Banal - Bill Nelson

Every sound I hear

Seems to sound the same

Every face I see

Seems the same to me

Banal …

Every book I’ve read

Says the same old thing

Everything I’ve said

Has the same old ring

Banal …

I know you, You know me

Talk about it

Constantly …

Sky of blue, sea of green

Only fools harbour dreams …

Everyone I meet

Hands me the same old line

Buildings on the street

Display familiar signs

Programmes on T. V

Employ the same device

Their warm humanity

Just leaves me cold as ice …

Banal …
