Well, I've got room in my wagon why don't you hop inside
We could cruise down Robert Street all night long
but I think I'll just rape you, and kill you instead
It would be so much easier if I drove
We could check it out, we could go and see
Oh won't you come and take a ride with me
I'll put your clothes in a nice, neat little pile
You're the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life
It's all over now, and with my knife.

Mould's sound is incredible like electrified molasses coming out the speakers.
A very haunting song told from the perspective of a psychopathic killer. Reminds me a bit of the Dead Kennedy's song "The Prey." PS the link in elwyn5150's post no longer works.
