It's time to tell my story
of a girl I used to know
Always cried into her pillow
under pinups on the wall
She didn't make Italia Conte
didn't get that TV show
Then a nice man said he'd help her
with a new portfolio

Missus be Missus E Missus A-you-T
Missus I Missus F-you-L
I'm gonna reach the top
I ain't ever gonna stop
and I'm sure gonna ring your bell
Missus D Missus I Missus F-F-I
Missus see Missus you-L-T
If ever there's a girl
that could rock your world
Then that girl sure is me
(right!)

(Chorus)
So the fun won't start til she's living it up
feeling good on top of the pops
Can you make it me plus one?
Dress falls down at the aftershow
She breaks down in the video
Think you'll find it's me plus one

Now this wannabe seniorita
met a group of likely girls
Traded posters and the voxpops
for jetting round the world
But it didn't make her happy
and now she flies alone
The wrong pictures in the paper
and no one back at home

The people around you
won't tell you how it is
Don't you think it's gone on long enough?
Take a look at yourself
Get out of the car
You know it's time
you've got to let it go

    Song Meaning

    It's about Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls, or at least the part about "get out of the car." Richard X and Hannah Robinson wrote the song "Some Girls" and decided to give it to Rachel Stevens instead of Geri Halliwell. Geri locked herself in a car in an attempt to get them to change their minds, but they didn't.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
