Aphrodite is rising from the shell, a newly born
To be seen, to expel from the paradise
To drink from her well
Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins
And the lust from that spell of the forbidden
Nectar from her well
Oh, Venus Illegitima (born again)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (without shame)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (child of sin)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (is my name)
Aphrodite is rising from the shell, a newly born
To be seen, to expel from the paradise
To drink from her well
Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins
And the lust from that spell of the forbidden
Nectar from her well
Oh, Venus Illegitima (born again)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (without shame)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (child of sin)
Oh, Venus Illegitima (is my name)
Oh, Venus Illegitima
Oh, Venus Illegitima

    Is this the right lyrics? I swear it's not... It's almost funny how little-known Therion is. One of THE best bands, ever.

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/
