First to guess the song from the snippet of the lyric gets to post another. (Courtesy of wasbit’s suggestion.)

“No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun”

Google as a last resort!

It’s Time, by Pink Floyd – off DSOM.:)

Next one :- “It’s so nice to be insane – No-one asks you to explain.”

Off you go:)

No idea about this one. I’ll have to Google later if no-one gets it.

Isn’t that Band on the Run? (Paul McCartney and Wings.) I don’t fully recognise the words, but they’re near enough to what I recall, and the meter is perfect.

What’s the earlier snippet, though?

Is it Mike and the Mechanics – Can you here me running?

That’s the one Robin – proper title is Silent Running.

Anybody have any thoughts on this one at all from before??

Next one :- “It’s so nice to be insane – No-one asks you to explain.”

Google gave me Robin’s answer – it’s not a band I know a lot about. I’ll leave that one for someone else.:)

Band on The Run, yes Jason. Older than you used to look!

Dylan — or if it’s not, the writer has stolen from Dylan — but I’m not sure of the song. The second line is a classic.

Yes it’s Dylan: Album is “Another Side of Bob Dylan”. Track is “My Back Pages.”

Check out the lyrics: https://tinyurl.com/ll8e57j I remember hearing this and other originals for the first time and wondering which planet the guy was from. Then I could not stop playing them.

This a bit at a tangent to the thread but still in the same ball park. It had me baffled when I was first asked it – Unchained Melody, Albatross and Bohemian Rhapsody were all Number 1’s but what do they have in common?

They were no. 1 twice, or the second time around?
