In August 2008, Alex Day searched the web for “Time Lord Rock” - a subsection of music he thought would exist to celebrate the TV show Doctor Who - but got no results. Shortening the term to ‘Trock’, he introduced the concept to his YouTube viewers, launching the music with a self-penned song called An Awful Lot Of Running (inspired by the words of Jenny at the end of the 2008 episode ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
BmF# It’s been such a long time since I met you back on Skaro G And I’m pretty sure that you know EF# That not much has changed since then BmF# It doesn’t matter how hard you try to remove me G I think you will agree E That if one of us dies, then the other will too F# I am locked in war with you
BmF# Exterminate, Regenerate G I thought you always knew our fate E To just keep fighting on and on F# While time keeps turning BmF# Regenerate, Exterminate G And even though we are the same E Why don’t you hop into your ship F# And leave me burning
Instrumental: DCadd9G x2
BmF# Even though, as men, we have our contrasts GE We’re of exactly the same class F# And our constant companion is death BmF# Look at you, fashioning people into weapons G How can you say that you’re better than me? EF# We both carry the fire, that is set to devour life
DCadd9 We both carry the fire, that has the power to end life GD But what I do with that flame is what separates our types Cadd9 If it takes till the end of reality to beat you GD Then ill be sure to meet you, at the exit of the world
Intro again: B? B?? DD7 x2
BmF# Exterminate, Regenerate G You know that it isn’t too late E To end what seems impossible F# And leave time turning BmF# Regenerate, Exterminate G And even though we aren’t the same E Why don’t you hop into my ship F#E And we can settle this F#E And we can settle this F#E And we can settle this, forever F#E Yeah we can travel time, together F#E We can settle this, forever
Chorus once more
End
