《Rat Trap》歌词

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

[00:00:48] There was a lot of rockn' going on that night

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

[00:00:54] Just down past the gasworks

[00:00:55] By the meat factory door

[00:00:57] The five lamp boys were coming on strong

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

[00:01:04] The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action

[00:01:06] And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light

[00:01:09] And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight

[00:01:15] Billy don't like it living here in this town

[00:01:18] He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born

[00:01:21] He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors

[00:01:24] And puss and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores

[00:01:27] There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks

[00:01:30] It's a rat trap Billy

[00:01:32] But you're already caught

[00:01:33] But you can make it if you wanna 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

[00:01:41] Time to see what's going down

[00:01:42] Put on the bright suit Bill

[00:01:44] Head for the right side of town

[00:01:46] It's only eight o'clock

[00:01:47] But you're already bored

[00:01:48] You don't know what it is

[00:01:50] But there's got to be more

[00:01:51] You'd better find a way out

[00:01:53] Hey kick down the door

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

[00:02:04] In this town Billy says

[00:02:05] Everybody's tryin' to tell you what to do

[00:02:11] In this town Billy says

[00:02:12] Everybody says you gotta follow rules

[00:02:16] You walk up to the traffic lights

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

[00:02:20] You push in that button

[00:02:21] And that button comes alight

[00:02:22] It tells you

[00:02:23] Walk don't walk

[00:02:24] Walk don't walk

[00:02:26] Talk don't talk

[00:02:27] Talk don't talk

[00:02:29] Walk don't walk

[00:02:30] Walk don't walk

[00:02:32] Talk don't talk

[00:02:33] Talk don't talk

[00:02:35] Hey Billy take a walk

[00:02:37] 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] Billy take a walk

[00:02:43] Take a walk

[00:02:44] Take a walk

[00:02:45] Hey Billy take a walk with me

[00:02:50] Do you want that misery

[00:02:53] Sweethearts run free

[00:02:56] Sweethearts run free

[00:03:12] Little Judy's trying to watch Top of the Pops

[00:03:15] But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop

[00:03:18] She takes off her coat and walks out to the street

[00:03:21] It's cold on that road

[00:03:22] But it's got that home beat

[00:03:24] 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

[00:03:32] Work in a silk factory

[00:03:33] Work all the hours God gave me

[00:03:35] Get myself a little easy money

[00:03:37] Now now now

[00:03:42] Her mind's made up

[00:03:44] She walks down the road

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

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

[00:03:52] And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says

[00:03:55] But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars

[00:03:58] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:06] It's a rat trap

[00:04:21] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:24] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:27] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:30] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:33] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:36] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:39] It's a rat trap and we've been caught

[00:04:42] It's a rat trap
