Ok, I like the line about Mary Jo, "No she couldn't come she says 'hello'...no, Eddie Walker, she dodn't hate yer guts Fist slam" - I think it shows that Eddie is kind of socially paranoid, and assumes everyone hates him, and gets angry about it. The singer is trying to convince him that Mary Jo doesn't hate his guts, and that none of his other friends (that he assumes hate his guts) do either, and the fist slam shows frustration, maybe on both sides, over Eddie always being afraid of people hating him, and making a big deal out of it. Anyways, I just like that little bit a lot, I guess cause I can relate a bit.
