I was watching The Departed the other night. It’s always fun to watch a movie filmed in the city you live in, regardless of the city and regardless of how good or bad the movie is.

At one frantic part of the movie they play a well known Dropkick Murphys song. A song I’ve always recognized but never knew the name of or lyrics to. So off to the interweb I went…

Now these lyric sites are pretty much all the same. The page takes forever to load and you’re convinced a virus is being downloaded to your computer in that small window of time. And there’s always some sort of pop-up pushing a T.I. ring tone or some other nonsense.

What made me laugh this night was what I saw when I landed on a lyric site focused around the meaning of the lyrics. This is what it had for “Shipping Up to Boston,” the song in question.

Ha! I’m so glad DarkmasterOfTheLyrics broke it down for us.
