Enfilade

At the Drive-In

This could last us all a lifetime
Limbs intact, untouched
On the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedposts
We wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifespan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can

[Chorus:]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]

Meet us at the corner
Of fifth and Pontiac
Make sure that no one else is with you
If you wish to see them alive again
Then humor me with this request
Humor me with this request
In basements we will hide
Amnesia in our alibis

[Chorus]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]

They kept a close eye, on your get well incentive [Repeat: x2]

[Chorus x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]

    I always thought it said "at leisure in our alibis" which to me sounds better and makes more sense IMO "/

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
