This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
(And if the honeys think I'm stuck up,
I tell 'em shut the fuck up,
I tell 'em shut the fuck up.)
All that she meant was good,
All that she meant was good.
Give her some time,
Give her some room.
All that she meant was good.
Better keep your mouth shut, babe,
Next to your chest,
Better keep your mouth closed baby,
And keep it close to your chest,
Better keep your mouth closed baby
Keep it close to your chest.
All that she meant was good.
(Not goin' down that road)
All that she meant was good.
Give her some time, give her some space.
All that she meant was good.
How she reacted was right.
Mother I'm hungry, mother I'm hungry.
Father will you feed me
Father will you feed me
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
How you reacted was right.
Not goin' down that road
Not goin' down that road
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me?
Best to keep your mouth shut, baby,
And keep it close to your chest.
I tell 'em shut the fuck up,
I tell 'em shut the fuck up.)
All that she meant was good,
All that she meant was good.
Give her some time,
Give her some room.
All that she meant was good.
Better keep your mouth shut, babe,
Next to your chest,
Better keep your mouth closed baby,
And keep it close to your chest,
Better keep your mouth closed baby
Keep it close to your chest.
All that she meant was good.
(Not goin' down that road)
All that she meant was good.
Give her some time, give her some space.
All that she meant was good.
How she reacted was right.
Mother I'm hungry, mother I'm hungry.
Father will you feed me
Father will you feed me
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me.
How you reacted was right.
Not goin' down that road
Not goin' down that road
Mother I'm hungry, father will you feed me?
Best to keep your mouth shut, baby,
And keep it close to your chest.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
He's angry and she's trying to calm him down. I guess Björk is Tricky's sensitive side in this song. He's coming to terms with what's happening and it kinda sounds like he won over Björk in the end. But I didn't know that they were snippets of "You've Been Flirting." Interesting.
