The Real Deal
Dave Faulkner

There’s only one thing that matters, there’s only one thing
There’s only one Fate that happens, there’s only one Fate
There’s only one prize worth taking, so open your eyes
There’s only one love worth making, there’s only one love
There’s only one love

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?
Are you the real deal?

There’s only one time worth wasting, this is your time
There’s only one fruit worth tasting , there’s only one fruit
There’s only one life, start living, there’s only one life
There’s only one gift, start giving, there’s only one gift
There’s only one gift

Do you mean it, do you mean it, do you understand?
Do I trust you, ‘cos I must to leave it in your hands
Are you the real deal?
Are you real?

I wanna know – are you the real deal
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?

There’s only one line worth taking, there’s only one line
There’s only one love worth making, there is only one love
There is only one love

I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?
It’s so real

God Fearing Family Man
Dave Faulkner

When your race is run, and your day is done
Have you had your fun, or had any?
When the die cast, and you’re fading fast
As you breathe your last, are you ready?

Are you waiting for somebody to kiss it better?
You’ll have to wait until the date is the twelfth of never
Forever!

Well, you can’t take it with you
But that don’t stop you trying
You’ve got it all figured out
‘Cos you’re a God-fearing family man

When the lines are drawn, and your time has come
And your mind is gone- will you miss it?
When you add the score and you want some more
And the final straw is there isn’t

Are you waiting for somebody to kiss it better?
You’ll have to wait until the date is the twelfth of never
Forever!

When you look in the mirror
Your face looks quite contented
You’re looking cute in the suit
That you bought on a trip to Milan
And you don’t really mind
If you could be called self-centred
You’ve got your eyes on the prize
And you’re a God-fearing family man
A God-fearing family man

If money talks, well, yours is shouting
Taxation laws were made for flouting
What can’t be bought, it ain’t worth having
So keep on grabbing what you can
While you can, ‘cos you can
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Are you thinking you’re gonna be here forever?
The year’ll fade until the date is the twelfth of never
Well, whatever

Well, the world’s in a mess but your own’s completely ordered
You put it down to the fact that you’re a touch of a Heavenly plan
You keep an eye on the neighbours and find that it’s all too sordid
Oh yeah, pat yourself on the back ‘cos you’re a God-fearing family man
A God-fearing family man
God-fearing family man…

Quicksand
Dave Faulkner

Quicksand
Hold on ‘til I reach you
Hang in – I’m running to free you

All alone in the wilderness
Craving for a sweet caress
Love appears in a cool mirage
A fatal trap under camouflage

It’s like quicksand
They all tried to warn you
Old ways are too easy to fall into

You broke away from my caravan
You didn’t trust the camel man
You wanted space so you took it all
Now who’s around here to see you fall

Into quicksand
I ain’t trying to blame you
Call me – now don’t be ashamed to

I’m alone in the dead of night
Dreaming of Turkish delight
An empty bed is a barren land
It drinks the tears up like burning sand

I only pray that I ain’t too late
There’s something left to extricate
Just relax, don’t give in to fear
If you struggle you will disappear

Under quicksand
Hold on ‘til I reach you
Hang in – I’m running to free you

Quicksand
I’m searching for traces
Come home to my cool oasis

It’s like quicksand…

Where's the Action
Dave Faulkner

What do you say, need some action today? OK?
Drive to the Mall, that’s our first port of call, always
Anytime, anywhere, I’m there

This place is dead, let’s go shoot pool instead, I’m there
(Where’s the action. where’s the action?)
So, rack ‘em Gene Hackman and prepare for a fight that I’ll win
(Where’s the action, main attraction?)
Anytime, anywhere, I’m there
You’re the man with plan and I’m there

Head into the city
Look at those pretty lights
Man, I’m feeling lucky
You bet I’ll have fun tonight

Gonna meet somebody
I have never met before
Living for this moment
I don’t need much more
Who could ask for more?

Another day, another dollar, they say, I’ll pay
Give me a call, I’ll see you back down the Mall, OK?
Anytime, anywhere, I’m there

We’ll have a few laughs
And we’ll let down our hair
And I’m there

Gene Hackman
Dave Faulkner

He can do anything that he wants
He can do anything that he wants
Gene Hackman – what a guy
He can bring a tear to your eye

Well, is there anything he can’t do?
Well, is there anything he can’t do?
Gene Hackman – versatile
The leading actor by a country mile
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman

He knows his lines and he hits his marks
He knows his lines and he hits his marks
Gene Hackman – What a pro
He’ll show the Fat Cat just where to go
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman

Gene must have made thousand films
He’s kissed a thousand girls
And made a thousand kills
And let’s not forget he took on Superman!

He’s not man to be trifled with
He’s not man to be trifled with
Gene Hackman – don’t mess around
‘Popeye’ Doyle’ll clean up this town
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman
Oh, Gene…

Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman

Gene must have made thousand films
He’s kissed a thousand girls
And made a thousand kills
And let’s not forget he took on Superman!

He’s won a couple of Oscars too
He’s won a couple of Oscars too
Gene Hackman - take a bow
You deserve it, oh, anyhow
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman
Gene Hackman
Gene…

A Hard Days Night
Lennon/McCartney

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight
Tight, yeah!

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

So why on earth should I moan
'Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight
Tight, yeah!

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
