which is to say, more West Coast Smoker questions. Have any of you either seen or worked out a good version of the lyrics? songmeanings.net has the best I've seen so far, but they don't have the bit I'm curious about: right about 1:30, it goes "got my degree in the gutter, [something something something] in the dorms of the Ivy League", unless it is 'Garden' for 'gutter'. Or something else entirely, who really knows. Between Patrick's enunciation and Pete's writing (which I feel sometimes approaches 'colorless green ideas sleep furiously' in terms of the syntactic/semantic devision), FOB's lyrics often are lost on me until I look them up.
