They are just not the same. A poem of two heavy metal rock and roll songs that go astray |
1. I see no Rush to turn the page 2. Life will do that on its own 3. It’s not my style to make waves 4. I will not turn the page 5. My rocking years are over 6. Though they still linger on 7. As a younger man 8. Would picked up my guitar 9. Strum the pick and gun the cords 10. Gunning chords with heavy rhythm 11. Skate along the fretted board with heavy metal 12. But that was long ago, another time, another age 13. A rock and roller through and through 14. Heavy metal running through my veins 15. It was the only thing that kept me sane 16. But my Life, it slowly changed, 17. Was not me, but life that turned the page 18. Heavy metal no longer felt the same 19. I grew to love all music 20. It was my music that turned the page 21. I was an adolescent thirteen years of age 22. When Bob Segar turned the page 23. Then Rush a decade later used the name 24. But the lyrics they changed 25. The Rhythm, the beat, it was not the same 26. Metallica, pre millennial, They tried to do the same 27. Kept Segar’s lyric’s, rhythm and vocals 28. But it didn’t sound the same 29. Nor Rush or Metallica can compare 30. To Segar’s original Turn the page 31. Neither touch or move my spirit 32. in Segar’s unique melodic way 33. I cannot feel the loneliness, the pain 34. The isolation of stardom and fame 35. They are just not the same 36. I cannot feel the highway, the loneliness of fame 37. Nor see and hear the crowds 38. as I imagine from the stage 39. Metallica nor Rush can do the same 40. This rock and roller says Nay, I shall never turn the page |
