The Killing Of George (Part I And II) (Live - Leicester England 12 5 76) - Rod Stewart[00:00:01]

In these days of changing ways[00:00:20]

So called liberated days[00:00:23]

A story comes to mind of a friend of mine[00:00:25]

Georgie boy was gay I guess[00:00:30]

Nothin' more or nothin' less[00:00:33]

The kindest guy I ever knew[00:00:36]

His mother's tears fell in vain[00:00:41]

The afternoon George tried to explain[00:00:43]

That he needed love like all the rest[00:00:46]

Pa said "There must be a mistake[00:00:51]

How can my son not be straight[00:00:54]

After all I've said and done for him"[00:00:56]

Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus[00:01:11]

Cast out by the ones he loves[00:01:14]

A victim of these gay days it seems[00:01:16]

Georgie went to New York town[00:01:31]

Where he quickly settled down[00:01:34]

And soon became the toast of the great white way[00:01:36]

Accepted by Manhattan's elite[00:01:41]

In all the places that were chic[00:01:44]

No party was complete without George[00:01:46]

Along the boulevards he'd cruise[00:01:51]

And all the old queens blew a fuse[00:01:54]

Everybody loved Georgie boy[00:01:56]

The last time I saw George alive[00:02:11]

Was in the summer of seventy-five[00:02:14]

He said he was in love I said I'm pleased[00:02:16]

George attended the opening night[00:02:22]

Of another Broadway hype[00:02:24]

But split before the final curtain fell[00:02:26]

Deciding to take a short cut home[00:02:31]

Arm in arm they meant no wrong[00:02:34]

A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue[00:02:37]

Out of a darkened side street came[00:02:51]

A New Jersey gang with just one aim[00:02:54]

To roll some innocent passer-by[00:02:57]

There ensued a fearful fight[00:03:01]

Screams rang out in the night[00:03:04]

Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone[00:03:06]

A leather kid a switchblade knife[00:03:11]

He did not intend to take his life[00:03:14]

He just pushed his luck a little too far that night[00:03:16]

The sight of blood dispersed the gang[00:03:22]

A crowd gathered the police came[00:03:24]

An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third[00:03:27]

Georgie's life ended there[00:03:42]

But I ask "Who really cares "[00:03:45]

George once said to me and I quote[00:03:47]

He said "Never wait or hesitate[00:03:52]

Get in kid before it's too late[00:03:55]

You may never get another chance"[00:03:58]

"'Cause youth's a mask but it don't last[00:04:01]

Live it long and live it fast"[00:04:05]

Georgie was a friend of mine[00:04:08]

Oh Georgie stay don't go away[00:05:01]

Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:05:15]

Don't go away[00:05:38]

Georgie Georgie please stay [00:05:45]

You take our breath away[00:05:54]
