The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II) (乔治的杀戮(第一部分和第二部分)) - Rod Stewart (罗德·斯图尔特)[00:00:00]
Written by:Rod Stewart[00:00:01]
Oh yeah[00:00:10]
In these days of changing ways[00:00:20]
So called liberated days[00:00:22]
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[00:00:35]
His mother's tears fell in vain[00:00:40]
The afternoon george tried to explain[00:00:43]
That he needed love like all the rest[00:00:45]
Pa said there must be a mistake[00:00:50]
How can my son not be straight[00:00:53]
After all I've said and done for him[00:00:55]
Leavin' home on a greyhound bus[00:01:10]
Cast out by the ones he loves[00:01:12]
A victim of these gay days it seems[00:01:14]
Georgie went to New York town[00:01:29]
Where he quickly settled down[00:01:32]
And soon became the toast of the great white way[00:01:34]
Accepted by manhattan's elite[00:01:39]
In all the places that were chic[00:01:41]
No party was complete without george[00:01:44]
Along the boulevards he'd cruise[00:01:49]
And all the old queens blew a fuse[00:01:51]
Everybody loved georgie boy[00:01:53]
The last time I saw george alive[00:02:08]
Was in the summer of seventy-five[00:02:11]
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased[00:02:13]
George attended the opening night[00:02:18]
Of another broadway hype[00:02:21]
But split before the final curtain fell[00:02:23]
Deciding to take a short cut home[00:02:28]
Arm in arm they meant no wrong[00:02:30]
A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue[00:02:33]
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[00:02:52]
There ensued a fearful fight[00:02:57]
Screams rang out in the night[00:02:59]
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone[00:03:02]
A leather kid a switchblade knife[00:03:07]
He did not intend to take his life[00:03:09]
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[00:03:19]
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[00:03:39]
George once said to me and I quote[00:03:41]
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[00:03:51]
'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[00:04:01]
Oh georgie stay don't go away[00:04:51]
Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:05:05]
Oh georgie stay don't go away[00:05:20]
Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:05:34]
Oh georgie stay don't go away[00:05:49]
Georgie georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:06:03]
Oh georgie stay[00:06:18]
