[Jannet V]

De haardos was ooit kloppend, het lichaam helemaal niet meer maar het gevoel van dit nummer kan ik schreeuwen van de daken.

Stewart schreef het lied naar aanleiding van de dood van een homoseksuele vriend “Georgie”. De zanger vertelt over het bittere leven. Allereerst bij het uit de kast komen, waarbij hij door zijn vader wordt verbannen. Vervolgens trekt Georgie naar New York City en wordt daar populair. Als zanger en Georgie elkaar ontmoeten in 1975 is Georgie verliefd en gelukkig. Een lang leven is hem niet gegund, hij wordt tijdens een wandeling huiswaarts vermoord door een gang uit New Jersey.

in these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine

Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew

His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest

Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him

Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems

Georgie went to New York town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the toast of the great white way

Accepted by Manhattan's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George

Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy

The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of seventy-five
he said he was in love I said I'm pleased

George attended the opening night
of another Broadway hype
but split before the final curtain fell

Deciding to take a short cut home
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue

Out of a darkened side street came
a New Jersey gang with just one aim
to roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third

Georgie's life ended there
but I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote

He said "Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a friend of mine

En dit was weer de zondag, een luisterliedje misschien nog bekend bij de oudere onder ons;


Een song en film die je mogelijk nog kunt herinneren;

Even terug in de tijd, blijft ook nu nog een schitterend nummer.

Down in some lone valley
In a sad lonesome place
Where the wild birds do all
Their notes to increase

Farewell pretty Saro
I bid you Adieu
But I dream of pretty Saro
Wherever I go
