Born in England's pleasant green, like a picture postcard To childhood spread fond maternal care From the day that he was born, relations came to fawn And compliment his golden hair
In boyhood sent to a boarding school to stay It's crumbling proud traditions forced to And his in this new world said, he looks more like a girl those blue eyes and pretty golden hair
Fades secluded manhood's search for truth His eyes now wet had turned to stare For he said I be bound
This day for London For I my fortune's waiting there So, an eager cutting knife He in a new life
Ohh, never known beforehand And the thought that he might In his and slip Never struck beneath his golden hair
Ahh, the days soon grew and boredom fast set in His job was thrown without a care For a man who softly said, earn twice as much instead those blue eyes and pretty golden hair
Well, London town possessed of many a nest And thus he fell scarce another care As so he slipped into prostitution's grip Foundationed by his pretty hair
Ahh, but the years quickly flew and his mind slowly From early freedom into despair As the money ceased to roll. a and lonely soul curses on his pretty golden hair
Ahh, the years their time, now, the living's hard to find And early friends vanished in the air And the gay parties's ease to public lavatories Have to grey his pretty golden hair
Ohh, his life was only used and his body abused By those who never think and care But his file said suicide, no, that wasn't why he died It was murder by his golden hair
