《Rat Trap(Live In Stoke)》歌词

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

[00:00:00] Written by：Bob Geldof

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

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

[00:00:39] Just down past the gasworks 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

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

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

[00:00:56] The yellow street light

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:18] It tells you

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

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

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

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

[00:02:50] Sweethearts run free

[00:02:53] 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 takes off her coat and walks out to the street

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:40] Now now now"

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

[00:03:50] Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned 'gainst 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 suddenly roars

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