He loved his ma, and his dog, and his stay-pressed jungle greens
He ate more hot dinners (than) any man ever seen
This world will not witness the likes of him again
Wild Jack Hammer was a prince among men

He was a saint, but not in the conventional sense
You couldn't hang him 'round your neck for 4 pound and 99 pence
Now he's gone, and you're here, and it's all in the past
But Wild Jack Hammer, he was in a different class

You are not fit to piss against the same garage wall,
To be allowed to expound, to do anything at all
And you smile at my face and slag me off behind my back
But Wild Jack Hammer never treated me like that

Oh, if I only had a fiver for every clown like you
I'd have so much bread I wouldn't know what to do
I think I'd buy a container and put you all inside
And let Wild Jack Hammer come and take you for a ride

Oh, you are gods, you are leaners, you are one big family
And then you fly down the mountain on the universal ski
And then you all talk shit until the cows come home
With Wild Jack Hammer on your fake car phone

Oh, it's a joke, it's a laugh, it's a rib-splitting crack,
But your eyes never smile, and they're always looking back
And we dream of returning but we don't know how
Wild Jack Hammer, man, we really need you now

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/

Plastic Bag
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.
