Local Boy Chops Wood A Death In The Sixties lyrics

He got weights on his shoulders He got chains round his neck 'Fore he get very much older He be a nervous wreck He got plenty hangers on To keep him happy and high But deep down inside him You can hear him cry Local Boy chops wood - Headline reads Local Boy makes good - watch him bleed Local Boy chops wood - what went wrong Local Boy who made good wasn't too strong One riff of his guitar Gonna change the whole scene He's a rebel-romantic With a Death-wish dream Local Boy chops wood - Headline reads Local Boy makes good - watch him bleed Local Boy chops wood - what went wrong Local Boy who made good wasn't too strong He keep ice in his young veins To cool the fires in his head It'll take more than double brandy To dry the tears he shed Rock Star found dead - headline reads Rock Star found dead - pictures need Rock Star found dead - what went wrong Rock Star found dead - wasn't too strong
