Rat Trap - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Geldof[00:00:16]
There was a lot of rockn' going on that night[00:00:32]
Cruising time for the young bright lights[00:00:37]
Just down past the gasworks by the meat factory door[00:00:40]
The five lamp boys were coming on strong[00:00:43]
The Saturday night city beat had already started and[00:00:47]
The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action[00:00:51]
And young Billy watched it all 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[00:01:05]
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born[00:01:07]
He says hope bites the dust behind[00:01:11]
All the closed doors[00:01:13]
And puss and grime ooze from it's scab crusted sores[00:01:15]
There's screaming and crying[00:01:18]
In the high rise blocks[00:01:20]
It's a rat trap Billy but you're already caught[00:01:21]
But you can make it if you wanna[00:01:25]
Or you need it bad enough[00:01:26]
You're young and good looking[00:01:28]
And you're acting kind of tough[00:01:30]
Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down[00:01:32]
Put on the bright suit Billy head[00:01:35]
For the right side of town[00:01:37]
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[00:01:49]
And you've been caught[00:01:52]
In this town Billy says[00:01:59]
Everybody's tryin' to tell you what to do[00:02:01]
In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules[00:02:06]
You walk up to the traffic lights[00:02:12]
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[00:02:19]
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[00:02:40]
Take a walk[00:02:41]
Take a walk[00:02:42]
Hey Billy[00:02:42]
Take a walk with me[00:02:45]
Do you want that misery[00:02:48]
Sweethearts run free[00:02:52]
Little Judy's trying to watch[00:03:14]
Top of the Pops[00:03:15]
But mum and dad are fighting[00:03:17]
Don't they ever stop[00:03:18]
She takes off her coat and[00:03:20]
Walks out to the street[00:03:22]
It's cold on that road but it's got[00:03:24]
That home beat[00:03:26]
Deep down in her pockets 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 work in a silk factory[00:03:34]
Work all the hours[00:03:37]
God gave me get myself a little easy money[00:03:38]
Now now now now now now now[00:03:42]
Her mind's made up she walks down the road[00:03:48]
Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned 'gainst the cold[00:03:51]
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[00:04:01]
It's a rat trap Judy[00:04:04]
And we've been caught[00:04:07]
Rat trap[00:04:28]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:30]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:33]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:36]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:40]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:43]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:46]
Judy caught in a rat trap[00:04:50]
