Wrecking Ball


from the ABC set Poetry & Song Lyrics

I won’t play this game,
it’s boring and the same
as all the other ones
you’ve brought to the table.
It would be nice for a change
if you didn’t act so strange
and let go of the past
if you’re at all able.

You’re a wrecking ball,
crashing through my walls
even after I’ve invited you in;

you just can’t help yourself.

I think you’ve lost the plot
to the only tale you’ve got,
I’ve heard it all before,
every single time you said it.
Look at it from a different view,
be inspired by something new
cause let’s be honest here,
you’re not getting any younger.

You’re a wrecking ball,
crashing through my walls
even after I’ve invited you in;

You just can’t help yourself

This can’t be good for your health
Why not take it easy
Let it go

Like this one, Dynamaso. Very much. The repetition works, excellently and adds to the almost compulsive driving beat you have so expertly crafted in the writing of this poem.

Enjoyed;-)

Hey Tina, thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated. I particularly enjoy playing this one too, so it might be the first I record.

Love the 'wrecking ball' image! I'd really love to hear a recording if you ever get round to it ;)
