Time Travel Got a Hook in Me

lyrics by: Carl Halling
Written on Jul 25, 2020 

Time travel, baby,
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,
Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,

In disguise as a young man in the city, 
But the bright young life
No longer belongs to me,
I ain’t no London dude,
I'm just a carbon copy,
Doing some travelling,

Time travel, baby
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,
Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,

Seeing places that I knew in ’77,
When I was young
And in love with London town,
Please don’t ask me
Where those fleeting years have flown to,
They’ve just gone travelling,

Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,
Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,

In disguise as a young man in the city, 
But the bright young life
No longer belongs to me,
I’m a visitor
From a distant generation
Doing some travelling,

Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me,
Time travel, baby, 
Set me free,
Time travel got a hook in me.
