This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Lately I've been occupied
with losing everything but pride
I'm like the greek economy
and that would make you Germany
It will require decency
a lot of it, and not from me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
Lately I've been running
of all I thought I was about
it's terrifying just to scream and shout
but you would only gloat, no doubt
It will require decency
a lot of it, and not from me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
It will require decency
a lot of it
and we're not talking about me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
instead of this one sided sodomy
instead of this repeated sodomy
instead of this repeated sodomy
with losing everything but pride
I'm like the greek economy
and that would make you Germany
It will require decency
a lot of it, and not from me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
Lately I've been running
of all I thought I was about
it's terrifying just to scream and shout
but you would only gloat, no doubt
It will require decency
a lot of it, and not from me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
It will require decency
a lot of it
and we're not talking about me
to establish equality
instead of this unwanted sodomy
instead of this one sided sodomy
instead of this repeated sodomy
instead of this repeated sodomy

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
