Blinded by the light song question?

This is a line in the song and i cant figure out what it means.


"And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band"





and this one too...


"In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat"

Some hard to forget stoned and bloodshot daddy's girl was close by, so her dad won't come running with his shotgun full of buckshot turn up the music so he won't hear what is going on.





"In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat"





He's sad and sick with the mumps so the adolescent jacks off in his hat (unable to go party cause he's sick)
