Rat trap - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Geldof[00:00:00]

There was a lot of rockn' going on that night[00:00:03]

Cruising time for the young bright lights[00:00:35]

Just down past the gasworks by the meat factory door[00:00:39]

The five lamp boys were coming on strong[00:00:43]

The Saturday night city beat had already started and[00:00:46]

The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action[00:00:50]

And young Billy watched it all under[00:00:53]

The yellow street light[00:00:56]

And said "tonight of all nights [00:00:58]

There's gonna be a fight"[00:01:00]

Billy don't like it living here in this town[00:01:04]

He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born[00:01:07]

He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors[00:01:12]

And puss and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores[00:01:14]

There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"[00:01:15]

It's a rat trap Billy but you're already caught[00:01:21]

But you can make it if you wanna or you need it bad enough[00:01:24]

You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough[00:01:27]

Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down[00:01:31]

Put on the bright suit Billy head for the right side of town[00:01:34]

It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored[00:01:39]

You don't know what it is but there's got to be more[00:01:42]

You'd better find a way out hey kick down the door[00:01:45]

It's a rat trap and you've been caught[00:01:48]

In this town Billy says [00:01:52]

"everybody's tryin' to tell you what to do"[00:02:01]

In this town Billy says [00:02:03]

"everybody says you gotta follow rules"[00:02:07]

You walk up to the traffic lights [00:02:09]

Switch from your left to right[00:02:14]

You push in that button and that button comes alight[00:02:16]

It tells you[00:02:18]

"Walk don't walk[00:02:20]

Talk don't talk"[00:02:21]

Hey Billy take a walk with me[00:02:23]

Do you want that misery[00:02:44]

Sweethearts run free[00:02:50]

Little Judy's trying to watch "Top of the Pops"[00:02:53]

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

She takes off her coat and walks out to the street[00:03:19]

It's cold on that road but it's got that home beat[00:03:23]

Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p[00:03:26]

Hey is that any way for a young girl to be[00:03:29]

"I'm gonna get out of school work in a silk factory[00:03:33]

Work all the hours God gave me [00:03:36]

Get myself a little easy money[00:03:39]

Now now now"[00:03:40]

Her mind's made up she walks down the road[00:03:42]

Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned 'gainst the cold[00:03:50]

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 suddenly roars[00:04:00]

"It's a rat trap Judy and we've been caught"[00:04:03]
