Eighteen men went into the house
|
And burned it to the ground
|
Two men came out from the house
|
Never went to town
|
Everyone knew who the carpenter was
|
Breaking everything
|
Nathaniel was a lucky one
|
He had to get his things
|
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
|
Sister Anne-Marie and a 12-year-old
|
They left the burning town
|
Rode for miles on a subway train
|
That's how the legend went down
|
And, yeah, now you've been fooled
|
And now you can see that
|
Nothing's gonna change
|
It's the witches who know
|
They only do what they want
|
And then like to have someone explain
|
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
|
Now you can move and now you can sing
|
Georgie Boy
|
Now it's over when you can't ascribe
|
You say now's the time for a different try
|
But you have to tell
|
Does running make that sound?
|
Twenty years on
|
It's a mission accomplished
|
And everyone's feeling great
|
He says, "No one's ever gonna trap me down
|
Or make me make mistakes."
|
So now what you do
|
And now what you say
|
Means nothing to the rest
|
And you make a rich bitch
|
And you know what you are
|
Yeah, you find yourself in a purple dress
|
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
|
And now you can move
|
And now you can sing
|
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
|
