about
Some of this is true.
lyrics
I was fresh off the boat
The one with ten wheels
The one with the twelve dollar Chinatown deals
Set in Slummerville, swinging for the fences
Kids carving "kill a yuppie" on the cars and the benches
They're all stuck in their ways
Going down the square, not coming back for days
Gray above and below
They gotta make their own weather to beat the cold and the snow
Do you wanna go down to the square?
Couldn't pick the right color collar to wear
So I just stopped trying and grew out all my hair
Found the one place where nobody would care
Buckley working the door, ale in the air
Well down at the Toad where only fifty fit inside
It's where they keep the blues and the blue-eyed soul alive
Low end makes the law schoolers weak in the knees
Haggerty says if you still got it in your 50s, you got the disease
Now we're stuck in our ways
Going down the square, not coming back for days
Gray above and below
We gotta make our own weather to beat the cold and the snow
Do you wanna go down to the square?
Down in Central Square there's a bar that knows no shame
Everybody knows your face, nobody knows your name
Ol' Chris is always working the crowd
She'll read your round on your lips when it gets too loud
No matter who's in the band, Candido sets the sound
Heaven's missing two angels with the Couper twins around
We were supposed to bring a date but we never remembered
We were too busy learning the tricks, the key changes, the bassline in September
Now we're stuck in our ways
Going down the square, not coming back for days
Gray above and below
We gotta make our own weather to beat the cold and the snow
Do you wanna go down to the square?
We're getting older now
Covering less ground
All our friends moved to Arlington and they never come around
But down on the corner, Mike Casey's going strong
A four-alarm fire couldn't keep him down for long
He's a small business owner with conservative tendencies
Says ladies wanna F him for his steak tips receipt
The girls come and go, it's nobody's loss
Everybody on the block wonders what does it cost
A little corn syrup, a little soy sauce, a little salt and pepper is all that it costs
Now we're stuck in our ways
