《Holliston Street》是美國樂隊Rugburns演唱的歌曲,收錄於1994年發行的專輯《Morning Wood》。作品以1960年代波士頓霍利斯頓街的童年回憶為背景,通過孩童視角呈現家庭生活的溫暖圖景。
歌曲以敘事性歌詞串聯家庭生活片段,描繪父親哼唱、叔父教授鋼琴、姐弟互動等日常細節,並融入披頭士狂熱與宗教習俗等時代元素。重複的副歌“若我能知曉如今事,絕不催促歲月匆匆”點明對逝去時光的追憶,結尾以糖果汁液隱喻生活本質,強化成長與記憶交織的主題。

We lived on holliston street in the sixties
We didnt need much back then, just a smile
And daddy would sing
And buy us ice cream
And we would listen
Uncle louie would come over for dinner on sundays
He taught piano to my sister, kath
And Id stand behind
And imitate him
And she would laugh
And hed get mad
And if I knew then what I know now
I wouldnt rush the growing old
Id take the flu, the measles, and the blues
And I guess Id do as I was told
Kathy would walk up ahead, and Id follow
She seemed so big back then, and me so small
And mommy would give
Me one dime, and her two nickels
And I would cry
cause she got more
And if I knew then what I know now
I wouldnt rush the growing old
Id take the flu, the measles, and the blues
And I guess Id do as I was told
They let us stay up real late to watch ed sullivan
We saw the beatles two times that year
And daddy would laugh
And say, look at that dumb hair!
But I liked john
Man, I loved john
And Id give up candy for lent in the springtime
And mama was proud
And so were the nuns
I thought it was okay to eat the candy
If the wrapper was on
I was just sucking out the juices
The juices of life
And if I knew then what I know now
I wouldnt rush the growing old
Id take the flu, the measles, and the blues
And I guess Id do as I was told
