Rat Trap - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]
There was a lot of rockn' going on that night[00:00:48]
Cruising time for the young bright lights[00:00:51]
Just down past the gasworks[00:00:54]
By the meat factory door[00:00:55]
The five lamp boys were coming on strong[00:00:57]
The Saturday night city beat had already started and[00:01:00]
The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action[00:01:04]
And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light[00:01:06]
And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight[00:01:09]
Billy don't like it living here in this town[00:01:15]
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born[00:01:18]
He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors[00:01:21]
And puss and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores[00:01:24]
There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks[00:01:27]
It's a rat trap Billy[00:01:30]
But you're already caught[00:01:32]
But you can make it if you wanna or you need it bad enough[00:01:33]
You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough[00:01:37]
Anyway it's Saturday night[00:01:40]
Time to see what's going down[00:01:41]
Put on the bright suit Bill[00:01:42]
Head for the right side of town[00:01:44]
It's only eight o'clock[00:01:46]
But you're already bored[00:01:47]
You don't know what it is[00:01:48]
But there's got to be more[00:01:50]
You'd better find a way out[00:01:51]
Hey kick down the door[00:01:53]
It's a rat trap and you've been caught[00:01:54]
In this town Billy says[00:02:04]
Everybody's tryin' to tell you what to do[00:02:05]
In this town Billy says[00:02:11]
Everybody says you gotta follow rules[00:02:12]
You walk up to the traffic lights[00:02:16]
Switch from your left to right[00:02:18]
You push in that button[00:02:20]
And that button comes alight[00:02:21]
It tells you[00:02:22]
Walk don't walk[00:02:23]
Walk don't walk[00:02:24]
Talk don't talk[00:02:26]
Talk don't talk[00:02:27]
Walk don't walk[00:02:29]
Walk don't walk[00:02:30]
Talk don't talk[00:02:32]
Talk don't talk[00:02:33]
Hey Billy take a walk[00:02:35]
Take a walk[00:02:37]
Take a walk[00:02:37]
Billy take a walk[00:02:38]
Take a walk[00:02:40]
Take a walk[00:02:41]
Billy take a walk[00:02:42]
Take a walk[00:02:43]
Take a walk[00:02:44]
Hey Billy take a walk with me[00:02:45]
Do you want that misery[00:02:50]
Sweethearts run free[00:02:53]
Sweethearts run free[00:02:56]
Little Judy's trying to watch Top of the Pops[00:03:12]
But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop[00:03:15]
She takes off her coat and walks out to the street[00:03:18]
It's cold on that road[00:03:21]
But it's got that home beat[00:03:22]
Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p[00:03:24]
Hey is that any way for a young girl to be[00:03:27]
I'm gonna get out of school[00:03:30]
Work in a silk factory[00:03:32]
Work all the hours God gave me[00:03:33]
Get myself a little easy money[00:03:35]
Now now now[00:03:37]
Her mind's made up[00:03:42]
She walks down the road[00:03:44]
Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned 'gainst the cold[00:03:46]
She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe[00:03:49]
And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says[00:03:52]
But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars[00:03:55]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:03:58]
It's a rat trap[00:04:06]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:21]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:24]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:27]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:30]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:33]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:36]
It's a rat trap and we've been caught[00:04:39]
It's a rat trap[00:04:42]
