building off of the previous comment, this song is very much an ode to vancouver, but specifically the main street neighbourhood. that said, "been around" refers to the three bean around the world cafes along main st, followed by slickety jim's chat and chew diner on main and 18th and the nice cafe on main and 8th. he really emphasizes "lugged", but i'm not sure about that one. and given the whole 'pining' for cedars and oak (neighbouring street to main) and all that.. really, the whole thing is a big extended play on words. just great. love dan mangan.
