This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've never been out of Salford Town, the place where I was born
except when I was in the ranks and wore a uniform
But I'd sooner never travel, if the only way to see the world
is through the battle sights of a mark four 303
I've got a little baby, he's the apple of my eye
when I think about his future my thoughts take wing and fly
What kind of future can there be with planes and tanks and guns
all flying high and dropping bombs on other people's sons
I'd like to see the whole wide world, all north, south, east and west
I'd like to travel everywhere with the girl that I love best
But I'll die right here beside this gas-yard wall before I'll stand
in some other country with a bayonet in my hand
except when I was in the ranks and wore a uniform
But I'd sooner never travel, if the only way to see the world
is through the battle sights of a mark four 303
I've got a little baby, he's the apple of my eye
when I think about his future my thoughts take wing and fly
What kind of future can there be with planes and tanks and guns
all flying high and dropping bombs on other people's sons
I'd like to see the whole wide world, all north, south, east and west
I'd like to travel everywhere with the girl that I love best
But I'll die right here beside this gas-yard wall before I'll stand
in some other country with a bayonet in my hand

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/

Amazing

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.
