Rat Trap - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]
There was a lot of rocking going on that night[00:00:32]
Cruising time for the young bright lights[00:00:37]
Just down past the gasworks[00:00:40]
By the meat factory door[00:00:41]
The five lamp boys were coming on strong[00:00:43]
The Saturday night city beat had already started and the[00:00:46]
The pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action[00:00:50]
And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light[00:00:54]
And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight[00:00:57]
Billy don't like it living here in this town[00:01:04]
He says traps have been sprung long before he was born[00:01:07]
He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors[00:01:10]
And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores[00:01:14]
There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks[00:01:18]
It's a rat trap Billy[00:01:21]
But you're already caught[00:01:23]
And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough[00:01:24]
You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough[00:01:28]
Anyway it's Saturday night[00:01:31]
Time to see what's going down[00:01:33]
Put on a bright suit Billy[00:01:34]
Head for the right side of town[00:01:36]
It's only eight o'clock[00:01:38]
But you're already bored[00:01:40]
You don't know what it is[00:01:41]
But there's got to be more[00:01:43]
You'd better find a way out[00:01:45]
Hey kick down that door[00:01:47]
It's a rat trap and you've been caught[00:01:48]
In this town Billy says everybody's trying to tell you what to do[00:01:59]
In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules[00:02:06]
You walk up to the traffic lights[00:02:12]
You switch from your left to your right[00:02:14]
You push in that button[00:02:16]
And that button comes alight[00:02:17]
And it's[00:02:19]
Walk don't walk[00:02:20]
Walk don't walk[00:02:21]
Talk don't talk[00:02:23]
Talk don't talk[00:02:24]
Walk don't walk[00:02:26]
Walk don't walk[00:02:28]
Talk don't talk[00:02:29]
Talk don't talk[00:02:31]
Hey Billy take a walk[00:02:32]
Take a walk[00:02:34]
Take a walk[00:02:35]
Billy take a walk[00:02:36]
Take a walk[00:02:37]
Take a walk[00:02:38]
Billy take a walk[00:02:39]
Take a walk[00:02:41]
Take a walk[00:02:42]
Hey Billy take a walk with me[00:02:42]
Well little Judy's trying to watch Top of the Pops[00:03:13]
But mum and dad are fighting[00:03:16]
Don't they ever stop[00:03:18]
She takes off her coat and walks down to the street[00:03:20]
It's cold on that road[00:03:23]
But it's got that home beat[00:03:25]
Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p[00:03:27]
Hey is that any way for a young girl to be[00:03:30]
I'm gonna get out of school[00:03:33]
Work in some factory[00:03:35]
Work all the hours God gave me[00:03:36]
Get myself a little easy money[00:03:39]
Now now now na na[00:03:41]
Her mind's made up[00:03:47]
She walks down the road[00:03:49]
Her hands in her pockets[00:03:51]
Coat buttoned against the cold[00:03:52]
She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe[00:03:54]
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says[00:03:57]
But then he mumbles in his coffee and he suddenly roars[00:04:00]
It's a rat trap Judy and we've been caught[00:04:04]
