This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Hey there father I don't want to bother you,
But I've got a sin to confess
I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean
Do you mind if I take off my dress
I don't know where to start,
So let me get to the good parts
You might want to cross up your legs
I've got envy I've got greed,
Anything that you need and I'm not above having to beg
There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
And I had to lay him eight feet under ground
Now all I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down
All the way down
Well hey there father there is just one other thing,
I have a simple request,
I hear you know god could you give him a nod in my direction,
I would be in your debt, perhaps
There is something that we could work out,
I noticed your breathing has started to change,
We could go in the back behind all
These stacks of bibles and get out of this cage
There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
And I had to lay him eight feet under ground
Now all I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down
All the way down
I didn't wanna do it father but I caught him
With another woman in the bed I made
And so I put him in the grave
And now there's no one left around
To get me off when I want its a drag
The next day on the television they identified him
By the circumcision that I made
And now I'm on the run but wait
Why did I have to go and kill him
When he was the best I ever had
All I need is someone to save me
'Cause god I'm going down
And what I need is something to save me
'Cause god I'm going down
All the way down
But I've got a sin to confess
I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean
Do you mind if I take off my dress
I don't know where to start,
So let me get to the good parts
You might want to cross up your legs
I've got envy I've got greed,
Anything that you need and I'm not above having to beg
There was this boy who
Tore my heart in two
And I had to lay him eight feet under ground
Now all I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down
And what I need is someone to save me
'Cause I am going down

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/

Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
Is that a subtle stab at the Catholic Church I see?
i think i realized it was a stab at the church when i listened to it, but until i saw your comment i didn't realize just how much of a stab it really was. is it possible for something to be so unsubtle it becomes subtle again? that's what this song is making me think.
She was raised as a Roman Catholic but is now a self-declared Atheist. Sounds like she is voicing her opinion to her parents (specifically her Father)...
This song is brilliant. About a girl that kills an ex because he hurt her eventhough he was "the best she ever had". She goes to confession and, at least to me, it seems like she's offern to sleep with the priest? I mean, the ine referring to getting her off when she needs a drag...either way, a very good piece of music. And from a Gossip Girl actress? Impressive.
haha this song is amazing!
hahaha this songs makes me laugh evertime i hear it, the pretty reckless can pull this off though :')
LOVE IT =) This girl killed her ex beacuse he cheated and broke her heart. Now she's trying to get the Priest... to the dark side lol. =D
I LOVE this song. It is just so fun. I think the meaning is pretty straight forward. She killed her ex cause she was sleeping with another girl, and then regrets it afterward because she releases that he was the best guy she's ever slept with. She goes to confession offers the priest a trade. If he saves her soul she will have sex with him. And might I add I love the double meaning of "Goin' Down". One is "Goin all the way down to hell" and the other is....well i let you figure that out for yourself I love how Taylor pokes fun at the Catholic Church so artfully. First with this song and then when she plays a slutty version of Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper. It's hard to believe she's only 17
She doesn't play a "slutty version" of Mary Magdalene, infact Mary Magdalene was a slut (prostitute) lol
i think she is telling"god" sarcastcaly how she killed her luver cuz he was with another girl, and shes asking to be saved and get help
and i think shes saying she going to hell because of she killed him and is asking to be saved
