Not sure what your point is? Lyrics to both songs are clearly saying buzz off to her. Next post, Big Star - Thirteen?

If you don't leave, I won't be responsible for what happens!! Putting the blame onto the young girl because a man cannot control himself!!
She was asking for it, m'lud.

You see what you want to see I guess.
Go away little girl
Go away little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
I know that your lips are sweet
but our lips must never meet
I'm dating somebody else and I must be true
Oh, go away little girl (go away little girl)
Go away little girl (go away little girl)
It's hurting me more each minute that we delay
When you're near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So go away little girl
Before I beg you to stay

I can understand why an abused person may want to have the opportunity to confront their abuser.
But other than that how is it possible to prove either way?
Surely it will come down to her word against his.

yes.... I'm quite aware of the lyrics. My point was to both you and I. I don't interpret that as creepy, you do. It's open to interpretation, that's all. Edit - I find Bowie, for example, creepy as ****.

From 2 minutes 13. And this was regarded as perfectly fine in the 70s. I taped this track off Bob Harris or Peel

The times they are a changed. And good. But a Tardis is a difficult machine.
Well possibly John Peel more likely as he has a bit of history with that sort of thing but that hasn't stopped anyone still liking him it appears
You don’t find a grown man telling a girl to leave the room otherwise he is likely to rape her and it won’t be his fault, somewhat creepy?
“She simply wouldn’t leave me alone m’Lud. It’s hardly my fault”
Sure, there will be many different circumstances and my experience won't tell the full story by any means.
I just can't see it being an 'easy' process, let alone very easy (sociopaths might enjoy it I guess), even if a person is lying.
You don't just drop a name into a sex crime complaints box, walk away and forget about it. Serious allegations = serious scrutiny, whether it's making statements to the police & lawyers or friends/family having their say - none of which is a comfortable, easy process even if you're lying (and is torturous when not).
Add a celebrity being accused to the mix and you've got the press and an internet full of people wading in with their opinions too.

You don't know his age nor her age. Nor does it say he's going to rape her. That's just how you are interpreting it. I'm not interpreting that way. Doesn't make either of us right or wrong. You are making a few leaps imho. edit- it's also cowritten by a woman.

There's an age limit where, even if the girl is willing, it is a compulsory rape charge because of her age. The man is considered to be the adult, and the lyrics even say he's taken.

Sure. If you interpret them that way.

It was written in 1962, when attitudes (as shown in previous posts) were different. Even judges threw out cases because they thought women contributed to their rape by wearing 'provocative clothes. As for rape within marriage!
On the other hand, it has been known for spurious claims to be made, where the accuser has then been found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
