Intro : The barrel fire's fading, my pals are disappearing. Another night is passing but I won't go. It's 2am at Townie and things are going my way. Three Buds, a glove and a foot of snow. There's two little shits selling joints on the hill. And the kids down the lot are burning cruisers for a thrill. See, we had each other, it was us against the world. Famous for nothing, yeah, nothing was our world.       Well these lies won't save me.       Don't you know, don't you know.       From the times that made me.       Here we go, here we go. The courts are filling up, all the kids are coming down. For a head start on the troubles of a long night on the town. Yeah, thank God it's Saturday and half my problems go away. Sure, the big ones on the way, but I know how to handle them. 9 to 3 on weekdays, on the hour Sundays. The Good Lord was calling me, but I wasn't up. From the convent to the rectory and over in the sacristy. I'm a goddamn travesty, and that's just my luck.       Well these lies won't save me.       Don't you know, don't you know.       From the times that made me.       Here we go, here we go.             Here we go !    Yeah ! Their gang went my way for basketball. My gang went their way for alcohol. When we met it wasn't pretty at all.         Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing.          Middle Eight : 9 to 3 on weekdays, on the hour Sundays. Jesus Christ was calling me !             Here we go !    Yeah ! Their gang went my way for basketball. My gang went their way for alcohol. When we met it wasn't pretty at all.         Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing.          Their gang went my way for basketball. My gang went their way for alcohol. When we met it wasn't pretty at all.         Still the bells of St. Mary's were ringing.         The bells of St. Mary's were ringing.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques d’une jeunesse pleine de camaraderie, où les moments passés entre amis au bar sont teintés d’innocence et de légèreté, malgré les épreuves qui les entourent. Le narrateur raconte la vie de quartier, les joies simples comme le basketball et les soirées arrosées, tout en faisant face aux défis de la vie quotidienne. On ressent aussi un appel intérieur, une lutte entre l'attrait du plaisir et un désir de repenser à des valeurs plus profondes. Le contexte se situe dans une ambiance urbaine, avec des références à des rituels du week-end et à un mélange de frissons et de troubles qui ponctuent leur existence. C’est une vie marquée par des choix et des chemins que chacun suit, tout en gardant en toile de fond la mélodie réconfortante des cloches de l’église, symbole d’une certaine tradition et d’un espace de réflexion.
