Run to the river, run to the sea

Cast my body down, baptize me

He came for my sorrow, he came for my pain

Through the sun he came for the rain

Over the ocean and back to the sea

A new day is dawning and hope caries me

There's a hole in my head that lets the rain in

There ain't no laws for the brave ones, oh no

There ain't no silence now for the crazy

There ain't no help for the lazy, oh no

I ain't never stole to get high

I ain't never done wrong to get by

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny

As we walk now with cross to bare

It's a rough game, you gotta play fair

Revolt against the reason

The man is coming any season now

I ain't never stole to get high

I ain't never done wrong to get by

I think therefore I'm dangerous

I ain't never stole to get high

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny

Goddamn

Goddamn

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny

Dirt is what made me

So dust be the destiny, be the destiny

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.
