I got the highest heels on the street
But the don't get me high as I wanna be
I was born in summer sound
When all the New York city held it's breath
Scared to death

A regular boy in a Reagan time
With my BB gun and satellite
And boy did I want my MTV
And everything was easy
So easy it was easy

My oh my oh my we had promises too keep
I say my oh my oh my
Many miles to get to union street
If we could just get to union street everything would be alright

You were the prettiest girl in town
But your mum was a drug age kicked you around
And everyone new the word on the street
Knew she was easy oh so easy
Your ma' was easy

So meet me there in the parking lot
In that part of town that Jesus forgot
And bring those pills you stole from your ma'
We'll be here, we'll be here and we'll be gone, we'll be long gone

My oh my oh my we had promises too keep
I say my oh my oh my
Can you tell me the way to get to union street
If we could just get to union street

My oh my oh my we all have promises too keep
In the days of falling sky
With every house lit up on union street
If we can make it to union street

I say my oh my oh my
Its such along long way to go
And nobody gets out alive
But just as long as we got rock and roll
Then everything will be alright
It will be alright

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
