Thumbs up if you like The Mariner's Revenge Song!

@whenwillifindone Okay, I've looked all over the internet for this "not unverifiable" reference to what you claim the band says about this song referring to a serial murderer/rapist and I can't find anything of the kind. Can you cite your source, please?

@whenwillifindone You intrepreted the song very wrong, if you listen very carefully to the first part, you will understand that when he says " wake you from your sleep", he doesn't mean rape you, he will wake you nwith his cry.

@mmmgreenday Yeah, sort of like what Curley's Wife wanted in "Of Mice and Men". she never really wanted to have relations, she just wanted someone to talk to and confide in

This has nothing to do with rape, but it is naughty. She's a lonely widow who happily welcomes a chimney sweep between her legs. The true message in this song is the lack of a 401K or overtime pay for chimney workers. Lighten up for hell's sake!
