Gallifrey - !!!NEW!!!

Very late with this month's posts but hopefully it's a case of better late than never.

As I spent to today at a Whovian event, both of today's/this month's contributions are influenced by that particular interest, starting with...

Galway Girl Gallifrey not by Ed Sheeran 
It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began 

I met her in London in the basement of a store
Where she was then being attacked by plastic mannequins galore
Though after we split up soon I was led right back to her
Where I met her boyfriend Mickey and, of course, her mother
Worked out that the Nestene was the whole reason why
And together we tracked it back to its base at the London Eye
Chat didn’t work but luckily for me
Rose helped me to escape then we both could flee

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yes I am the man from Gallifrey

You know we faced all sorts of villains not just the Nestene
Like Gelth, the Jagrafess, Reapers and not forgetting the Slitheen
Who could have guessed what kind of adventures lay in store
When I invited Rose behind my blue door
I never thought the Daleks would be alive today
But beat our first encounter thanks to human DNA
Oh, we thought we were doing well and were so very smart
But little did we know soon it would be time to part

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey

Soon we were up against the wall also out of time
The Daleks were after their newest chance to shine
Found that I couldn’t complete my grand design
But then Rose opened the TARDIS and she won the fight
(I) absorbed the light, took her back inside
But then every cell in my body it started to die
I reassured her that there was no need for fright
‘Cause I’m from Gallifrey and it’ll be alright

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey

Doctor Who Knew - !!!NEW!!!

I can't believe I haven't done this one before - it's so obvious. Hopefully it's so enjoyable too. This is from the point of view of Rose Tyler in the Doomsday episode

Who Knew Dr Who Knew not by P!nk
You took my hand
You told me run
We’ve travelled round
We’ve had some fun
Uh huh
That's right

I trusted you
And joined your flight
Thought everything
Would be all right
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
I’d be alone
Still wouldn’t have wanted out
From the unknown
I lost my hold
Now my heart it grows cold
And colder
Who knew

I think of how we went through space
And all those perils we did face
Oh no
No no
I wish I could travel again
Wish I could still see you, my friend
I'd give anything

If I’d known then what I do know now
Now that you’re gone
I wouldn’t have waited around
I took too long
I lost my hold
Now my heart it grows cold
And colder
Who knew
Yeah yeah

Keeps going round in my head
That moment when we kissed
That moment
That moment when we kissed
And I won't forget you, John Smith
I couldn’t

If someone said three years from now
I’d be alone
Still wouldn’t have wanted out
From the unknown
Every time
Was so fine
But we won’t meet again
Though timelords
Are smarter
Somehow that makes it harder
But I keep
On wishing
We’ll do one more mission
My doctor
Who knew

My doctor
My doctor
Who knew

My doctor
I miss you
My doctor
Who knew
Who knew
