So we're sitting at Lulu's or Lucy's or whatever it's called on A and that Specials AKA song comes on where the girl gets raped. Do you know it? It's called The Boiler which means spinster or cougar and it's kind of a spoken word song where this 30 something woman goes out on a date with some hooligan guy and he rapes her. He's all, "I bought that gear you got on, I paid you in here tonight" etc then he drags her in an alleyway and rapes her.The song ends with her screaming blue murder at the top of her lungs and she's a pretty good actor. Like it sounds exactly like someone getting raped. Coincidentally everyone in the bar happened to be having a fantastic time. So we're hearing the screams of a rape victim and (no joke) watching people high five each other (playing pool), laugh, hug and just generally be merry. It was so fucking weird we had to laugh our heads off. Who the fuck picked that song? Anyway, you should download it. It's heavy shit.The Boiler – LyricsI went out shopping last saturday
I was getting some gear, and this guy offered to pay
Who's the hunk? I think to myself
For so many years I've been left on the shelf
An old boilerThen we went walking back down the high street
And I felt so proud because he looked so neat
He was a real hard man, tough as they come
He said I was cool but I still felt like
An old boilerHe bid me "Come out", how could I say no?
He said "Meet me at eight round my place, you know"
With my new gear on, and a blow dried hair-do
But in my mind I knew I was sill
An old boilerWe danced all night long to a nice steady beat
But my hair went to frizz in the terrible heat
My mascara ran, and so did my tights
Confirming in my sight, I must be
An old boilerSo we came out this club, hot and sweaty
Because we'd been dancing all night
And he says to me "Well babe, what you doing then?"
"Well I think I might get a cab" I said casually
"Nah nah, come back to my place, I only live just round the corner
You can go home in the morning, yeah?"
"Well I don't think so, I've only known you a day, It' a bit soon innit
Give me a ring sometime yeah?"
But then he starts to get mad
"Listen here girl, I bought that gear you got on, I paid you in here tonight
I bought you all them drinks and you wanna go home, I should bleedin coco"
And then he stormed offWell, I felt a right mug, well you would wouldn't you
So I ran after him, caught him up
And here we are walking down this street about a hundred miles per hour
Arm in arm, no talking, atmosphere you could have cut with a knifeThere's no-one about, nothing to take your mind off it you know
No cars, not even the occasional stray animal
It was cold and the wind's whistling through the tree's
Blowing newspapers accross my legs so I tripped as I tried to keep up with him
And there was all these alleyways and railway bridges, the stink of pissThe all of a sudden he grabbed hold of my arm
And he starts to drag me up one of these alleyways
Then he starts to hit me really hard across the face, you know
He was hitting me and grabbing at me
It was awful because he was, like, so big
Hitting me he was, and tearing at my clothes
There was nothing I could do honest, I was helpless
And then he tried to rape me, and there was nothing I could do, honest
All I could do was scream, no…
