7. ‘The Boiler’ by THE SPECIAL AKA – RHODA SCOTT

We 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 boiler

8. ‘Town Called Malice’ by THE JAM

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, ’cause it’s the one we’ll never know
And quit running for the runaway bus ’cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you’ve never done
‘Cause time is short and life is cruel but it’s up to us to change
This town called malice
