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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
"kill everyone now" is a line of Divine's in Pink Flamingos, I think the song is about the movie to an extent, in that it sort of makes the same point that the movie made - that we seem to glorify the worst qualities in us (greed, etc.). At least that's what I get out of it.
GhostTiger, i never made that connection to pink flamingoes, which is SUCH A GREAT FILM. The only line i can honestly recall from it is the scene where they have the "evil-doers" of the plot tied up "convicting them of Asshole-ism" an excellent line!
for me this song is comparable to the last track on "you kill me" release, "paradise". which is about being your average human who works a minimum-wage job, upon which the employee becomes disgruntled with the people they work with, customers and co-workers alike. working in a grocery store for a year plus i can feel these "McJob" lines such as "would you like fries with that ma'am?". NOMEANSNO is a band that will never get recognition for their musical/lyrical accomplishments. i will honestly say that i hope it stays that way, they are a diamond in the rough, to use a cliche phrase, they are better off being respected 100% in the underground then being thrown away in a culture that values mediocrity and stupidity in a modern culture that should be about expanding the minds of those who live in it.
thank you NOMEANSNO. you are truly a gift to those of my generation
i have to add the comment that this site is truly an amazing idea. for me, TRUE MUSIC is on the same plane as art has been to others in the passed (expressionists, dadaists, surrealists) and its immportant for channel for people to be able to discuss their interpretations of meanings of songs with others, since after all songs can't be hung on walls and displayed in galleries.
I thought it was a dig at the police, given the "Oh look, a Dunkin' Doughnuts" at the end.
