Seven-eleven he rolled
And all his life was a golden gamble
You'd see him reeling it in when the odds were high
Something supernatural, a charlatan, a mastermind
Or some lucky lady's design

Oh, what the devil, it's fun
His lady luck was his one companion
And by the silver and gold
His heart had been bought and bound
But he chanced to fall in new love
He kissed her and he cut the tie
And kissed his lucky lady goodbye

Oh, spin your wheel of fortune
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice
Are you with me in love
Like you've been with me in life
If I leave you for a lover
Would you leave me far behind

You should've known from the start
She'd take no part in a love triangle
You have to be her's alone
And go it on your own
Because if you've found a new love
Lady Luck is gonna step aside
So kiss your lucky lady goodbye

Spin your wheel of fortune
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice
Are you with me in love
Like you've been with me in life?
If I leave you for an hour
Would you leave me far behind?

Seven-eleven he rolled
And all his life was a golden gamble
You'd see him reeling it in when the odds were high
Something supernatural, a charlatan, was a mastermind
Or some lucky lady's
Or some jealous lady
Kiss your lucky lady goodbye
Don't pass this way again, goodbye
Don't pass this way again, goodbye

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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/
