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.
Walking through the woods, a bear
it munches you. Put your head in a
vice, go drilling for the goo.
Fall one hundred thousand fest,
go splat in the middle of town.
Your head lops off from a chain-
saw and falls down to the ground.
[Chorus:]
From behind, a blade slides in, and
opens up your veins. Under your car, the pump
gives way and squashes all your brains.
A great white shark rips you limb from limb,
a jigsaw cuts the flesh, it tears around the rim.
"An execution", hear the cry, shock! It pops
your eyes. A rope wrapped firmly a-
round your neck, it ends all your lives.
Now they stuff M-80's down your fucking
throat, when they go, you will blow, and
then start to bloat.
[Chorus: Solos: M.Z., J.D., repeat]
Pour some gas on your head, then light
a match. Stuff your friend in the oven,
then lock the latch. Creme your face on
the ground, falling off your bike. Fall
from a cliff Bub, while taking a nature
hike.

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
