Man From Gallifrey - !!!NEW!!!

I recently joined a Doctor Who themed group so naturally I had to do some Whovian parody songs. Starting with this twist on an Adam Ant classic.

Stand And Deliver Man From Gallifrey not by Adam & The Ants
I'm the time travelling man who you've heard people mention
I’m fighting crime through space and time and relative dimensions
The Daleks want your planet Earth they’ll soon get your attention (oh-oh)
But don’t you fret ‘cause they’ll soon find I’m here to ease the tension

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

I'm the time travelling man so sick of Cyberman schemes
Those metal brutes in silver suits who want you to join their team
I don’t know why they all bother when they know I’m close at hand (oh oh)
And soon they see they can’t beat me their armies I will disband

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

And even though I beat them all
I know they will return
Return

I’m the time travelling man - I will fight the Master
‘Cause whatever he is plotting it will be a disaster
I’m the time travelling man and with my screwdriver (oh oh)
I’ll defeat all enemies and prove earth’s a survivor

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

And even though I beat them all
I know they will return
Return

Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life

From The Mind of Merc - Gun Control

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about just how ridiculous the situation in America is regarding gun control.

As of 31st October 2019, 370 mass shootings had occurred in America in 2019. In these shootings, 1,466 people were injured and 441 died, for a total of 1,907 victims.

When there was a mass shooting in Australia in 1996 in Port Arthur, guns were banned - the no. of mass shootings in Australia in 2019? 3
When there was a mass shooting in the UK in 1996 in Dunblane, guns were banned - the no. of mass shootings in the UK in 2019? 0.
And yet, apparently gun control isn't the answer. (The answer to curtailing the bank accounts of gun manufacturers maybe.)

You wouldn't have thought this was a difficult decision, would you?

And for those who 'stand by the 2nd amendment: https://i.4pcdn.org/pol/1522210598579.png
