As mentioned here, 737 was their fan-mail PO BOX. "737 still lives and gives" was something they used to say a lot. The Bosstones were always good to their fans.
I think this song is about the Bosstones appreciation for their fans and friends.
--"Nice to know that someone hears us
It's good to know somebody's there"
and back to the fact that 737 was their fan mail po box...
--"Taking the time to show you care
Write again and thanks again from the bottom of my heart
See you soon and till then 737 is a real big part"
Again, its about the band's appreciation for their fans and the fact that they'd actually go and check the PO Box and respond.
"shoe glue, what can i do, a man is not well-dressed if his shoes are a mess."
--The bosstones always dressed up given the ska, punk, skate and hardcore influences on the band. They've said in interviews something like "if you're going to do a show, you should dress like you care." or something like that. So imagine, going across town to check the mail and your dress shoes get dirty from the Boston downtown streets.
