Honey get the kids, honey sort the leeks
Make sure that the barcodes match the receipts
Honey there's a store, a new place in town
They're selling new blades for my mower
New blades for my mower

It's funny how it pays, it's funny how it works
When you follow the codes from Head Office alerts
I read about a guy, he went walking away
Just walking and turned himself over
He turned himself over

Who tilts their head back and then swallows the pills
And expects to feel alive?
I've finally found, a new place in town
They're selling new blades for my mower
New blades for my mower

And this is the last time
That I'll sit with my mouth wide open
And wait for the flies to come in
From the grave of a grocer
The grave of a grocer

Honey I'm awake, honey I'm alive
It's funny ha ha when I tickle your sides
My neon's above, 24 hour love
My carrots are frozen all over
They're frozen all over

Who tilts their head back and then swallows the pills
And expects to feel alive?
I've finally found, a new place in town
It's funny I thought he looked older
I thought he looked older

And this is the last time
That I'll sit with my mouth wide open
And wait for the flies to come in
From the grave of a grocer
The grave of a grocer

And I try to be a man
And I try to be a man
And I try to see the life inside of me

And I tilt my head back and I swallow the pills
I no longer feel alive
Re-order the rolls, straighten the pies
My prices are starting to lower
They're starting to lower

And this is the last time
That I'll sit with my mouth wide open
And wait for the flies to come in
From the grave of a grocer
The grave of a grocer

My place in the sun and my house near the ocean
My place in the sun and my house near the ocean
Is fading away, it's fading away
And I'll hand myself over
I'll hand myself over

I'm catching you up and I've picked up your gloves
And I'm catching you up and I've picked up
your gloves
And I'm walking your dogs and I'm walking
your dogs
And I'm catching you up and I've picked up
your gloves

And I'm walking your dogs and I'm walking
your dogs
And I'm walking your dogs and I'm walking
your dogs

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
