The Right Time
(Faulkner)

Baby, here we come!
We’re gonna step on you
Just stay out of our way, now.
Listen, we don’t care
Keep your business to yourself
You’ve got too much to say, now.

You are mine anytime,
There’s no time like the right time.

Baby, we ain’t sure
That we like your attitude.
Don’t you act like a child, now.
We ain’t here for long,
(there’s) no excuse your being rude,
Service me with a smile now.

You are mine.
Anytime,
There’s no time like the right time.
Make a sign,
Cross that line,
There’s no time like the right time.

Baby, watch your step,
We might have to mess you up!
Just get out of our way, now.
You might live longer that way, now.

Crossed Wires
(Faulkner)

Spread out your wings, let’s see you fly.
What does it take to get you high?
Not something money ever buys.
Damage control is bought to bear,
With cracks appearing everywhere,
But you’re too far gone to even care.
You don’t care.

You’re in a mind set,
You’ve got your wires crossed.
Are even these words lost on you? Oh, yeah.

One of these days I hope you’ll learn,
How candles are supposed to burn.
You act as if that’s no concern of yours,
But it is.

You’ve taken a wrong turn,
You’re stuck in a tailspin.
What good has your life been to you? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah,
Now, you can shake your head,
Oh, yeah,
But when you wake up dead,
Will that do you?
Could that cure you?
Oh, yeah,
And all your friends can say,
Oh, yeah,
“It had to end this way.”
You couldn’t face it,
Was all wasted on you.
Nothing they could do.

There has to be a better way
To make believe that you’re o.k.
You’re not the first to feel afraid
There is no shame.
No shame.

Aren’t you afraid?

You’ve taken a wrong turn,
You’re stuck in a tailspin.
What good has your life been to you? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You’re in a mind set,
You’ve got your wires crossed.
Are even these words lost on you? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Quo Vadis
(Faulkner)

Where did everybody go?
Quo vadis, daddy-o?
I can’t dig this scene,
Don’t throw sand in my vaseline.

Where has everybody gone?
It can’t be me they’re running from!
I thought I was hip.
Man, don’t flip me this bum trip.
Where did everybody go?

They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!

Why did everybody leave?
Maybe I’m a bit naive
First we’re having fun,
I turn around, I see no-one.
Where did everybody go?

They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!
They went that-a-way!

That-a-way!
That-a-way!

I won’t breathe a word,
Hey, come clean, daddy, now have you heard,
Where did everybody go?

Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?
Where did everybody go?

Nobody
(Faulkner)

I wish tonight could last forever,
It’s like I’ve never seen the stars before.
We sit in silence by a river,
Aware that this can’t happen anymore.

And you catch the moonlight in your hair
And a whisper from nowhere
Softly tells me that

I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want no-one if I don’t have you.

I guess you’ve always shared my feelings
But until now they’ve only held us back.
A wilderness of fear and darkness
That now reveals itself as innocence.

And you are so perfect in my sight.
We fall silent like the night
That protects us.

And I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want no-one if don’t have you.

And you catch the moonlight in your hair
And a whisper from nowhere
Seems to tell me, tell me, tell me

We must return to home and shelter
And, like before, we’ll go our separate ways.
What we have shared can’t make any difference now.
Your lover calls, your lover calls
And you go back there.

While I only wonder what I’ll do
All tomorrow without you?
All I know now is

I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want anyone if I don’t have you.

I don’t want nobody,
I don’t want anybody,
I don’t want, I don’t want no-one
If I don’t, If I don’t have you.
Don’t have you.
I don’t want nobody
I don’t want nobody
If I don’t have you.

Form A Circle
(Shepherd)

I could really go for you
‘Cause you’re kinda way out too
Freaks me out this scene is mine
I ain’t walking no straight line

Don’t be late – Don’t hesitate
Form a circle!

I feel like a wayward son
You make me get my buzz on
Havin’ you all is my goal
Reach right in and fuck my soul

Fornicate – appropriate
Form a circle!

If its good you gotta do it
Form a circle, get into it
Go ahead, you can’t hide it
Form a circle, don’t you try to fight it

I can feel just where you are
You can never go too far
Same place, same time every week
Won’t you turn the other cheek

Lookin’ good – it’s understood – I wish you would!

If its good you gotta do it
Form a circle, get into it
Go ahead, you can’t hide it
Form a circle, don’t you try to fight it

Form a circle!

Fading Slow
(Shepherd)

Ah, I was ready to meet this journey’s end
Until I met you, my dear friend.
My will was broken, my hand had been dealt
Until you changed it – how I felt.

As the stream leads to the sea, I will flow.
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.

Ah, you have given me life back again,
I feel immortal, king of men.
Give me immersion, love wash over me,
There ain’t no better place to be.

As the stream leads to the sea, I will flow.
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.

No use to try, stop wondering why
‘Cause just like the mighty river I will flow.

I found renewal, I have found someone.
Now we’re together, as if one.

As the stream leads to the sea, I will flow.
What once was now leaves me be, fading slow.

Gospel Train
(Faulkner)

Hey pilgrim, climb aboard the gospel train.
Free trip to heaven – no time to explain!
All aboard the gospel train.
All non-believers can go straight to hell,
Rival religions I condemn as well.
Non – believers, go to hell!
They can take the rest as well.

I was a rock ‘n’ roller long ago.
The hours were too long and the pay was low.
Rock ‘n’ roller long ago.
I sinned in every way that’s known to man,
I sure raised hell but it was all God’s plan.
Every sin that’s known to man
Must have been in God’s big plan.

All aboard the gospel train, its leaving soon.

Now I’m a christian with a tale to tell.
I’d give it freely but I’m forced to sell.
Yes, I have a tale to tell.
I am a businessman in Jesus’ name:
“Give unto Caesar…” and give me the same!
Businessman in Jesus’ name,
All aboard the gospel train!

Gospel train.
Gospel train.
Gospel train.
Train.
Train.

Less Than A Feeling
(Faulkner)

Don’t look to the future – you don’t want to know
What’s wrong with this picture: “The future is in radio”?

A.M., F.M., what’s in a name?
To me, they’re one and the same
It drives me insane.

I need a sound that ain’t found six feet underground,
it’s driving me to despair.
I search your dial for a smile like it’s going out of style.
Is there anyone there?

Don’t tell me the weather is gonna be cold.
You know you should never commit yourself
to statements so bold.
Golden oldies, tired and true,
In ten years what will you do?
I’m talking to you!

I need a sound that ain’t found six feet underground,
it’s driving me to despair.
I search your dial for a smile like it’s going out of style.
Is there anyone there?

What about superstars
surrounded by bodyguards,
champagne and caviar?
You’re gonna need some Anusol,
When Hollywood meets Rock’n’ Roll.

I need a sound that ain’t found six feet underground,
it’s driving me to despair.
I search your dial for a smile like it’s going out of style.
Is there anyone there?

I need a sound that ain’t found six feet underground,
it’s driving me to despair.
I search your dial for a smile like it’s going out of style.
Is there anyone there?
Is there anyone there?
Is there anyone there?

You Open My Eyes
(Shepherd)

Seagulls fly an opal sky.
Likewise, fish are swimming in the ocean.
Sunlight streaming thru the clouds,
Not a care in this world, not a notion.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry,
You make me feel like I will never die.
You can open my eyes with your sweet loving.

Flowers gently open wide,
Swallow me up whole inside a daydream.
Everything is nothing here
And nothing really ever is as it seems.

I appreciate the majesty
Colliding in this lovely catastrophe.
You can open my eyes with your sweet loving.

…And it’s a long, long way,
It’s a sunshine day.
It’s a long, long way from where I began…

The moon, he’s smiling down on us.
Stars, they dance across the heavens above.
I feel like a child again,
My arms wrapped around the girl that I love.

Ooh, angel, you blow my soul.
All the wonders of this world now unfold…

You can open my eyes with your sweet loving.

Hypocrite Blues
(Faulkner)

GURU: “Don’t do what I do, do what I say.
If that sounds like voodoo, well, what the hey?
I know what I mean
And my hands are clean.

“Don’t do what your parents say you should.
That don’t wash in this here neighbourhood.
Go out, raise some hell,
Maybe cash as well.
Who cares if we wake up in a cell?”

DISCIPLE:
“I don’t want to get left behind
Oh, I won’t follow anybody blind.
I just can’t make up my mind,
Oh, I’ll take one step at a time
Oh, I’ve got no answer now
Oh no, I’ve have no answer now.

“I don’t want to get left behind
I just can’t make up my mind.
I won’t follow anybody blind,
I’ll take one step at a time
Oh, I’ve got no answer now
Oh no, I’ve got no answer now”.

GURU:
“You begin to bore What’re you waiting for?
There are no exceptions to my law.
Except for, maybe, me.

“You see around here, you’re either in you’re out.
And you’re out.”

I See You
(Shepherd)

You’ve been sending me a message
that I cannot ignore,
’cause your mouth done shot you thru’
the stratosphere of folklore.
Don’t you get it? Let me lend you a clue.
I see you, I see right through you.

You’re a sad malignant loser,
why do you continue?
I’m your mirror so wherever you go,
man – I see you.
I can’t tolerate your self-righteous views.
I see you, I see right through you.

I see you, I see you.
I see you, I see you.

Monumental load of shit
It’s beaming in loud and clear.
C’mon, give my ears a break,
hell, I’ve had you up to here!
I know who you are, I know what you do.
I see you, I see right through you.

I see you, I see you.
I see you, I see you.
I see you, I see you. I see you.

I see you.

Judgement Day
(Shepherd / Faulkner)

Sinners are you ready?
For the judgement day is nigh.
Lift your eyes to heaven
As the storm clouds fill the sky.

It will all be over in the batting of an eye,
Better kiss the sweet life goodbye.

You can’t draw fresh water
From a well that’s almost dry.
Hope may spring eternal
But there’s none for you and I.

There will be no sorrow,
There’ll be no reason to cry
As we kiss this sweet life goodbye,
And we remember how it feels to die.

Everybody wants you to be happy,
Everybody hopes you’re feeling good,
So good.
And you should.
Yes, you should.

Sinners are you ready?
For the judgement day is nigh.

The Mountain
(Faulkner)

Love it or leave it,
The choices are few.
Where is the magic?
Wave your wand ’til your dreams come true.
I’m high on illusion,
Like a fool who is truly in love
Whose act of suspension
Only proves there are wires above.

Now you see the ways things are
You can’t pretend you’re blind.
You can’t have a change of heart
Before you change your mind.

Give me a reason
Or give me a rhyme,
One man’s high treason
Is another’s victimless crime.
We say we want justice
To be blind and be binding on all
But nobody wants it
On their heads where the sword must fall.

Why is everybody laughing at me?
Why is everybody happy but me?

I wait for a mountain
That won’t ever come.
I feel just like Mohammed
And, perhaps, a little bit dumb.
Others go climb it.
You ask them why, they’ll reply “‘Cause it’s there!”
But me and my mountain
We’re not getting, getting nowhere.

Why is everybody laughing at me?
Why is everybody happy but me?
While I was standing here
I got this wild idea:
I thought everyone was laughing at me.

Now you see the way things are
You can’t pretend you’re blind
You can’t have a change of heart
Before you change your mind.
Now you see the way things are
You can’t pretend,
Pretend that you’re blind.

Stop talking, start walking.
Do something more than moving your mouth.
Stop talking, start walking.
Do something more than moving your mouth.
Stop talking, start walking.
Do something more than moving your mouth.
Stop talking,
Start walking,
Do something –
Do anything!

Road Hog
(Shepherd)

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Wait For The Sun
(Faulkner)

I’m getting tired of all this never-ending rain that sometimes I
Wanna go live in a desert all alone but then I
Would get thirsty for the milk of human kindness even though
There’s precious little ‘round here anyway

I’ll wait for the sun that never comes.
I wait for the sun.

It’s raining cats and dogs and blowing up a gale that threatens
To tear apart the very fabric of our lives and anyone
Who hides behind a veil of lies will soon find themselves exposed
To the truth they’ve fought their whole life to avoid.

I’ll wait for the sun that never comes.
I wait for the sun.
I’ll wait for the sun that never comes.
I wait for the sun.

Now, it’s been away so long,
Weather man says, “Nothing’s wrong.
It’s alright, just sit tight.
Though I’ve made mistakes before,
Tomorrow will be fine for sure.”
So you say.
I bet it don’t turn out that way.

Don’t wait for change to happen, it’s up to each of us to turn the tide
And if we drown in trying there’s worse ways to die, such as
Just hiding in your bedroom praying that your dam will not burst and
Wash away the petty life you have known.

I’ll wait for the sun that never comes.
I wait for the sun.
I’ll wait for the sun that never comes.

I wait for the sun.
I wait for the sun.
I wait for the sun.
I wait for the sun.
I wait for the sun.
I wait for the sun.

End Of The Line
(Faulkner)

Hey everybody, gather ‘round.
Say, do you like what’s coming down?
Everyone feels the same as you
So you know what you have to do.
Stand your ground for your point of view.
To thine own self you have to be true.

Hey everybody, do you hear
The sound of marching drawing near?
Are you trapped in the comfort zone?
On your feet, ’cause you’re not alone.
You gotta move like a rolling stone
Heading out for the great unknown.

Everybody’s gotta make their choice (Destination)
Everybody’s gotta find their voice (Liberation)
Are you ready? Let me hear some noise!
Push (This time)
’Til we find (We’ll find)
That this time (This time)
We’ve reached the end of the line.

Hey everybody, here we go,
From Timbuktu to Tokyo,
From the Thames to the Amazon,
All the way back to Babylon.
Call the man in the Pentagon,
Let him know where we’re coming from.

Everybody’s gotta make their choice (Celebration)
Everybody’s gotta find their voice (Education)
Are you ready? Let me hear some noise!
Push (This time)
’Til we find (We’ll find)
That this time (This time)
We’ve reached the end of the line.

Hey everybody, gather ‘round.
Hey everybody, do you hear?
Hey everybody, here we go.

Television Addict
(Baker / Faulkner)

Read the news the other day
About a boy they threw away.
He went out and shot someone
Like some Kojak teleplay.
The papers claimed he was confused
between fact and fantasy.
It seems he spent all of his time
In front of a T,V. screen

He was a television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.

His lawyer said, “This boy is sick.
Blame the ratings for his crime.”
They say too much sex and too much violence on the idiot box
Spoiled his idiot mind.

He was a television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.
Now watch me.

Television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.
Television addict.

Now, you and me, we spend all of our time
In front of our Window On The World.
Just because I watch Dinah Shore
Doesn’t mean I need a facelift,
Doesn’t mean my brain has slipped.
Doesn’t mean anything.
There’s more of everything on my mind than
On any television screen.
We’re not dumb.

(Television addict)
We’re not dumb.
(Television addict)
Just because I watch Dinah Shore.
(Television addict)
Just because I watch Mary Tyler-Moore.
(Television addict)
Just because I watch Lucille Ball.
(Television addict)
Just because I watch ’em all
(Television addict)
We’re not dumb, we’re not dumb.
(Television addict)
We don’t have to kill our own mothers if we don’t want to.

Something I Forgot To Say
(Faulkner)

Something I forgot to say,
Thought you knew it anyway.

But I’ll spell it out for you
If I need to tell you.
If it really helps you.
I’ll do anything to please.
Let me set your mind at ease.

But I hope you understand,
Though it was unspoken,
(I hope you understand)
I left myself wide open.
The facts were always there to see.

I don’t wanna mystify you,
I wouldn’t know how.
I don’t wanna terrify you
But don’t you think you should have known by now?

Something I forgot to say.
If I thought it mattered I would have set you straight.
Though I guess I should have known
You might have some questions
(I guess I should have known)
But I had the false impression
It was written on my face.

I don’t wanna criticise you,
That isn’t my way,
But if I antagonise you
It must be something I forgot to say.

We’re as close as night and day.
You see black and white while I,
I see shades of grey

But I’ll spell it out for you
If it really helps you
(I’ll spell it out for you)
If I need to tell you

Something I forgot to say
Something I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
I forgot to say.
