《Rat Trap》歌词

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

[00:00:32] There was a lot of rocking going on that night

[00:00:37] Cruising time for the young bright lights

[00:00:40] Just down past the gasworks

[00:00:41] By the meat factory door

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

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

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

[00:00:54] And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light

[00:00:57] And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight

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

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

[00:01:10] He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors

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

[00:01:18] There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks

[00:01:21] It's a rat trap Billy

[00:01:23] But you're already caught

[00:01:24] And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough

[00:01:28] You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough

[00:01:31] Anyway it's Saturday night

[00:01:33] Time to see what's going down

[00:01:34] Put on a bright suit Billy

[00:01:36] Head for the right side of town

[00:01:38] It's only eight o'clock

[00:01:40] But you're already bored

[00:01:41] You don't know what it is

[00:01:43] But there's got to be more

[00:01:45] You'd better find a way out

[00:01:47] Hey kick down that door

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

[00:01:59] In this town Billy says everybody's trying to tell you what to do

[00:02:06] In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules

[00:02:12] You walk up to the traffic lights

[00:02:14] You switch from your left to your right

[00:02:16] You push in that button

[00:02:17] And that button comes alight

[00:02:19] And it's

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

[00:02:21] Walk don't walk

[00:02:23] Talk don't talk

[00:02:24] Talk don't talk

[00:02:26] Walk don't walk

[00:02:28] Walk don't walk

[00:02:29] Talk don't talk

[00:02:31] Talk don't talk

[00:02:32] Hey Billy take a walk

[00:02:34] Take a walk

[00:02:35] Take a walk

[00:02:36] Billy take a walk

[00:02:37] Take a walk

[00:02:38] Take a walk

[00:02:39] Billy take a walk

[00:02:41] Take a walk

[00:02:42] Take a walk

[00:02:42] Hey Billy take a walk with me

[00:03:13] Well little Judy's trying to watch Top of the Pops

[00:03:16] But mum and dad are fighting

[00:03:18] Don't they ever stop

[00:03:20] She takes off her coat and walks down to the street

[00:03:23] It's cold on that road

[00:03:25] But it's got that home beat

[00:03:27] Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p

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

[00:03:33] I'm gonna get out of school

[00:03:35] Work in some factory

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

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

[00:03:41] Now now now na na

[00:03:47] Her mind's made up

[00:03:49] She walks down the road

[00:03:51] Her hands in her pockets

[00:03:52] Coat buttoned against the cold

[00:03:54] She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe

[00:03:57] And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says

[00:04:00] But then he mumbles in his coffee and he suddenly roars

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