Knights of Bostonia Lyrics
Caught the sun down at Castle Island
Summer spinning its finest gold
They were selling and we were buying
Just looking for someone to hold
I know the feeling of the fight I never saw you blink
We been up against the crab apple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all
I was working on the straight and narrow
You came at me like a cannonball
I saw you sleeping at the city stables
You made me feel all of ten feet tall
The coming on coming for all the
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street
That's right sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
I would follow you out of the city
Up Dot Ave to Savin Hill
Dock man says the water gonna kill me
Better that than sitting still
Coming on coming for all the
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street
That's right sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
I know the feeling of the fight I never saw you blink
We been up against the crabapple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all
And we'll fight the coming fall
So sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court to tell the king
We ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
Restless nights, the innocent street
A fist to fight, a summer to keep
We are the knights of junkyard raid
The trusty steed and a summer to save
We are the knights of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Summer spinning its finest gold
They were selling and we were buying
Just looking for someone to hold
We been up against the crab apple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all
You came at me like a cannonball
I saw you sleeping at the city stables
You made me feel all of ten feet tall
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
Up Dot Ave to Savin Hill
Dock man says the water gonna kill me
Better that than sitting still
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
We been up against the crabapple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all
And we'll fight the coming fall
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court to tell the king
We ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free
A fist to fight, a summer to keep
We are the knights of junkyard raid
The trusty steed and a summer to save
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia

In a video on their site Chad talks about this song as like a group of kids in Boston trying to fight of the fall and not let summer come to an end. So it seems to me like it should be "Coming on coming fall" like the fall is coming and it brings with it rules and cops and cold. Either way great song, can't wait for the rest of the cd.
"basically about a bunch of ragtag kids trying to fight off the fall, they want eternal summer"
I love this song!
This song makes me think of state radio as a communist band.
The songs rhythm and syllables is exactly the same as the communist national anthem, The Internationale
