In the Long Grass was the sixth studio album by The Boomtown Rats, released in 1984 in the UK and 1985 in the US.[1] It was the band's last studio material for well over three decades until 2020's Citizens of Boomtown.

The Boomtown Rats' least commercially favourable effort, it failed to appear altogether in the UK Albums Chart, but did reach No. 188 in the US Billboard 200.[3]
