Boomtown Rats', "Rat Trap"
Misheard Lyrics:
There was an awful lot of rocking going on that night,
Cruising time for the young black knights,
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door,
The fly blow boys were coming on strong
Cruising time for the young black knights,
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door,
The fly blow boys were coming on strong
Original Lyrics:
There was an awful 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
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

You can make it if you want to
If your knees are fat enough.
If your knees are fat enough.
Original Lyrics:
You can make it if you want to
If your needs are bad enough.
If your needs are bad enough.
