Cover art for Bus Stop Boxer lyrics by Eels

I think that this song Is about a guy who was abandoned with his siblings by his father. They were wandering around and the guy wanted to support his family, so he started to make money from street fighting. The bit at the beginning about not missing home is saying that he doesn't miss it, cos he hates his dad, but he still dreams about it. May not be right, but it made sense to me.
