- The Boomtown Rats Rat Trap 歌詞
- The Boomtown Rats
- There was a lot of rockn going on that night
Cruising time for the young bright lights Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door The five lamp boys were coming on strong The Saturday night city beat had already started and The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light And said 'tonight, of all nights, theres gonna be a fight ' Billy dont like it living here in this town He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born He says 'hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors And puss and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores Theres screaming and crying in the high rise blocks' Its a rat trap, Billy, but youre already caught But you can make it if you wanna or you need it bad enough Youre young and good looking and youre acting kind of tough Anyway, its Saturday night, time to see whats going down Put on the bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town Its only 8 oclock, but youre already bored You dont know what it is, but theres got to be more Youd better find a way out, hey, kick down the door Its a rat trap and youve been caught In this town, Billy says, 'everybodys tryin to tell you what to do' In this town, Billy says, 'everybody says you gotta follow rules' You walk up to the traffic lights , Switch from your left to right You push in that button, and that button comes alight It tells you 'Walk, dont walk Talk, dont talk' Hey Billy take a walk...with me Do you want that misery Sweethearts run free Little Judys trying to watch 'Top of the Pops' But mum and dad are fighting dont they ever stop She takes off her coat and walks out to the street Its cold on that road, but its got that home beat Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p Hey, is that any way for a young girl to be 'Im gonna get out of school, work in a silk factory Work all the hours God gave me, get myself a little easy money now, now, now' Her minds made up, she walks down the road Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned gainst the cold She finally finds Billy down at the Italian cafe And when hes drunk its hard to understand what Billy says But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars 'Its a rat trap Judy, and weve been caught'
