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'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
(?) when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
Whisper in my ear all your culinary wishes
Next thing you know you're washing the dishes
Your table is ready for me
I'm happy to seat you
Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
I'd really like another slice of you
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I get a table you know damn well I get a table for two
Preheat the oven so the cooking is best
I trained at the very best kitchens in france
My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you
Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you
And everywhere I go
You ask me, Valentine
What's your recipe for love?
MY answer's always the same
Cook the hell out of it
It's slices of you
If music be the food of love, play on
But I'm really too hungry for just one song
It's so fire leads to you
I'd really like anotheer slice of you
That's so nice of you
(Nice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
(?) when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do

Next thing you know you're washing the dishes
Your table is ready for me
I'm happy to seat you
Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
"If music be the food of love, play on" Electric Six channeling Shakespeare? Nice, haha.
