@kingofdepew I guess only Barrett could give you the exact answer.
I think he is referring to a guy who just witnessed a murder and he 's about to be next because he is a witness ?
The sentence "An outbound was bearing down" is Boston speak for a train heading away from downtown. Rather than being killed by the tugs, he commits suicide.
Barrett often refers to Dorchester/Mattapan area of Boston in his songs.
This where the "red" subway line ends in Boston. I guess he is referring to that.
i fucking love the bosstones if aliens ever land here i hope they love them too i could totally see aliens flying 30 billion light years just to go to a bosstones concert
I shook the the singers hand at a dropkick murphys concert in the mass. he was backstage with his family. I was like holy shit. Asked the guard and waited till he was done. My friend got a signature on his poster
I can't help but sing along with that chorus, BLASTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION!

One of the best Bosstone songs ever. Considering these aren't all of the original Bosstones, This was a VERY good album. Dickey has a great voice.

Ya, this album is great. I think the better production has something to do with it. And the new guitar player is great
