Rat Trap Lyrics

There was a lot of rocking 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

The pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action

And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light

And said "ton;ight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"

Billy don't like it living here in this town

He says traps have been sprung long before he was born

He says "hop;e bites the dust behind all the closed doors

And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores

There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks"

It's a rat trap, Billy, but you're already caught

And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough

You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough

Anyway it's Saturday night, time to see what's going down

Put on a bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town

It's only eight o'clock, but you're already bored

You don't know what it is, but there's got to be more

You'd better find a way out, hey, kick down that door

It's a rat trap, and you've been caught

In this town Billy says "eve;rybody's trying to tell you what to do"

In this town Billy says "eve;rybody says you gotta follow rules"Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap - http://motolyrics.com/boomtown-rats/rat-trap-lyrics.html

You walk up to the traffic lights

You switch from your left to your right

You push in that button, and that button comes alight

And it's

"Wal;k, don't walk, walk, don't walk

Talk, don't talk, talk, don't talk

Walk, don't walk, walk, don't walk

Talk, don't talk, talk, don't talk"

Hey, Billy, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Billy, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Billy, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Hey, Billy take a walk with me

Well, little Judy's trying to watch "Top; of the Pops"

But mum and dad are fighting, don't they ever stop

She takes off her coat and walks down to the street

It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat

Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p

Hey, is that any way for a young girl to be

"I;'m gonna get out of school, work in some factory

Work all the hours God gave me, get myself a little easy money"

Now, now, now, na na

Her mind's made up
