À L'orée des Bois Lyrics
We carried up a 24, we brought it to the third floor, it was like lifting a bull
Close the windows looking out over Parc Avenue
'Cause we don't need no soccer fans getting on the record
And the heat in here is something fierce and I swear it's making us see double
We woke up today and I thought I was yesterday
Summer months keep rolling by and we'd like to try to finish it by wintertime
What once was a monster is now a friend of mine
'Cause we want to make this life into a living
Oh my, The Woodman's on the phone and Nic is up on the calendar
Saint-Jean-Baptiste is gonna eat us all alive
Close the windows looking out over Parc Avenue
'Cause we don't need no soccer fans getting on the record
We woke up today and I thought I was yesterday
Summer months keep rolling by and we'd like to try to finish it by wintertime
What once was a monster is now a friend of mine
Oh my, The Woodman's on the phone and Nic is up on the calendar
Saint-Jean-Baptiste is gonna eat us all alive

"The Woodman" is the nickname of Matt Woodley, the drummer. I think the correct line would be "Nic is up on the calendar" since Nic is one of the singer/guitarists.
Saint-jean-baptiste... I'd have to assume is their agent or manager or producer or something.
Anyway this song is fantastic and once you get the details you can really just appreciate how the song is about putting work into your dreams and having a great time doing it. It might be a "monster" for a while, but soon you'll love it.
No clue what the French is at the end though, Francophones?
Thanks, "knickers up on the calendar" didn't make any sense but I couldn't think of anything better. Saint-Jean-Baptiste is a neighbourhood in Quebec City, maybe where they recorded the album?

Saint-Jean-Baptiste is actually the National Holiday for the province of Québec. It's on June 24th and it's a very expected party and in Montreal, the party takes place in the Parc Jean-Drapeau, surrounded by trees.

The little boy sings the title of the song "À l'orée des bois", which could mean something like "At the edge of the trees"

So, the 24 might be a 24 pack of beers, the heat of summer fits with the event of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the title could show the excitment of the boys for this great party, where, even though you're separatist or not, you just go and celebrate and drink on the streets and in the parks, since the police let us do that on that day.
