Lyrics Golden Stars - Peter and the Wolf

Golden Stars

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
