Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wrecking Ball (Neil Young)
Subject: wrecking ball - request info
In her 1996 album "Wrecking Ball", and on track 4 "Wrecking Ball"
Emmylou Harris sings in the chorus,
"Meet me at the wrecking ball"
but there are no hints in the lyrics or the album notes as to what exactly is a "Wrecking Ball" in this context.
Surely she doesn't mean Meet me at the spherical weight on a chain ??
Mudcatters -- any suggestions for a puzzled Brit?
( Not too many wrong answers, please! )
Thanks.
