This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The carpenter went to his dark place again
Mouth full of gravy and turkey and truth
Only hears you when you say amen
So heavy is his burden of proof
Said his enemies he always outfoxes
So many dark forces at play
So many carpenters building little boxes
In the faded glory USA
When you look at me
I look away
I told him well I guess in my role
As a professional singer and ham
Instead of a cane I’ve got a broken soul
And it’s with the deaf and dumb I stand
God bless your coldhearted causes
Your cartoons and curses are a bore
Your eyes aglow like stolen watches
The righteous so eager for war
When you look at me
I look away
Your god’s a good chance to get stupid
It really brings up the blood
It will spin you dizzy as Cupid
Like a broken doll in a flood
You make me feel the noose is tightening
Though I know I lean melodramatic
The soundtrack for everything I see
Is played by those hacks from the Titanic
When they open fire
We look away
Mouth full of gravy and turkey and truth
Only hears you when you say amen
So heavy is his burden of proof
Said his enemies he always outfoxes
So many dark forces at play
So many carpenters building little boxes
In the faded glory USA
When you look at me
I look away
I told him well I guess in my role
As a professional singer and ham
Instead of a cane I’ve got a broken soul
And it’s with the deaf and dumb I stand
God bless your coldhearted causes
Your cartoons and curses are a bore
Your eyes aglow like stolen watches
The righteous so eager for war
When you look at me
I look away
Your god’s a good chance to get stupid
It really brings up the blood
It will spin you dizzy as Cupid
Like a broken doll in a flood
You make me feel the noose is tightening
Though I know I lean melodramatic
The soundtrack for everything I see
Is played by those hacks from the Titanic
When they open fire
We look away

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/
