You can see the source of THAT line from the Ledge.  Also seems he was
listening to Springsteen's NEBRASKA in those days; another reason for me
to like St. Paul.

Comments and corrections are welcome.

It's Hard to Wave in Handcuffs
(or, "What Did I Do?")
(Paul Westerberg)

Sweat poured down his brow
When the temperature is below zero
First guy tries to rob
Turns out to be a hero
 
He ran, he rid
When the guys said
Just forget it kid

If it's a hood they want,
It's a hood they'll get
This time he is ready 
And set

Guzzled half a Coke/Colt 
That was sitting on a dryer
In an old laundromat
What do you think about it

When he was through he put the bottle in a jacket
With six more from the rack
Stumbled into an alley
For some fun and money
And some crackerjack
(BURP)

Wipe that goddamn smile off face
I'll pull a hole your wife cant mend
Stuck my gun into his ribs
I'm glad I left the bullets where I did

Just don't say nothing
Don't say nothing

AAAaaaaargh !!

Walked down the street
Snow is falling down
Twenty bucks he took,
Left one buck
'Tip a bum,
It's good luck.'

Bruce Springsteen
Getting his hair curled.
Otis redding
Hanging out the clothes

Wipe that goddamn smile old friend
I'll blow a hole your wife can't mend
I'll shoot your head and rip that chest
U can move in it, just be my guest
Wipe that motherfucker off that
I own that Cadillac

God what did I do

A girl I haven't seen in years
Waved to me 
I held my tears
She thought my shirt it must have been stuffed
It's hard to wave in handcuffs
