  • He raped me in the chalet lines
    The girl I shared with was away for the night
    I couldn't get up for my shift today
    I'll have to leave the camp now anyway

    I'll go to London there's a mate of mine I know
    She'll give me a place
    Full of woe and further to go
    She caught the bus

    "Oh I'll go anywhere"
    She caught the bus
    Her face was just a smear on the pane
    He raped me in the chalet lines

    I had just said no for the final time
    Although it's last month it's like yesterday
    I missed my time, I don't think I could stand
    To take the test, I'm feeling sick

    Fuck this, I've felt like this for a week
    I'd put a knife right into his eyes
    My friend can't see
    She asks me why I don't

    Tell the law
    Oh what's the fucking point at all
    He raped me in the chalet lines
    It was a party, it was going fine

    With the boys from the amusement park
    A few were idiots, they were a really good laugh
    They had the shows on till way after dark
    I hope she'll give me a place

    Full of woe and further to go
    She caught the bus
    "Oh I'll go anywhere"
    She caught the bus
    Her face was just a smear on the pane Writer/s: CAMPBE, COLBURN, COOKE, GEDDES, JACKSON, MARTIN, MURDOCH
