The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I always heard that his herb was top shelf
People, I just could not wait to find out for myself
Now can't knock it till you've tried it and I've tried it my friend
I may get drunk in Cincinnati in summer time two thousand and twelve
But I'll never smoke Weed with Willie again!
We learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He roll up a fat boy and he passed it around
Last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He pour me some Old Whiskey River my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Climbed on this old bus, the Honeysuckel Rose
The party, Las Vegas it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, it was just me and him
I took one little bitty toke, the grim creeper kicked in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He pour me some more Whiskey River my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we're passing the guitar, we're telling good joke
I can tell one was coming
I'd start smelling that old South Texas, Willie Nelson red-haired, sensibly-made country smoke
People I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high
Never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He can pour me some more Jack Daniel's my friend
Never smoke weed with Willie again
Oh down in the fetal position with a bunch drool on my chin
Man I broke down and got stone weed with Willie again
People, I just could not wait to find out for myself
Now can't knock it till you've tried it and I've tried it my friend
I may get drunk in Cincinnati in summer time two thousand and twelve
But I'll never smoke Weed with Willie again!
We learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He roll up a fat boy and he passed it around
Last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He pour me some Old Whiskey River my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Climbed on this old bus, the Honeysuckel Rose
The party, Las Vegas it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, it was just me and him
I took one little bitty toke, the grim creeper kicked in
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He pour me some more Whiskey River my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
Now we're passing the guitar, we're telling good joke
I can tell one was coming
I'd start smelling that old South Texas, Willie Nelson red-haired, sensibly-made country smoke
People I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high
Never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it begins
He can pour me some more Jack Daniel's my friend
Never smoke weed with Willie again
Oh down in the fetal position with a bunch drool on my chin
Man I broke down and got stone weed with Willie again

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
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/
