about tonight.
Everything is short-lived,
If only you could taste it.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
