《Rat trap(Live)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:22] It tells you

[00:02:25] This is walk

[00:02:26] This is talk

[00:02:27] This is talk

[00:02:29] This is walk

[00:02:30] This is walk

[00:02:32] This is talk

[00:02:34] This is talk

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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