this is what craig finn (the lead singer of lifter puller) said about this song:
"This is loosely based on being at a party in the summer of 1989 in Minneapolis/St. Paul. There was some gang-type stuff happening; unorganized, but dangerous, especially in hindsight. A huge fight broke out and there were stabbings, baseball bats, cops, ambulances, etc. If it happened today there would have surely been guns too. I had nothing to do with it but I saw some nasty things. Shortly thereafter, I was in orientation at Boston College with kids who went to mass a few times a week. The idea with this song is that Jenny gets in pretty deep in the summer with nightlife, drugs, etc. but manages to get away from it all and escape back to school in September."
