Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Getting away with every task
Looking back on a life lived secretly
Years roll by, bodies pile up
Telling stories, but not the real saga
Hiding darkness behind this mask
Pillar of community (Yeah)
Can you honestly say (What?)
Who would suspect? The doting grandpa
Never wanted someone gone? (Nah)
When someone's done you wrong (Wrong)
Who would suspect? The grieving friend
Church volunteer, reputation heaven-sent
Lifetime of secrets, hidden so well
Fleeting thought on a bad day (Day)
Dark secrets, can't you see? (See?)
Found him first, tears in my eyes
Tried to stop it, but a second too late
Blood on my hands, perfect alibi
Truth behind smiles, no one can tell
Picture of innocence, yeah, that's how I dealt
My legacy when I'm dead and gone
Teenage years, crush had a different beau
Who would suspect? I set the pace
Family tradition, hope they'll carry on
First on scene, shock on my face
Now I'm Old James, grandkids on my knee
Wife and kids, living free (Free)
Accidents happen, that's just my luck
Tripped and fell, pen through the eye
Got the girl too, but that had to end
Headmaster's cane, but fate got bloody
Who would suspect me? (Who?)
Bike accident, tragic, but put on a show
Workshop drama, boss caught in the lathe
Angel face, scraped knees, first to yell for help
Car exploded, drew quite a crowd
Who would suspect? Upstanding citizen
Little Jimmy, eight years old, called to the study
Who would suspect? Just a little guy
Neighbour's kid, music too loud
