The song has nothing to do with Quincy, Mass. This song was originally written hundreds of years ago as a Celtic ballad called "Lannigan's Ball" about a guy named Lannigan who learned to dance and decided to throw a party to show off when a fight broke out and ruined it. DKM took the ballad and set it to punk, much like they did with "Finnegan's Wake", which was another Celtic ballad originally.
It is about Quincy, Mass. DkM did base the song on Lanigan's Ball but they changed a lot of the lyrics. In the original, the line went "Six long months I spent up in Dublin".
