This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Been standing in the corner,
studying the lights.
The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night
But someone had put the flares up,
And got me in the rays.
So
I guess I’d better stay
"uh uh, no come on,’' you say
It’s a fool’s gold thunder
It’s just a warring rain
Don’t let the fears just start ‘what if
I won’t see you again’
'Round here you never want to sleep all night
So start falling in love, start the riot and
come on rage with me
we don’t need words
and we’ll be birds
got to make our own key
only got this moment
you and me
guilty of nothing
but geography
come on and raise it
come on and raise this noise
for the million people
who got not one voice
come on it’s not over
if you mean it say loud
come on all for Love
out from the underground
away with me
we don’t need words
close your eyes and see
and we’ll be birds
flying free
holding on in the mystery
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Fearless together
You said ‘we’ll go through this together’
When you fly won’t you
Won’t you take me too?
In this world so cruel
I think you’re so cool
studying the lights.
The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night
But someone had put the flares up,
And got me in the rays.
So
I guess I’d better stay
"uh uh, no come on,’' you say
It’s a fool’s gold thunder
It’s just a warring rain
Don’t let the fears just start ‘what if
I won’t see you again’
'Round here you never want to sleep all night
So start falling in love, start the riot and
come on rage with me
we don’t need words
and we’ll be birds
got to make our own key
only got this moment
you and me
guilty of nothing
but geography
come on and raise it
come on and raise this noise
for the million people
who got not one voice
come on it’s not over
if you mean it say loud
come on all for Love
out from the underground
away with me
we don’t need words
close your eyes and see
and we’ll be birds
flying free
holding on in the mystery
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Fearless together
You said ‘we’ll go through this together’
When you fly won’t you
Won’t you take me too?
In this world so cruel
I think you’re so cool

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/

"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference.
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
-
Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over"
Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead.
"But you see it's not me
It's not my family"
References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
