She´s been spinnig for a little while - But it´s not gonna last
Laughing, smiling says there´s no way back - At least not to right track
But there´s a cracker on the ground - And it will soon explode
There´s some fireworks in the sky - And they will soon fade like you

Structure now, but in a little while -She´s gonna run back
To the chaos isn´t that what we all - Are heading back for
There´s a cracker on the ground - And it will soon explode
There´s some fireworks in the sky

The crackers are still on ground
But I know they´ll soon make a big sound
There´ll be a huge show in late December
Though there will be snow I know
That it will show, yeah it will show

And she will tell everyone about - Her spinning
Cause she has taken her stuff and - Just moved in
To this guy, though she hardly knows - His name
Well, she hopes that she is gonna - Feel the same

She will tell him he´s the one and only
But in the night she dreams ´bout the dark and the lonely

    I think the upbeat sound of this song sort of hides the lonely lyrics. It's hopeful, but there's still despair; a sense of wariness, and uncertainty. "She" so desperately clings to the possibility of a relationship with this man to escape her lonely life, but can't help but think about all the things that haunt her mind in the nights. In a sense, I can relate.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
