Culture Club did “Time (Clock of the Heart)” back in the early 80s. I’ve confused them with the Bee Gees when I’ve got the music on as background noise. :shrug: Robin ---

Could that song have been: “Reflections Of My Life” by Marmalade? They were a Scottish band and the song was released in 1970. ---

I know this is a zombie, but if it wasn’t the Alan Parsons one I wonder if it was “You Win Again.” There’s a lyric that’s repeated a few times, “So little time, we do nothing but compete”. But I guess we will never know. I do love that song though. It was nice to see these guys again when I watched the video to confirm my memory.

Actually; I stumbled onto this site as I too was searching for an old song (late '60’s; early '70’s) that I always thought was by the Bee Gees. As this site wasn’t helping I went to the Billboard list of 100 top songs of 1970 and found it there. I even mistakenly thought that “Reflections Of My Life” was on the soundtrack in the Jack Wild/Mark Lester movie entitled ‘Melody’ (which had almost all Bee Gees songs) but it was not. Not wanting to let a fellow searcher of songs down; I signed-up for this site. ---
