Electric Light Orchestra - Caught In A Trap Lyrics






Sometimes it's better to get out while you know it
Some people never learn they keep on falling
You can never get out if you keep on stalling

Then you get

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Sometimes you got to know where to run for cover
Sometimes your better out 'till the heat is over

Ah you get
Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Don't know how it happened but then it's too late
Then you gotta move on the times, you can't wait

Cus' you got
Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap caught in dead end
Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
Then you get, caught in a trap caught in dead end
Nowhere to turn but it can't go on

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

Caught in a trap

  1. S.... P....

    First single I ever got. As a kid I was given this on vinyl, this being the B Side, with Calling America being the S side. I love this song, it's my favourite ELO song

  2. D.... t....

    Sometimes you get caught in a trap and you don't know it
    Sometimes it's better to get out before you blow it
    Some people never learn they keep on falling
    You can never get out if you keep on stalling

    Then you get caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
    Then you get caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Nowhere to turn, but it can't go on

    Caught in a trap

    Sometimes you got to know where to run for cover
    Sometimes you're better out 'till the heat is over

    Or you get caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
    Then you get caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Nowhere to turn, but it can't go on

    Caught in a trap

    Don't know how it happens, but then it's too late
    Then you gotta move on the times you contemplate

    'Cause you got caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
    Then you got caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Nowhere to turn, but it can't go on


    Caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Caught in a trap with nowhere to run
    Caught in a trap, caught in a dead end
    Nowhere to turn, but it can't go on

    Caught in a trap
    Caught in a trap
    Caught in a trap
    Caught in a trap...

  3. L.... M....

    I love ELO!!!!!!😁 The Brits can't be beat!!!!

  4. j.... g....

    Music like "In for the kill".The same.

  5. K.... L....

    Great !

  6. M.... L....

    takes me back

  7. J.... T....

    maybe. Jeff Lynne has done all By himself. All the Instruments are synths.but still pretty catcy song

  8. j.... j....

    idk why but this song sounds similar to the brony song beyond her garden by the living tombstone with how the instruments were played in the song like as if it's a 80's version of the song

    j.... j....

    fucking stop

  9. j.... d....

    If I'm ever trapped by aliens, all I need is ELO.

    j.... d....

    I hope to be abducted by the ELO spaceship😁

  10. N.... ....

    feels like my life lately has been just like im caught in a trap and i dont know it!

  11. G.... ....

    Man, the beat reminds me a lot of Ice Cap Zone from Sonic 3, which is hardly bad since that was penned by Michael Jackson's music team.

    G.... ....

    Remäinz me öff ´´möhRic€´´ ^^

    G.... ....

    GentlemanBones omg I thought the exact same thing!!

  12. T.... S....

    I like them both because they were Jeff's indictment of the record industry

  13. J.... D....

    Great Videos, by the way, thanx Whale :3

  14. F.... ....

    And Marble Zone. :3

    Yes. I did watch your videos. :3

  15. R.... R....

    Is there a CD with all the ELO'S B sides or unreleased tracks?

    R.... R....

    Well, there is Afterglow, with quite a few b sides, and the remastered CD editions of each album have b sides or extra songs/demos/takes included

  16. c.... ....

    I share your enthusiasm man... It's like I think Jeff originally wrote "Rock'n'Roll Is King" as "Motor Factory"! I'm sure I read somewhere that he composes the tune and writes the lyrics last, so I imagine he experiments quite a bit toward the end of production to see what fits where lyrically!

  17. V.... ....

    Too Techno. But Lynne is STILL THEee MAN! FueledByHamish, below, said that Lynne's music was so good it could take any lyrics. I assume he meant it had a certain rare flexibility about it. Agreed either way. FBHamish also menationed 'mash-ups'. With these things in mind, go check out E.L.O./Pink mash-up & this: 'Don't Bring Me Up the Wall'(it does not name the female artist. But I think she should get Lynne to write her melodies, back her vocals & produce. Like Lynne's, I like her voice, too).

  18. F.... ....

    @mbarsky Yeah. Proof of how good the music is, perhaps! So good, it can take any lyrics. :D Not listened to IftK properly yet, but I think I prefer the atmosphere and lyrics of this one.

    (I would make a mash-up of this with Ice Cap Zone if I had the required software/talent! Maybe one day. :D)

  19. b.... ....

    @TheWhale55 also listen to "who is it" by michael jackson. - another song that sounds a lot like ice cap zone

  20. m.... ....

    Thanks for the clarification...but they are pretty darn close, and the point is that the lyrics for "Caught in a Trap" and "In for the Kill" could be used interchangably on either track, something which I've never heard with any other song.

  21. F.... ....

    @mbarsky Not 100% identical; it’s a different recording in a different key with slightly different instrumentation.

    F.... ....

    Higher pitch, it sounds like. LOL!

  22. k.... ....

    Never heard this one =) JEFF LYNNE IS A GENIOUS

  23. d.... ....

    @codern yea it was the b side to calling america

  24. c.... ....

    was this a b side , i dont recall it on the lp i have>>

  25. m.... ....

    What is truly fascinaing is to hear the ELO song "In For The Kill" (bonus track on the CD rerelease on Balance of Power) where the music is 100% identical to this song but with enirely differet lyrics. Makes you see what Jeff means when he says that the music always comes first, and the lyrics come afterwards.

  26. e.... ....

    It sounds like a song that needs to be added to at the end of a movie like G.H.'s dream away in Time Bandits.

  27. b.... ....

    MAGDA TO KOCHANA CÓRECZKA !!!
