Away with the buff and the blue and away with the cap and the feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Her father loves her well, her mother loves her dearer
I love her better than them both but man, I can't get near her
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

If only I could be, lying there aside her
While I watched my dear and my arms would be denied her
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Her skin is like the silk and her hair is like the silver
Her breasts are deep but full, they'll fall when I get near her
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Of this love of mine, of this love I'm weary
Sleep I can't get none for thinking of my dearie
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Away with the parson's shilling, away with the cap and the feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Off to the Sadie Syke, over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

Away with the buff and the blue, away with the cap and feather
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire
Off to the Sadie Syke and over the moss and the mire
I want to see my lass who lives in Hexhamshire

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
