Rat Trap lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 &quottonight 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 &quothope 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 &quoteverybody s trying to tell you what to do" In this town Billy says &quoteverybody says you gotta follow rules" 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 &quotWalk, 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 &quotTop 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 &quotI 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 song lyrics
