Tracklist & Lyrics

  • Out That Door
    (Dave Faulkner)
    Your kiss can leave me cold.
    I miss the fire that our hearts used to hold.
    Oh-oh, there’s no danger anymore,
    Oh-oh, you’re not a stranger anymore
    And I’m out that door.      (Out that door) 
    I’m out that door                (If you call)
    But I’m not sure
    When we decided not to care for each other anymore.
    By rights we should be friends.
    My pride was hurt but is that so hard to mend?
    Oh-oh, I’ve been trying not to ‘phone,
    Oh-oh, I’ve gotta know if you’re alone
    And I’m out that door              (Out that door) 
    If you’ll just call                         (If you call) 
    And day or night                       (Night and day) 
    Anytime at all                            (If you call) 
    But should I wait?                     (Should I wait?) 
    We’re always breaking up, and making up
    so much better than before.
    Your touch is mine alone.
    So much to learn, so little time to know.
    We’re not strangers anymore.
    I’m out that door                        (Out that door)
    Into the light                               (In the light)
    We’ll face the world                   (Out that door)
    Just you and I                             (You and I)
    We’ll breathe the air                  (Out that door)
    That freedom brings                (Freedom brings)
    We’ll sing the songs                    (Out that door)
    Freedom sings                             (Freedom sings)
    I look in your eyes and it’s understood.
    I’m afraid no more.
    I look in your eyes and it’s understood.
    I look in your eyes and it’s understood.
    No more.
  • What’s My Scene?
    (Dave Faulkner)

    And another thing
    I’ve been wondering lately
    Oh, baby,
    Tell me where have you been?
    Now the stage is set
    Where’s my Juliet, baby?
    Is it maybe
    My midsummer night’s dream?
    What’s my scene?
    Tell me, what’s my scene?

    Like a talent scout
    I’m always checking out new blood
    Oh, I’d do good
    If you tell me your game.
    Playing Solitaire
    Doesn’t get me where you would
    And, honey, you could
    Play by any rules that you care to name.

    What’s my scene?
    Tell me, I gotta know.

    What’s my, what’s my,
    What’s my, what’s my scene?
    What’s my, what’s my,
    What’s my, what’s my scene?

    They say, yeah, they say
    Making love, you can make it pay.
    They say, yeah, they say,
    But we know there’s a better way
    Any day.

    And another thing
    I’ve been wondering lately
    Am I crazy
    To believe in ideals?
    Well, I’m a betting man
    But it’s getting damn lonely.
    Oh, honey, if only
    I was sure what I feel.

    What’s my scene?
    Tell me, I gotta know.

    What’s my, what’s my,
    What’s my, what’s my scene?
    What’s my, what’s my,
    What’s my, what’s my scene?

    I wanna know.
    I can see
    I’m caught, I’m caught in someone else’s scene.
    Oh, where oh, where oh, where can my scene be?

    What’s my…?

  • Good Times
    (Dave Faulkner)

    You told me goodbye and I believed you.
    Felt like I would die – I didn’t need to
    ‘Cos you came back to me
    And everything’s like it used to be.

    All the good times we had we’ll have again.
    All the good times we had we’ll have again.

    If your love is mine then it will stand up
    To the test of time, tt will stand up.
    It looked like we were through,
    But in our heart of hearts we knew

    The good times we had we’ll have again.
    All the good times we had we’ll have again.

    And again.
    Now I know you’ll always be my friend
    Til the end.
    That means more to me than anything.
    It’s everything.

    Who needs yesterday, that’s far behind us
    It is, and memories only may serve to remind us
    That what felt good before
    Today we’ll treasure so much more.

    All the good times we had we’ll have again.
    All the good times we had we’ll have again.

  • I Was The One
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Darling, this is goodbye.
    Kiss me, I don’t know why.
    You were always beautiful when you closed your eyes.
    Leave now, while we still can.
    Let’s not wait until it all gets out of hand.
    You’re looking for a criminal, well, I’m a guilty man.

    I was the one.
    I was the one.
    I was the one.

    We were wrong from the start
    Maybe we tried just a Iittle too hard.
    You don’t have to blame yourself,
    you always played your part.

    I was the one.
    I was the one.
    I was the one.

    I was.

    Darling, look at us now, look at us now!
    History won’t put us down, won’t put us down.
    Don’t let anybody say you should have worked it out.

    I was the one.
    I was the one.
    I was the one.

  • Hell For Leather
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Make something happen.
    If you don’t, I will.
    We might lose a lifetime looking for a thrill.
    Night is the jungle
    A forbidden place –
    In the neon forest people vanish
    Without trace.

    Midnight
    Stay tight together

    Greased up and ready,
    A well-oiled machine:
    You’re my motorcycle I’m your gasoline.
    Spark my ignition,
    You hold the key.
    Won’t you kick yourself in gear and
    Ride away with me?

    And I fell
    Like hell for leather.
    Can’t you
    Tell it’s forever

    Trapped in the city,
    You learn to save your skin
    (There) ain’t no human zoo could ever cage us in.
    Night is the jungle
    But don’t you lose your way,
    There’s hungry creatures out there eager
    For some easy prey.

    And I fell
    Like hell for leather
    You can tell that it’s forever.

    Forever.

    Won’t you ride away with me
    Hell for leather.

  • Where Nowhere Is
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Do you know where nowhere is?
    It’s where you are.
    Do you know what nothing means?
    Y-O-U.
    Do you know what no-one thinks?
    It’s all about you.
    And do you know what?
    Nobody cares!

    Well, you can’t see the stars
    In the daytime,
    And you can’t see the sun
    When it’s night,
    But you can’t even see yourself In the mirror
    And I Don’t see you at all.
    Not at all.

    Do you know where     (Nowhere)
    Do you know where     (Nowhere)
    Do you know where     (Nowhere)
    Nowhere is?

    You had everything
    That you ever wanted.
    Man, you had it made,
    Was what you had!
    You forgot the only thing
    You ever needed
    And you can’t hide, you can’t hide that from me!
    No, not from me.

    Do you know where    (Nowhere)
    Do you know where    (Nowhere)
    Do you know where    (Nowhere)
    Nowhere is?

  • Middle Of The Land
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Here I stand in the middle of the land,
    Take my hand in the middle of the land.

    You’ll see something that’s new in the sunshine,
    You’ll be the winter that’s turning to springtime.

    Here I stand in the middle of the land,
    Take my hand in the middle of the land.

    Someday someone will try to confuse you:
    They’ll say things you might want to hear and then they’ll “use” you.
    I thought we’d live and learn
    But some folks seem to yearn
    For values unsophisticated.
    Those days are dead and gone,
    I won’t wish them back upon
    A world that’s much more complicated.

    Here I stand in the middle of the land.
    Take my hand, I’m always glad to lend a hand.

    They’ll try to blind you with T.V. religion,
    Don’t buy their hand-me-down second opinions.
    Sometimes the biggest lies
    Are most easily disguised,
    Dressed up like The Road To Glory,
    Then somewhere down the line
    You’ll rub your eyes and find
    You’re on a path to your own purgatory.

    You’ll know something as old as the moonlight,
    You’ll throw superstition and fear away tonight.
    They’ll paint us black and white,
    They’ll paint us wrong and right,
    They’ll paint us all into a corner.
    They’ll try to cool us down
    But they could never fool us now,
    We’re steamed up hotter than a Swedish sauna!

    Here I stand in the middle of the land
    Take my, take my hand – your horizons will expand.
    Here I stand in the middle, middle of the land.
    Land, in the middle, middle of the land
    Land on me.

  • Come On
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Oh, come on,
    I’ve been hanging out,
    Had some nagging doubts,
    But that was until now.
    Oh, come on,
    You are all I want.
    All I want.
    How could I hold out for long?

    Oh, come on,
    Who cares what people say?
    ‘Cause we can sleep all day,
    Tonight won’t keep away.
    Let’s just play.
    Oh, come on,
    How can we be wrong ?
    We’re not wrong
    When we both feel so strong.
    We’re so strong, we’re so strong
    Come on.

    Come on,
    The last train’s almost gone.
    Really gone!
    Let’s enjoy the ride we’re on.
    So come on,
    We can take our time –
    We can take walk the line, after all.

    So come on,
    ‘Cause it’s you I love.
    When push comes to shove
    You’re more than enough.
    You’re more than enough.
    Come on.

  • Heart Of Darkness
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Blood flows just like water
    Changing into wine.
    Everything looks better in the black sunshine,
    In the black sunshine.

    Echoes drag my memory
    Back where they began
    But I just can’t be sorry – my tears turn into sand.
    All those tears turn into sand.

    I don’t care now
    For what might have been,
    The heart of darkness closes in on me.

  • My Caravan
    (Dave Faulkner)

    My caravan
    Is far from home.
    I seek a path to parts unknown.
    My caravan
    Hides from the sun,
    By moonlit night my journey’s done.

    Your smallest wish is my command.
    My caravan.

    Ships in the night,
    Ships of the sand,
    The camels in my caravan.
    May Allah smile
    Upon your land
    And safely guide my caravan.

    His smallest wish is our command.
    My caravan.

    I build my dreams on shifting sand,
    My caravan.

  • On My Street
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Won’t you visit my town?
    Ain’t too far, you just go eight miles underground
    And take The Diamond Mine straight to my street.
    Everybody you know
    Is dying to meet you (‘cos they all told me so!)
    And Tojo booked you HoJo’s bridal suite.

    Light a candle with a star,
    Turn around, and there you are.
    On my street you can drive no car.

    Anybody could see
    The Flying Doctor’s been barking up the wrong tree –
    Cecil B. De Mille lives on my street.
    C.Y. O’Connor’s feeling depressed
    And Gypsy Rose Lee is always under-dressed,
    While Liberace is playing with his feet

    Fly Sinatra to the moon
    You’ll be back by afternoon
    On my street you can call the tune

    You’re on my street.

  • Party Machine
    (Dave Faulkner)
    Well it’s Friday night and I just got paid 
    Nothing on tomorrow – Man, I got it made!
    We got an engine but we got no wheels
    Don’t need no petrol for our Gurumobile
    (‘cos) We ain’t going nowhere near the ground.
    We’re on a rocket ship to inner space
    Out into orbit moving in one place
    And going faster than the speed of sound.
    Move your feet to the rhythm of love,
    Cop it sweet – you’re not doing it tough.
    Dig my words, it’s a happening scene!
    Hitch a ride on the party machine.
    You know we’re gonna have a Real Cool Time
    Your wig will flip so high you’ll lose your mind!
    Let’s fIy a Supersonic to the sun.
    There’s people swinging on the chandelier.
    The pilot’s singing to the bombardier,
    Oo-wee! Capricornia, here we come! (Here we go!)
    Blow Your Cool while the night is still young.
    Make your move – now you’re having some fun.
    Catch my wave, won’t you tune in on me?
    Hitch a ride on the party machine.
    I say, Where have you been? Where have you been?
    (On the party machine, On the party machine)
    I say, What did you see? What did you see?
    (I saw everything, everything) 
    And more!
    I wanna go somewhere
    But anywhere
    Will do.
