Always caring, always mine
Always reaching for what isn't there
It just isn't there at all
The smallest doubt can swell and grow
And all hope shrinks into indifference
It makes no difference to me
I was only five
When I heard the tale of the little train that said
" I think I can "
But what's hard to give is hard to get
And once you've lost it it's always gone
It's always gone
Sometimes I wish that I could cry
Instead of wondering what's on her mind
What was on my mind this time
For consolation there's always a next time
But will you take the time ?
It will take some time
Don't misunderstand
Half the time I can
Don't misunderstand
Half the time I only think I can
I was only five
When I heard the tale of the little train that said
"I think I can"
But what's hard to give is hard to get
And once you've lost it it's always gone
It's always gone
Standing on the railroad tracks
I hear the whistle the godfather's call
The biggest train of all
It's speeding closer towards the bridge
I'm hoping it can show me how it's done
Always reaching for what isn't there
It just isn't there at all
The smallest doubt can swell and grow
And all hope shrinks into indifference
It makes no difference to me
I was only five
When I heard the tale of the little train that said
" I think I can "
But what's hard to give is hard to get
And once you've lost it it's always gone
It's always gone
Sometimes I wish that I could cry
Instead of wondering what's on her mind
What was on my mind this time
For consolation there's always a next time
But will you take the time ?
It will take some time
Don't misunderstand
Half the time I can
Don't misunderstand
Half the time I only think I can
I was only five
When I heard the tale of the little train that said
"I think I can"
But what's hard to give is hard to get
And once you've lost it it's always gone
It's always gone
Standing on the railroad tracks
I hear the whistle the godfather's call
The biggest train of all
It's speeding closer towards the bridge
I'm hoping it can show me how it's done

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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
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.
i think this song is about being emotionally damaged, about not being able to give yourself completely to another person, and feeling alienated and alone as a result. half the time he can, and half the time he only thinks he can. then there's the godfather, "the biggest train of all"; those lines seem to evoke suicide.
all of that said, there's also a great case to be made for this being about erectile dysfunction.
