Tracklist & Lyrics

  • Head In The Sand
    (Dave Faulkner/ Rick Grossman)

    Someone had to tell you,
    Might as well it be me.
    You’ve been fooling no-one,
    If you only could see.
    Do you understand ?
    You’ve got quite a problem,
    Lost your job you know why
    But you can’t admit,
    So full of it you might die.
    Do you understand ?

    Just keep your head in the sand.

    Teenage alcoholic
    Grew too old to be fun.
    Just another loser
    Ain’t no use to no-one.
    You can’t understand.
    Give yourself excuses,
    Just as boozers all do.
    Why invent a reason ?
    No-one sees it like you
    Do you understand?

    You’ve got your head in the sand
    (Have another. And another, and another …)

    Everything is hopeless,
    Drink to cope – it don’t help.
    What’s it take to make you
    Wide awake to yourself ?
    Your head’s in the – (buried deep below)
    Your head’s in the – (you don’t wanna know)
    Your head’s in the – (you’ve got feet of clay)
    Your head’s in the – (drink your tears away)

  • A Place In The Sun
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Hey, girl – it’s a new world, let’s have a little fun!
    Don’t stay hidden away, come and join everyone.
    Everyone.

    Outside l’m ready to ride, we can go anywhere.
    Don’t wait, procrastinate take a chance if you dare-
    I want to take you there.

    Find a place in the sun.

    You know you want to go – it’s no sacrifice.
    I want what you want, in fact I’ll even do it twice
    At half the price.

    Find a place in the sun.

    Didn’t you hear that the war has been won?
    Good people died to provide you a place in the sun.

    I’m here, what’s there to fear ? We’re not breaking any law.
    Someday I know you’ll say you wonder
    what you waited for
    What are you waiting for ?

    Find a place in the sun.

    Didn’t you know any wrong you have done
    Cannot deny you the right to a place in the sun ?

    Find a place in the sun.

    Hey, boy! Relax and enjoy –
    You might have a little fun.
    Don’t fight or get uptight
    When you could be in the sun
    With everyone.

    Find a place in the sun.

  • Castles In The Air
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Once I built a castle in the air,
    A home for you and I
    In a blue, blue sky.
    We’d leave behind the weight of worldly care.
    I thought we could fly,
    We only had to try.

    Ah, I had to learn fast,
    (For your own good)
    I had to learn fast.
    And when I knew at last,
    (You understood)
    I knew at last

    Hell and heaven can be one and the same
    (If you don’t know how
    You should know by now).
    Every pleasure always holds an equal amount of pain
    But it all works out,
    I have no doubt.

    Ah, we had to learn fast,
    (For our own good)
    We had to learn fast.
    And when we knew at last
    (It was understood)
    We knew at last

    Every kite has got to have a string for it to fly
    Up to who-knows-where?
    Castles in the air.
    So there are strings attached to you and I,
    Though they hold us tight
    We can take flight.

  • Something’s Coming
    (Dave Faulkner)

    There’s a feeling that I just can’t shake,
    A premonition it’s all about to break.
    I don’t know what to do
    To help it come on through.
    Send a message, sign it S.O.S.
    Hear me crying in the wilderness.
    I hope my signal’s clear,
    Just like Paul Revere.
    Something’s coming – it could mean life or death.

    People tell me to give Œtil it hurts
    And everybody gets their just desserts.
    All I ask of you
    Remember, it takes two
    It sure takes two.
    Watch your back, my friend, you’re gonna lose your shirt.
    You can trust me – I never kiss and tell.
    Better hurry before you break the spell.
    If it’s an uphill climb
    There’s no better time that you will find
    Than the present – starting with yourself.

    Something’s coming – start with yourself.

  • Miss Freelove ’69
    (Dave Faulkner)

    You can’t take me anywhere, I’ll strip down to my underwear
    If you give me half a chance.
    Hippy-freelove, outtasight! I’m gonna turn off every light
    And hold a private dance.
    It started out one afternoon, hot sake in my living room
    Among some special friends.
    Soon some others dropped around and we all started getting down, well,
    You know how these things end!

    Miss Freelove, Come back sometime-
    Miss Freelove of ’69.

    Torches flashing sweaty passion, each made love in their own fashion-
    We had quite a ball!
    Do the monkey, feeling funky, I’m just like any disco junkie
    And I don’t care at all.
    Maybe I’m not thinking straight, I only know that it feels great
    And I’m glad you do too.
    It could be just a passing fad but think about the fun we had
    The last time you decided to pass through.

    Miss Freelove, come back sometime
    Miss Freelove of ’69.

    And everything is gone and far away
    And everything is gone and that’s o.k.
    And everything is groovy, would you say?
    Would you say?

    Someone called the cops on us. They didn’t have the heart to bust
    The kinky scene they found.
    They checked their badges at the door and joined the action on the floor
    Where they laid their nightsticks down!
    Miss Freelove …….
    La-la-la-la love
    La-la-la-la love, Freelove!

  • 1000 Miles Away
    (Dave Faulkner)

    Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m.
    Been up before the sun and now I’m tired before I even begin.
    (Now you’re flying)
    I’ve got so much work in front of me.
    (Really flying)
    It stretches out far as the eye can see.
    I can see.

    Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep.
    And when the bar is open then you’ll often find me warming a seat.
    (Now you’re flying)
    I never find a place where I can stay.
    (Really flying)
    I’d rather be a thousand miles away.
    Thousand miles away.

    Working for yourself sometimes ain’t all that it’s cracked up to be:
    It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree.
    (Now you’re flying)
    I’m told I’m going places – who can say?
    (Really flying)
    I might arrive but I’ll be gone the very next day.
    I must be on my way.
    A thousand miles away.

    Promised to myself someday I’d take the time and try to make sense
    Out of all those opportunities I’ve lost from trying to sit on the fence.
    (Now you’re flying)
    Right now I’ve got no time for yesterday,
    (Really flying)
    Yesterday’s a thousand miles away.
    A thousand miles away.

    What was that that you were trying to say ?
    I guess I was a thousand miles away.

    Sing it again.

  • Desiree
    (Brad Shepherd)

    I felt the radiance of your rising
    Sunshine on my skin
    Oceans away from the rest of our lives
    And still we both fell in.

    I was alone – I found you
    So far from home – tell me
    What else could I do ?

    When you walked up to me
    My world turned itself all inside out
    You were like nobody else I’ve known
    Hey, what are you about ?

    Cold and alone – I was there
    Ooh, what you’ve done
    Do you know how much I care ?

    I thought someday, somewhere, somehow…
    But who am I fooling
    Desiree will never ever know … oh, no…

    We could have tried something new, girl
    But you lied, now I can’t believe it’s true
    You knew I’d never find you

    Maybe someday you’ll change your mind
    About what will ever be
    Make it a day when the sun will shine
    Again for you and me…
    ‘Cause I can’t shake you.

    Desiree…maybe some day…

  • I Don’t Mind
    (Dave Faulkner)

    I don’t mind the sweet taste of success,
    I don’t mind making do with less.
    Take things as they come –
    That’s my only rule of thumb.
    I don’t mind that stage you’re going through.
    If you must, then do what you must do.
    All I have is yours,
    I only want you to be sure

    I don’t mind (ooh)
    I don’t mind – no, not I.

    I don’t mind Jesus or His squad.
    I’m not afraid, I’ll face anybody’s god.
    Follow your own creed,
    If my freedom’s guaranteed

    I don’t mind – no, not I.
    I don’t mind, why should I ?

    Follow any creed,
    If my freedom’s guaranteed
    I don’t mind.

    I don’t mind when my dreams come true.
    And what about when they seldom do ?
    I don’t mind “True Love and Happiness”,
    Well, that’s fine but I’ll take second best.
    Take life as it comes
    That’s my only rule
    My rule of thumb.

  • Brainscan
    (Brad Shepherd / Dave Faulkner)
    (As sung by Dave Faulkner and Rob Younger)

    (Dave): I go to the beach to catch a little sun.
    You see me before I get a chance to run.
    You ask me,
    (Rob): Dave, where have you been ?
    How come I only get your ‘phone machine ?
    (Dave): The answer should be obvious to anyone.

    (Rob): I told you more times than I care to recall
    I’d get more reaction talking to a wall.
    (Dave): It’s no crime to be dumb
    Just don’t parade it for everyone
    And act like you’re such a goddamn know-it at
    You know-nothing-at-all.

    (Rob): Your friends call you “shit-for-brains”
    You’re full of shit, that might explain
    But I think it’s even less your head contains.

    (Rob) :I go to the beach to catch a little sun.
    (Dave): You see me before I get a chance to run
    (Rob): I only feel contempt for you,
    You and your room temperature I.Q.
    (Dave): Well, look at you – you’re just a big black hole of fun

    (Rob): You need a brainscan to convince me you’re not dead.
    (Dave): You need a brainscan and hope they learn to transplant a head.
    (Both): Brainscan! Brainscan!
    I don’t know how – how you survive,
    I don’t know how – how you survive,
    I don’t know how you –
    (Dave): You’re alive.

  • Too Much Fun
    (Brad Shepherd/Dave Faulkner)

    Too much fun, hey, I can stand,
    (I’m a match for any man)
    Too much fun – might be for you
    (I could if I wanted to)
    Too much fun, now ain’t you heard
    (Fun ain’t a four letter word)
    Too much fun, can’t be denied
    (Drive a man to suicide)

    Too much fun, too much fun.
    Too much fun, honey, I can stand.

    Too much fun – baby, not tonight.
    (Two wrongs don’t make a right)
    Too much fun – hey, time is tight.
    (Too much fun – outta sight!)

    Too much fun, too much fun.
    Too much fun, honey, I can stand.
    Too much!
    Too much!

    Too much fun, too much fun.
    Too much fun, too much, too much fun.
    Too much fun, honey, I can stand.

    How much fun can you stand?
    (Too much, too much fun!)

  • Dressed In Black
    (Brad Shepherd)

    Here you come, you’re all dressed in black
    Don’t you know that I am here for you ?
    Times, they are tough, sometimes it gets you down
    But I’ll help with what you want to do …

    And if you try too hard
    You’ll only push it too far
    We know who you are – a superstar.

    You have been hurt, you’re sorry for yourself
    Well, there is no argument
    So you retreat, hiding your love away
    Well, that is no testament

    … And you could cry yourself a river
    I say damn your eyes
    You’re not such a tragic figure – realise

    Here they come, they’re all dressed in black
    When you’ve always been your own man
    You have a friend, but if you can’t look back
    Then I’ll try to understand …

    ‘Cause its surely my concern
    That your fire still burns
    So we each must take our turn to live and learn.

    Do it now.

  • I Think You Know
    (Dave Faulkner)

    You’ve got me going,
    To-ing and fro-ing,
    I think you know.
    I think you know.
    You’ve got me running,
    Going and coming,
    I think you know.
    I think you know.

    Look at me, look at me.

    What am I doing,
    Fro-ing and to-ing?
    I think you know.
    I think you know.
    I’m always saying
    Day-out and day-in
    I think you know.
    I think you know.

    Look at me, look at me.

     

  • The Doctor Is In
    (Dave Faulkner)

    If you’re looking for a yes,
    Look out, you’ve got the right address.

    Do come in, the doctor is in.
    Step this way, you’ll be a-okay.
    My prescription for you is do just what I say.

    Do confess, you look a mess.
    Turning grey, well I am depressed.
    The doctor’s ready for you so you can get undressed.

    I can’t promise you a cure
    But I can cool your temperature.

    Open wide, stick out your tongue.
    Breathe in deep. You’ve got a fine pair of lungs.
    Your body looks fine to me, you’re very well hung.
    You’re very well hung.

    Ain’t no sin to jump out of your skin.
    Ain’t no crime, it’s gonna be sublime.
    The doctor’s in for you, honey, anytime.
    The doctor’s in for you, you’re feeling fine.
    You’re feeling fine.

    I need a second opinion.
