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.
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
Sang my song, stuck out my tongue, girl's strung
Sweatin' among 'em was a hon', "Got a man but we're not gettin' along"
Lick the balls, I know some girls'll lick it, not a rhyme, kick it
"Rick, it's amazin', how you rap word up, you sound wicked"
"Do I dig her?", silly question picture a jerk and do I trick her
"If you only know how good you be lookin' to a nigga"
Butt perfect, to her car say would I walk her, not ever
Tell her, "Call me later on just to talk or whatever"
Stirrin' it up, learn the digits, to be safe burn it up
"And here's another Slick Rick one" and the man turn it up
Now on my strap and very soon she be all hot and wanna rap
'Sup cap'n over there but Rick ain't nothin' gonna happen
Comes over stuck my toungue in her mouth
She gave me a hickey, shocked me
The way she jocked truck me, "knock me ricky, knock me"
Don't affect you none you popped your kid and rocked your son
Though you ho's strung now didn't knock or tongue
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
Another honey real sneaky lines thrown on the freak
Says, "Money works away but he be home on the weekends"
"Wanted to say you're best, out-chargin' the rest though"
Says the guest though now massagin' the breast though
While I'm gettin' info out of her, girlfriend's side of her
Doin' this already, I'll be in that and out of her
Ask her friend, "What poet best?", rather not flow
Though know, girlfriend actin' like down to cut throat
You seem too hard for the rest of them, met all, been too
Hint to her friend, time to leave so we can get all into
So then friend says, "Don't take all day whore I mean"
Drops number on the floor makes sure the dog seen it
Alone asks, "Can you help me rap?", "Maybe", winking
"Think me, you'll go far", "Oh yeah, that's it baby drink me"
Don't affect you none you popped kid and rocked your son
Though you ho's strung now didn't knock or tongue
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
A good look strike ya ho, you attack mic as though
I wanted to ask you is that really real? Witch, act like you know
Give me a line for your joint, been to every store to find you
Gettin' noisy everyone leave but you close the door behind you
Left your man dressin' room he tried to dis me 'cause you rule in school
I said, "Word, so won't you kiss me you fool"
Shoulder shrug she pop, "Why not?", another fan above, on the luck
Well, anyway like a autograph and a hug
Made my move to triple excitement, "Stop rick you'll flip it"
As I grind against her pussy and I didn't lick her nipple
Less than a minute more progression look at her hide in her dress
And lights off pull panties to the side and caressin'
Mass roll up playin' her life, want to keep her in past goal
Bolder now she's sayin', "More deeper in my asshole"
Don't affect you none you popped kid done rocked your son
Though strung, no I didn't knock or tongue
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong
'Cuz it's wrong

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/

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.
