This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Everybody's building the big ships and the boats.
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes.
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy,
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
Now I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet.
But guarding fumes and making haste, it ain't my cup of meat.
Everybody's just standing around 'neath the trees
feeding pigeons on a limb.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, all the pigeons gonna run to him.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can't recite 'em all.
Just tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get any sleep, there's someone on everybody's toes.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes.
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy,
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
Now I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet.
But guarding fumes and making haste, it ain't my cup of meat.
Everybody's just standing around 'neath the trees
feeding pigeons on a limb.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, all the pigeons gonna run to him.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can't recite 'em all.
Just tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get any sleep, there's someone on everybody's toes.
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
what the hell is this song about??
its a bob dylan song the dead just covered it.
Reality is not fixed, and certainly has never been fixed for as deep a person as Bob Dylan, as mystical person as Bob Dylan, and as serious of an artist as Bob Dylan. Is this song talking about a drug dealer, maybe...if so, it's certainly not as direct as say "The Pusher" by Steppenwolf. Is it about Jesus (or another savior figure), perhaps...is it a reference to Anthony Quinn, well of course, at least it could be. Dylan is an artist, quite complicated as a person, some of his songs are quite direct and easy to interpret, this is not one of those songs. It is a bit of an oddity in Dylan's work, though he's wrote numerous songs that tend to get "sing-along-ish", this one is very much in that vein, and very much more of a 'pop song" than most anything else he's ever done, at least in my memory. And, like many great writers, he may have intended people to draw multiple meanings, to create the meaning for themselves, and since it is so "pop" sounding, a lot of fun can be had in just enjoying the song/tune regardless of what the thing actually means. For what it's worth, I don't think so many of the 60's songs many are always claiming to be about drugs, are necessarily about drugs.
