In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
And that's the thing
That thing right there
That's my girl, I can't share
Maybe I'm selfish, I get a little jealous
I lose my mind when you say that
Balmain silk slip off your back
You get so impatient
I know you got your cravings
So tell me you didn't tell all of your girlfriends about this (yeah)
Tell me you still think my neighbors don't know, girl, you shout it (yeah)
Girl, I know that you've been trying, I swear I'm the proudest (yeah)
But the question is, girl, do you think you could live without it? (Without it)
Nothing on you when you naked
Except a Cartier bracelet
Silhouette through the shower
Fuck you 24 hours
Sun peeking through the curtains
Know I'm with you when you're hurting
Baby girl, the world's ours
Fuck you 24 hours
In that shit like oh
Baby girl, the world's ours
Fuck you 24 hours
In that shit like oh
Nothing on you when you naked
Except a Cartier bracelet
Nothing on you when you naked
Got a pretty little heart, I don't wanna break it
Girl, I just want to save you
Swear to God, thank the Lord every day that he made you
All the girls tryna flex, they don't phase you
Take you down with my guns, then we blaze, ooh
Get rough, I'ma stay through, stay through
'Cause she rare (oh, yeah)
The way she lookin' in the mirror unfair
You know we couldn't even make it upstairs
Had to hit it right there
Nothing on you when you naked
Except a Cartier bracelet
Silhouette through the shower
Fuck you 24 hours
Sun peeking through the curtains
Know I'm with you when you're hurting
Baby girl, the world's ours
Fuck you 24 hours
like oh
Baby girl, the world's ours
Fuck you 24 hours
In that shit like oh
Nothing on you when you naked
Except a Cartier bracelet, yeah, yeah
That thing right there
That's my girl, I can't share
Maybe I'm selfish, I get a little jealous
I lose my mind when you say that
Balmain silk slip off your back
You get so impatient
I know you got your cravings
So tell me you didn't tell all of your girlfriends about this (yeah)
Tell me you still think my neighbors don't know, girl, you shout it (yeah)
Girl, I know that you've been trying, I swear I'm the proudest (yeah)
But the question is, girl, do you think you could live without it? (Without it)
Nothing on you when you naked

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/
