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
