Per Gessle releases Wrecking Ball and updates Party Crasher

Per decided to celebrate this year’s peegeebeeday by sharing a so far unreleased song of his and update the Party Crasher album on streaming services to include all tracks that belong to PC. Wrecking Ball became a killed darling when the album came out in 2008, but in the EPK we could see part of the lyrics of this song (11m 38s into the video). WB was written on 10th October 2007.

We could get used to the fact that no tracks remain in the can forever in PG’s laboratory and actually, this song we already had the chance to enjoy in another form. Thanks to the many branches of Mr. G’s project tree, part of the lyrics had been recycled by Dr. Robot for Mono Mind in Have Another Go, to which new music was written on 7th December 2013 in Halmstad.

The three additional songs in the Party Crasher family are Theme From “Roberta Right” (released on the Sing Along single previously), I’m Glad You Called and Silly Really (Right Into Your Bed Remix) (remix by Dick Mixon). These latter two were released as bonus tracks on the iTunes deluxe edition back in the days.

Listen to the album on Spotify, YouTube or any other streaming service.

Wrecking Ball

There’s a neverending line of funny people to watch
Here’s another cup of coffee that I put my trust in
Have another go you gotta go it’s time to move on

There’s hardly any reason to get oversentimental
Some days are really kinda overrated anyway yea
Have another go you gotta go you’d better move on

You hit my head like a wrecking ball
You hit the head you’re a wrecking ball
How could anything remain the same
When I can’t even recall my name?

Whatever happened to the ordinary record store?
I know so many songs referring to you anyway yea
If you want it I can pour them on the table and cry

There’s hardly any reason to get oversentimental
Some days are really kinda overrated anyway yea
Have another go you gotta go you’d better supply

You hit my head like a wrecking ball
You hit my bed you’re a wrecking ball
It would be easy to locate my grave
If I only could recall my name

Pretty much like a wrecking ball
Got quite a touch you’re a wrecking ball
I’ll be forgotten with the setting sun
I wish this conversation came undone

You hit my head like a wrecking ball
A bit like lead you’re a wrecking ball
It would be easy to locate my grave
If I only could recall my name

Pretty much like a wrecking ball
Got quite a touch you’re a wrecking ball
I will never ever be the one
I wish this conversation came undone
