The Killing Of Georgie (Early Version) - Rod Stewart (罗德·斯图尔特)[00:00:00]

N these days of changing ways[00:00:14]

So called liberated days[00:00:16]

A story comes to mind of a friend of mine[00:00:18]

Georgie boy was gay I guess[00:00:24]

Nothin' more or nothin' less[00:00:27]

The kindest guy I ever knew[00:00:29]

His mother's tears fell in vain[00:00:34]

The afternoon George tried to explain[00:00:36]

That he needed love like all the rest[00:00:39]

Pa said there must be a mistake[00:00:44]

How can my son not be straight[00:00:46]

After all I've said and done for him[00:00:49]

Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus[00:01:04]

Cast out by the ones he loves[00:01:06]

A victim of these gay days it seems[00:01:09]

Georgie went to New York town[00:01:24]

Where he quickly settled down[00:01:26]

And soon became the toast of the great white way[00:01:28]

Accepted by Manhattan's elite[00:01:33]

In all the places that were chic[00:01:36]

No party was complete without George[00:01:38]

Along the boulevards he'd cruise[00:01:43]

And all the old queens blew a fuse[00:01:46]

Everybody loved Georgie boy[00:01:48]

The last time I saw George alive[00:02:03]

Was in the summer of seventy-five[00:02:05]

He said he was in love I said I'm pleased[00:02:08]

George attended the opening night[00:02:13]

Of another Broadway hype[00:02:15]

But split before the final curtain fell[00:02:18]

Deciding to take a short cut home[00:02:23]

Arm in arm they meant no wrong[00:02:25]

A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue[00:02:28]

Out of a darkened side street came[00:02:43]

A New Jersey gang with just one aim[00:02:45]

To roll some innocent passer-by[00:02:48]

There ensued a fearful fight[00:02:53]

Screams rang out in the night[00:02:55]

Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone[00:02:57]

A leather kid a switchblade knife[00:03:02]

He did not intend to take his life[00:03:05]

He just pushed his luck a little too far that night[00:03:07]

The sight of blood dispersed the gang[00:03:12]

A crowd gathered the police came[00:03:15]

An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third[00:03:17]

Georgie's life ended there[00:03:32]

But I ask who really cares[00:03:35]

George once said to me and I quote[00:03:37]

He said 'Never wait or hesitate[00:03:41]

Get in kid before it's too late[00:03:44]

You may never get another chance[00:03:47]

'Cos youth a mask but it don't last[00:03:52]

Live it long and live it fast'[00:03:54]

Georgie was a friend of mine[00:03:57]
