Rat trap (Live) - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]

There was an awful lot of rocking going on that night [00:00:48]

Cruising time for the young bright lights [00:00:51]

Just down past the gasworks [00:00:55]

By the meat factory door [00:00:56]

The five lamp boyswere coming on strong [00:00:57]

The Saturday night city beat had already started[00:01:00]

The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action[00:01:03]

And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light[00:01:07]

And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"[00:01:10]

He doesn't like it living here in this town[00:01:16]

He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born[00:01:19]

He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors[00:01:22]

And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores [00:01:25]

There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"[00:01:28]

It's a rat trap Billy and you're already caught[00:01:31]

But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough[00:01:34]

You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough[00:01:37]

Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down [00:01:40]

Put on the bright suit Billy head for the right side of town[00:01:42]

It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored[00:01:46]

You don't know what it is but there's got to be more[00:01:48]

You'd better find a way out hey kick down the door[00:01:51]

It's a rat trap and you've been caught[00:01:54]

In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do"[00:02:05]

In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules "[00:02:11]

Hey you walk up to those traffic lights [00:02:16]

Switch from your left to right[00:02:18]

You push in that button and when that button comes alight[00:02:20]

It tells you[00:02:22]

This is walk[00:02:25]

This is talk[00:02:26]

This is talk[00:02:27]

This is walk[00:02:29]

This is walk[00:02:30]

This is talk[00:02:32]

This is talk[00:02:34]

Take a walk take a walk take a walk[00:02:36]

Take a walk take a walk take a walk[00:02:39]

"Walk don't walk[00:02:43]

Talk don't talk"[00:02:44]

Hey Billy take a walk with me [00:02:46]

Little Judy's trying to watch "top of the pops"[00:03:13]

But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop [00:03:16]

She take down her coat and walks out on the street [00:03:19]

It's cold on that road but it's got that home beat [00:03:22]

Deep down in her pockets she finds[00:03:27]

Now is that any way for a young girl to be [00:03:30]

"I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory [00:03:32]

Work all the hours God gave me[00:03:34]

Get myself a little easy money"[00:03:36]

Now now now na na [00:03:37]

Her mind's made up she walks down the road [00:03:44]

Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned 'gainst the cold [00:03:46]

She finds Billy down at the Italion cafe[00:03:49]

And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says[00:03:51]

But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars [00:03:53]

"It's a rat trap and we've been caught "[00:03:56]
