《The Killing of Georgie(Pt. I)(Early Version)》歌词

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

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

[00:00:16] So called liberated days

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:48] Everybody loved Georgie boy

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

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

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

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

[00:02:15] Of another Broadway hype

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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