It's been a long night
And I've tired out my knees down to the bone
and my heart of stone
I should feel lucky but I don't

Sometimes I'm lonely
When I'm stuck here on this throne
As the children groan
They should feel lucky but they don't

Everybody wants
They want they want they want...

In a heartbeat they're gone
Slipped into the night
And its black as coal
We should feel lucky but we don't

Everybody wants
They want they want they want...

It's cold as fuck
Frosted feet
Cut my hand
Raking leaves

The chappedest lips
The driest eyes
Coldest breeze

Shut off the taps
For the deep freeze
Minus one
Hundred degrees

String up the lights
In the backyard
It's Father-Son

The kitchen's warm
Our stomachs speak
My Mother's meals

Our hearts are so cold
But not because we want it all
and not because we need it
It's because we don't know how

It's got me wanting like Veruca

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
