ROD STEWART - The Killing Of Georgie lyrics
rate me(rod stewart)<br><br>In these days of changing ways<br>So called liberated days<br>A story comes to mind of a friend of mine<br><br>Georgie boy was gay I guess<br>Nothin' more or nothin' less<br>The kindest guy I ever knew<br><br>His mother's tears fell in vain<br>The afternoon george tried to explain<br>That he needed love like all the rest<br><br>Pa said there must be a mistake<br>How can my son not be straight<br>After all I've said and done for him<br><br>Leavin' home on a greyhound bus<br>Cast out by the ones he loves<br>A victim of these gay days it seems<br><br>Georgie went to new york town<br>Where he quickly settled down<br>And soon became the toast of the great white way<br><br>Accepted by manhattan's elite<br>In all the places that were chic<br>No party was complete without george<br><br>Along the boulevards he'd cruise<br>And all the old queens blew a fuse<br>Everybody loved georgie boy<br><br>The last time I saw george alive<br>Was in the summer of seventy-five<br>He said he was in love I said I'm pleased<br><br>George attended the opening night<br>Of another broadway hype<br>But split before the final curtain fell<br><br>Deciding to take a short cut home<br>Arm in arm they meant no wrong<br>A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue<br><br>Out of a darkened side street came<br>A new jersey gang with just one aim<br>To roll some innocent passer-by<br>There ensued a fearful fight<br>Screams rang out in the night<br>Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone<br><br>A leather kid, a switchblade knife<br>He did not intend to take his life<br>He just pushed his luck a little too far that night<br><br>The sight of blood dispersed the gang<br>A crowd gathered, the police came<br>An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third<br><br>Georgie's life ended there<br>But I ask who really cares<br>George once said to me and I quote<br><br>He said 'never wait or hesitate<br>Get in kid, before it's too late<br>You may never get another chance<br>'cos youth a mask but it don't last<br>Live it long and live it fast'<br>Georgie was a friend of mine<br><br>Oh georgie stay, don't go away<br>Georgie please stay you take our breath away<br>Oh georgie stay, don't go away<br>Georgie please stay you take our breath away<br>Oh georgie stay, don't go away<br>Georgie, georgie please stay you take our breath away<br>Oh georgie stay
