"The Sweet Part of the City" Opens with the line, "Back when we were living up on Hennepin," and goes on to gauge, "It's a long way from Cedar-Riverside to Cedar-Sinai / Three times St. Paul to Cheyenne."

Says Finn (who verified that mileage): "It's about that time in your life when you move out of your parents' house and having a cool address is the most important thing in life. You don't care what kind of crappy job you have, you're just happy to be living wherever there's a bohemian kind of lifestyle."

"We Can Get Together" This song's play on "Heaven"-laced song titles gave Finn the excuse to name-check "Girl on Heaven Hill" and one of his favorite Minnesota bands. "She said Hüsker Dü got huge," he sings, "but they started in St. Paul. Do you remember 'Makes No Sense at All?' "

Says Finn: "I realized I've most often talked about the Replacements in interviews, but I really can't overstate Hüsker Dü's importance in my life."

"Barely Breathing" "Summer '88 was all heat and intensity / I saw the Youth of Today at the 7th Street Entry / There were skins in the pit / And some of them tried to kill me." It goes on to recount a show there the following summer when the band became Hare Krishnas.

Says Finn: "All true, except nobody tried to kill me. That just sounded good."
