Trampled Under Foot

Led Zeppelin

Greasy slicked-down
Groovy leather trim
I like the way ya hold the road
Mama, it ain't no sin
Talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout

Ooh, trouble-free transmission
Helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas
Mama, let me do it all
Talking 'bout love, ah
Talking 'bout love, oh
Talking 'bout

Check that heavy metal
Underneath your hood
Baby, I can work all night
Believe I got the perfect tools
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout

Automobile with comfort
Really built with style
Specialist tradition
Mama, let me feast my eyes
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout

Factory air-conditioned
Heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours
Mama, you're the perfect size
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout

Grooving on the freeway
Gauges all are red
Gun down on my gasoline
Believe I'm gonna crack your head
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout

I can't stop talking about
I can't stop talking about

Ooh yeah, yes-ah
Drive on!

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I'm coming through

Come to me for service
Every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points
Fix your overdrive
Talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout

Oh yes, fully automatic
Comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did
Before we synchronized
Talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout love
I'm talking 'bout

Oh-oh, feather-light suspension
Corners couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look
Inside your showroom doors
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout love
Talking 'bout
I can't, I can't

Oh, I can't stop talking about love
I can't stop talking about love

Oh, let me go on down, go on down
Go on down, go on down, go on down, yes

I can't stop talking 'bout
I can't stop talking 'bout love, hey
I can't stop talking 'bout love or my baby
I can't stop talking 'bout love, my baby
My baby, my baby, yeah!

Uh
Push
Push
Push it
Push
Push

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
