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.
You're in our heart
just from 'round the land
you will be the champion
give it back to the crowd
like a fireball
You never, never give up
hear the engine calm
waiting for the start
Can't you see
you're ready for the victory
Its clear you're the hero just for you and me
I feel
we're in the Poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our
biggest star
Oh you can not lose
if you have a lucky hand
you will be the hero
you have many friends
this we can not buy
you will win again
nobody does it better
for passion and through pain
Can't you see
you're ready for the victory
Its clear
you're the hero just for you and me
I feel
you're in the poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our biggest star
You're ready for the victory
you're a hero just for you and me
we're in the poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our biggest star...
just from 'round the land
you will be the champion
give it back to the crowd
like a fireball
You never, never give up
hear the engine calm
waiting for the start
Can't you see
you're ready for the victory
Its clear you're the hero just for you and me
I feel
we're in the Poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our
biggest star
Oh you can not lose
if you have a lucky hand
you will be the hero
you have many friends
this we can not buy
you will win again
nobody does it better
for passion and through pain
Can't you see
you're ready for the victory
Its clear
you're the hero just for you and me
I feel
you're in the poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our biggest star
You're ready for the victory
you're a hero just for you and me
we're in the poleposition team
can't you see
it's like a dream
From Australia to usa
and from italy to germany
and from san marino to canada
he is our biggest star...

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/
