The Killing Of Georgie - Lo Mejor del Rock de Los 70[00:00:00]
In these days of changing ways[00:00:19]
So called liberated days[00:00:22]
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine[00:00:24]
Georgie boy was gay I guess[00:00:29]
Nothin' more or nothin' less[00:00:32]
The kindest guy I ever knew[00:00:34]
His mother's tears fell down in vain[00:00:39]
The afternoon George tried to explain[00:00:41]
That he needed love like all the rest[00:00:44]
Pa said there must be a mistake[00:00:49]
How can my son not be straight[00:00:51]
After all I've said and done for him[00:00:54]
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus[00:01:09]
Cast out by the ones he loves[00:01:11]
A victim of these gay days it seems[00:01:14]
Georgie went to New York town[00:01:28]
Where he quickly settled down[00:01:31]
And soon became the toast of the great white way[00:01:33]
Accepted by Manhattan's elite[00:01:38]
In all the places that were chic[00:01:40]
No party was complete without George[00:01:43]
Along the boulevards he'd cruise[00:01:48]
And all the old queens blew a fuse[00:01:50]
Everybody loved Georgie boy[00:01:52]
The last time I saw George alive[00:02:07]
Was in the summer of seventy-five[00:02:10]
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased[00:02:12]
George attended the opening night[00:02:17]
Of another Broadway hype[00:02:19]
But split before the final curtain fell[00:02:22]
Deciding to take a short cut home[00:02:27]
Arm in arm they meant no wrong[00:02:29]
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue[00:02:32]
Out of a darkened side street came[00:02:47]
A New Jersey gang with just one aim[00:02:49]
To roll some innocent passer-by[00:02:51]
There ensued a fearful fight[00:02:56]
Screams rang out in the night[00:02:59]
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone[00:03:01]
A leather kid a switchblade knife[00:03:06]
He did not intend to take his life[00:03:08]
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night[00:03:11]
The sight of blood dispersed the gang[00:03:16]
A crowd gathered the police came[00:03:18]
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third[00:03:21]
Georgie's life ended there[00:03:36]
But I ask who really cares[00:03:38]
George once said to me and I quote[00:03:40]
He said "Never wait or hesitate[00:03:45]
Get in kid before it's too late[00:03:48]
You may never get another chance[00:03:50]
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last[00:03:55]
Live it long and live it fast"[00:03:58]
Georgie was a friend of mine[00:04:00]
