Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap 1978 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 The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight" Billy dont like it living here in this town He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born He says "hope 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 But 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 the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town It's only 8 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 the door It's a rat trap and you've been caught In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do" In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules." You walk up to those traffic lights, Switch from your left to right You push in that button, and when that button comes alight It tells you "Walk don't walk, Talk don't talk .... + Informações

Geldof was born Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, to parents of Catholic extraction. He attended Blackrock College, near Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic nationalist ethos he disliked. After work as a slaughterman, road navvy and pea canner, he started as a music journalist in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for the weekly publication Georgia Straight. Upon returning to Ireland in 1975, he became the lead singer of the band The Boomtown Rats, a rock group closely linked with the punk movement.In 1978, The Boomtown Rats had their first No. 1 single in the UK with "Rat Trap", which was the first New Wave chart-topper in that country. In 1979, the group shot to international fame with their second UK No. 1, "I Don't Like Mondays".[2] This was equally successful, as well as controversial; Geldof wrote it in the aftermath of Brenda Ann Spencer's attempted massacre at an elementary school across the street from her house in San Diego, California, at the beginning of 1979.. + Informações

Boomtown Rats - Banana Republic 1980 (Instrumental) Banana republic Septic isle Screaming in the suffering sea It sounds like crying (crying, crying) Everywhere I go, oh yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests And I wonder do you wonder While you're sleeping with your whore That sharing beds with history Is like a-licking running sores Forty shades of green yeah Sixty shades of red Heroes going cheap these days Price; a bullet in the head Banana republic Septic isle Suffering in the screaming sea It sounds like crying (crying, crying) Everywhere I go, oh yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests Take your hand and lead you Up a garden path Let me stand aside here And watch you pass Striking up a soldier's song I know that tune It begs too many questions And answers to, Banana republic Septic isle Suffering in the screaming sea It sounds like crying (crying, crying) Everywhere I go, oh yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests The purple and the pinstripe Mutely shake their heads A silense shrieking volumes A violence worse than the condemn Stab you in the back yeah Laughing in your face Glad to see the place again It's a pitty nothing's changed Banana republic Septic isle Suffer in the screaming sea It sounds like crying (crying, crying) Everywhere I go, oh yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests Banana republic Septic isle Suffer in the screaming sea It sounds .... + Informações

[Video #9] from www.youtube.com the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos! My 9th video in a series I plan for some of my favorite songs from the past. "I Never Loved Eva Braun" is from The Boomtown Rats 1978 album, A Tonic For The Troops. It's a very funny song, although of course the subject matter is controversial and very unfunny. I thought the song would work well behind clips from Charlie Chaplin's great 1940 film, The Great Dictator. There are many classic scenes in this movie, but the globe scene is one of the best, so i incorporated this scene into the video. The militaristic nature of the song worked perfectly with the clip of the marching drummers. The rendering of this video was for some reason a serious challenge. The clips were mostly from very old original sources so they were not the smoothest to work with. Video edits not matching slide-timing exactly has been a source of frequent frustration when incorporating video into slideshows. [Lyrics] Are you really going out with Adolf? I never loved Eva Braun (oh no?) No, a thousand people say I did (oh yeah?) Yeah, she was just some girl who was on the make (Yes, we see) Boy she wanted to be so big. And in the end it got to be a drag, She's doing her exercises every day No matter what people say, I never loved Eva Braun. I never heard all the screams (oh no?) I never saw the blood and dirt and gore (oh yeah?) That wasn't part of the dream, (yes, we see) Of maps and generals .... + Informações

The Boomtown Rats were an Irish rock band that scored a series of UK hits between 1977 and 1980 and were led by vocalist Bob Geldof, who organized the Ethiopian relief efforts, Band Aid and Live Aid. All six members were originally from Dún Laoghaire, Ireland. The name "Boomtown Rats" comes from a gang in Woody Guthrie's autobiography, Bound for Glory. They became a notable band, but one whose accomplishments were overshadowed by the charity work of frontman Bob Geldof, a former journalist with the NME magazine.
