It is indeed "the street that losers use," and that line came from Johnny Cash's song Home Of The Blues |

I added this last night. As far as I know, there's no official written version of these lyrics, but the version that's floating around on other sites is pretty bad. This is as close as I could get.
As for what it means... I have no clue. Seems like a huge metaphor of the human body, based on all the bodily references. |

I don't want to get very into examining the song, but I do know Ted Leo was born on September 11th, and he mentions September and being a Virgo (Dog) a lot in this song. |

That's actually a good question. It's pretty insane how good of a debut album this is. Then again, just look at the guys' pasts. Dave had time to practice in The Curse. Also, he got to study under Dan Yemin in Paint It Black. So did Spider in his six months in Kid Dynamite. Mike's past is my favorite. He was part of Trial By Fire in DC. That group had a bunch of greatly written songs as well. This band is really an all-star mixture. I wonder what will change with Spider leaving the band. |

| Ambulance LTD – Ophelia Lyrics

I think you guys are a bit too quick to lump all these lyrics into the 'drug' category. This song is all Hamlet, and I'm sure it has personal implications for the singer, Marcus Congleton.
"There's still life in the heart." - Hamlet treats Ophelia like shit in the play, but once he finds out about her death, his true loving feelings come out.
"It's easier in the soft light of the shimmery, shadow windows" - The whole 'to be or not to be' soliloqy is about the advantages of suicide (easyness), and Ophelia dies by drowning herself. Shimmery shadow windows isn't a drug reference, it's a metaphor for water.
"I'm late for hundreds of things, the walls are thin but I can't reach through them" - Hamlet is a busy guy in this play. Lots of shit on his to do list, but he's slow, always wasting time talking to himself. His major goal, kill the king, is something he should be able to do easily, but he wastes his opportunities. The walls are thin. He can easily reach through them, but he doesn't. He procrastinates and acts crazy ("chasing dragons down the street").
If you read the play, everything else is obvious. Hamlet has 4 or 5 soliloquies, so this guy is obviously "seething from the inside"
This is a greatly written song. Admirable too. Marcus knows his shit, and he write's a hell of a song to put himself in the shoes of Hamlet. Still, I see absolutley no drug references. |

Anyone else think this tune is kinda countryish? Reminds me a lot of the new country/punk songs from None More Black, "Who Crosses State Lines..." and "10 Ton Jiggawatts." Really cool. |
