This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's a man, runnin' hot
And there's a night train
I know he's gonna stick it out
Ride that crazy white horse
He's a man
He's a pig in paradise
But he might get blown into the weeds tonight
Seems like there's a record stuck
And man I couldn't make it up
He's a cool hand Luke
He's a duke on a slippery slope
He's dispossessed and crazy
Thank you for nothing baby
All those dreams are going up in smoke
I said
Hey Floyd, you got your mind in a mess again
Hey Floyd, you gotta learn how to break the chain
Oh oh, yeh eh
There's a night train to your heartbreak
Get on
It's the dream time
That's been driving you on
No more blue sky hanging over your head
So what you gonna do Floyd?
(Do Floyd)
I gotta know, gotta know what you're gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do?
What ya gonna do Floyd? (do Floyd)
I gotta know, I've gotta know what you're going to do
There's a night train to your heartbreak get on
It's the dream time
That's been driving you on, and on
No more blue sky hanging over your head
No more blue skies hanging over you ooh
Come on Floyd!
Shoot 'em up and shoot 'em down
Cut down this bird of freedom
Kick it, stick it, doin' what you can
Gotta make the pieces fit
Get rid of all that shit
Floyd, you can't forget that you're a man
I said
Hey Floyd, you got your mind in a mess again
Hey Floyd, you got time on your hands to mend
Come on Floyd!
Gotta learn to break the chain down baby
Hey Floyd!
Gotta learn to break the chain down baby
Get off that shotgun ride
I know how much you tried
To blow the high priestess of pain away
You're a lone extravaganza
A dirty player and a dirty dancer
Hell man, you don't even know your name
Hey Floyd, you got your mind in a mess again
(You got your mind in a mess again)
Hey Floyd, you gotta learn how to break the chain
(Dirty player, dirty dancer)
Come on Floyd
(Dirty player, dirty dancer)
It's all I ask of you
(Dirty player, dirty dancer)
Come on Floyd
It's all I ask of you
Hey Floyd,
Don't get your mind in a mess again
And there's a night train
I know he's gonna stick it out
Ride that crazy white horse
He's a man
He's a pig in paradise
But he might get blown into the weeds tonight
Seems like there's a record stuck
And man I couldn't make it up
He's a cool hand Luke
He's a duke on a slippery slope
He's dispossessed and crazy
Thank you for nothing baby
All those dreams are going up in smoke

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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/
I agree with another poster that its quite funny other fans haven't spoken up here. Jamiroquai music is definitely fun first and may not be as deep as other acts but nevertheless has a lot of soul and this song was one of the most interesting ones to think about.
Honestly though there isn't much depth to explore as all the lyrics should add up for anyone who is even remotely exposed to popculture (note I did NOT say drugs) would figure out the following verses:
Riding the white horse is VERY COMMONLY used along with riding the train in movies etc for drug references. It can be used for coke as cocaine is also white but actually more fitting for this song is the true meaning of riding the white horse which is for heroin. China White is a type of Heroin which is the most pure. Why heroin and not coke here? Because if you understand the drugs , you get that coke is not taken to escape from pain but to excite yourself in a usually already good mood. Heroin is commonly used as a drug to escape pain as it is an excellent blocker to physical and psychic pains (Kurt Cobain & stomach issues anyone?).
The song goes on with further references to support heroin as follows: Night train to your heartbreak, No more blue skies so what are you going to do ? (As drug users often don't stop to think and will instinctively use drugs to escape the pain without even giving themselves a chance to try any other method to be free of it).
Also, the phrase shoot em up . stick it seem to heavily reference how heroin is commonly used, to shoot, to stick means to inject.
There's many other references but mind in a mess etc is probably the easiest tell.
Anyway, one could easily be forgiven for saying coke though because lead singer JayKay has openly admitted to kicking a long running habit of coke a while back and may have been drawing on that time for inspiration to the song.
Floyd is up for grabs anyway can't find anything significant about it & doesn't have to do with the band afaik.
Anyway, the song is musically perfect as it combines up beat funk with a beautiful breakdown section of ska/reggae beat and does this perfectly without losing any of it's vibe. Just a song I could listen to all the time. LOVE IT!
