This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Whisky crosswords, such a list of lost love
A twist of the trysts, like an accidental trip
Frost covered and faking the shakes
So white and she's burning
She purrs. So ditched and deadly
The sweetest melody
At twenty three, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
A hand in hand of the rest
We met the same way we left
We stay hidden and unforgiven
Too young to know the difference
Between words whispered out of love
And words we could have screamed so easily
Twenty three, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
At twenty three, she sees the future
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
A twist of the trysts, like an accidental trip
Frost covered and faking the shakes
So white and she's burning
She purrs. So ditched and deadly
The sweetest melody
At twenty three, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
A hand in hand of the rest
We met the same way we left
We stay hidden and unforgiven
Too young to know the difference
Between words whispered out of love
And words we could have screamed so easily
Twenty three, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
At twenty three, she sees the future
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free

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/
