You Know I Love You

The Pigeon Detectives

I heard you were out tonight
I heard you were out tonight
I wanna see you there
I wanna meet you

You’re going down tonight
You’re going down tonight
I wanna feel you there
I wanna feel you

You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you

You wanna wait till its right
I wanna do it tonight
I gotta see that you care
You gotta show me

You’re going down tonight
You’re going down tonight
I wanna feel you there
I wanna feel you

You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you

You know I love you
Take off your clothes
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

I heard you were out tonight
I heard you were out tonight
I wanna see you there
I wanna meet you

You’re going down tonight
You’re going down tonight
I wanna feel you there
I wanna feel you

You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love you

You know I love you
Take off your clothes
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

    yeah, when i saw this live, he was like "this song is for all the young ladies in the audience... next time a guy tells you he loves you say to yourself "he doesnt love me, he just wants to fuck me"

    bit obvious .. the lad is pressuring the girl to sleep with him.

    "You wanna wait till its right I wanna do it tonight I gotta see that you care You gotta show me"

    she wants to wait, might still be a virgin, but just like a typical man he uses the gulit card!

    The meaning's pretty obvious and the Pigeon's arent that great- they're pretty unoriginal but then again, so are most bands these days.The song's familiar- there's always some guy that just wants to fuck you. I like this song though, it's very catchy and I always play it when I hook up with one of my friends lol

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
