New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song of the Rock Era: "No Time to Lose" by the Tarney/Spencer Band

Last week, we added "China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers to The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*, a song that not only is an obvious choice for the category but one that has become a classic.  Now we go to the other end of the spectrum, a great song by the Australian duo of Alan Tarney and Trevor Spencer that couldn't buy airtime.  It was released in 1979 and only made it to #84.  Then, to compound the mistake, radio missed the boat again when the song was re-released in 1981.  You would think that Music Directors would have seen the light but they failed again!  Instead, music lovers now flock to sites like Inside the Rock Era to hear songs that they should have heard all along, as we bring light to the Tarney Spencer Band.

Words and Music

Every day I walk in shadows
I know not what it is
Heading for

And as the evening lies dying
A gentle heart dies near me sighing
It's still the same
You'll never change

You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game
What a game

No time to lose
No time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose

Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose

There ain't no way to see forever
It's only day to day
I'm living for

Like a wheel you keep me turning
Put your love inside me burning
Questions plain
When you're lovin' me

You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game
What a game

No time to lose
No time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose

Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose

You can never understand
We can now be like water
Don't need more to find our way
Just get on where we came
It's a game

No time to lose
No time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose

Go with the flow
Never let go
No time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose

No time to lose
No time to lose
