The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "I Wrote It" from Pin Points and Jin Joints (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary:
"I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer,
A crest sewn on the chest read, 'Old Gold Rugby Football Club,'
Worn at one time by a man that at one time went to Yale,
Then he worked a while on Wall Street 'til the market collapsed.
"I was at a barroom that was someone on the southern shore of Boston,
The tender of the bar poured me a whiskey on the house,
I have a love for whiskey, I chased it with a beer,
I have a love for Boston and I loved writing it there.
"I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow,
'Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow,'
It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan,
I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own.
"I wrote it in October and I mention that because
Out of all the months there are I've always liked that one the best,
I don't know why I bring this up, but there are times I wonder what
Had ever happened to that man, I wonder, after the collapse.
"I wrote it in a notebook that somebody let me borrow,
'Don't use all the paper please and if you could bring it back to me tomorrow,'
It was a fair request and I was grateful for the loan,
I had to jot a thought down I came up with on my own.
"I wrote, I wrote it for you.
I wrote, I wrote it for you.
I wrote, I wrote it for you.
I wrote, I wrote it for you.
"I wrote it and hour or so, so really not much longer,
I put the pencil in the shot glass and I buttoned up my blazer,
I stepped out of the bar into the cold October sun,
I must return the notebook, it's not important what I wrote."
