Boilermaker was an indie rock/emo band from Encinitas, CA from 1993 until 2002, comprised of Terrin Durfey (bass/vocals), Rich Sanderson (guitar), and Timothy James Semple (drums); Mike Eginton played second guitar on some of their later tours, but only recorded two songs with the band. They released a handful of 7" singles and comp tracks, three LPs (Watercourse, In Wallace's Shadow, and an untitled LP) on the Goldenrod Records label, and a compilation of songs from these then out-of-print records entitled Leucadia on Better Looking Records.
Lyrics:
stones don't throw themselves
so grab your slingshot
granny grab your slingshot
granny grab your slingshot
sitting there by the phone
trying to find a ride home
thinking to myself
seems no one will help
if my horse breaks a leg
she will kill it
shoot me with her slingshot
kill me with her slingshot
hey mr. handyman
can you give me a hand
i need some sympathy
granny's all fucked up now
she seems all broken down
she needs some sympathy
granny's slingshot has jammed
she needs another hand
to help aim it at me
stepped out on the porch with her
she found a stump on her crossword
broken hands across her lap
cigarette stain holes on her lap
drops fall from her hand
onto the porch below
cigarette stain holes on her robe
broken hands across her robe
