This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Let's get rid of the shit
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No bad dreams now
No reason now
No excuses now
If I knock it all back
Just like you said I do
Would it confirm the suspect?
The suspicion will do
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No allusion now
No dilution now
No excuses now
Let's get rid of the shit
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
Failure to do so will result in the failure
Failure to do so will result in the failure
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No bad dreams now
No reason now
No excuses now
If I knock it all back
Just like you said I do
Would it confirm the suspect?
The suspicion will do
It was a pleasure to meet you
You slapped me right on the back
Just a pleasure to meet you
You got it almost exact
No discussion now
No allusion now
No dilution now
No excuses now
Let's get rid of the shit
I know you like that, too
The stuff that undermines
The best of me and you
Failure to do so will result in the failure
Failure to do so will result in the failure

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Maybe about how in relationship every bad thing in both people who are in it gets to be examined, and that is what makes everything complicated and it gets in the way of the relationship, and in the end probably destroyes it. Thats what I got fom a few lines.
One of my favorite Echo and the Bunnymen songs.
