Golden Stars - Peter and the Wolf

He was a gangster boy

In his own back yard

Always ran the rings

Running temporary staff

Meant to point the blame

From his wicked tips

Everyone lived in fear with their sealed lips

Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars

Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars

Cant take my golden stars

So he hatched his plan in the dead of night

What a way to break in, not a soul in sight

As the long bells rang, sirens ringing true

Had a lucky escape from the boys in blue

Cant take his golden stars, cant take his golden stars

Cant take his golden stars, cant take his golden stars

Although he tried to get away

(can't take his golden stars)

The tests had matched his DNA

(can't take his golden stars)

Head office sent him to the roof

(can't take his golden stars)

No chance to falcify the truth

Every waking hour, hiding from my bed

With the ankle chains fastened to my legs

When the duty calls, sleeping makes no sense

Under scrutiny forced to give evidence

Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars

Cant take my golden stars, cant take my golden stars

Although I testified the truth

(can't take his golden stars)

Cold stares were cast across the room

(can't take his golden stars)

Three years in jail ordered the judge

(can't take his golden stars)

How could he live without a grudge

Time past I feared of his revenge

No olive branch to make ammends

Three bountys rested on my head

Then I’d be surely left for dead

Although I tried to get away

Held down not smothering my face

Steel toe caps bust into my ribs

No chance for me to get my grip
