My trust has been betrayed
You talk to me this way
I'm stuck in disarray
Oh, I
I'm stuck in disarray
My time machine is broken now the past can't be replayed
Oh, I, oh
I thought you were the one but
Your baggage weighs a ton
Now I can finally breathe
Without you next to me
Oh, I
Without you next to me
My time machine is broken now the past can't be replayed

When I get my time machine I am going back to the seventies to relive the great Stray concerts I enjoyed so much in those heady days.

The posters are a reminder of so many of the bands that I was lucky enough to see at the Winter gardens, Penzance, in the 70's. The big missed opportunity for me is Atomic Rooster. Stray were always magnificent, Saturday morning pictures a great album.

This takes me back to the Chalk Farm Roundhouse one Sunday afternoon a long time ago.Bought the first album on the strength of their live performance that day. Really enjoyed it

Shame there’s no live performances of Stray, the LP’s could never match them play live with the light show and the smoke, saw them at least 10 times in 1969/1970

V. catchy rock tune, deserved mega hit status, Quo got there on a much thinner gruel.. there's no justice.
