’75 Where are the young Turks, with the wild blood? Yeah we were gonna change the world. Where are the young blades, with all the answers yeah? We were young, we were gonna change the world, We were gonna change the world. The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life, Seventy-five it was a good year for the time. Where did it go? Was it so long ago? The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old. Where are the young gods, who walked on water? Yeah we were gonna change the world. Where are the heroes, long forgotten yeah? We were young, we were gonna change the world, We were gonna change the world. The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life, Seventy-five it was a good year for the time. Those analogue days, funny clothes we used to wear; The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old. So where are all the heroes? Where are all the heroes? So where are all the heroes? Hey you with the junked-up eyes – you just want a little time; Yeah you just want to stay alive. The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old. The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life, Seventy-five it was a good year for the time. But where did it go? Was it so long ago? The class of Seventy-five, we all, we all got old. The class of Seventy-five, it was the time of your life, Seventy-five it was a good year for the time. Those analogue days, funny clothes we used to wear; The class of Seventy-five... © Faulkner

CHECK OUT THE BABE She’s head over heels on Monday, A broken-hearted babe on Sunday, And there she goes, the fun-packed life of a babe. She’s strawberry blonde on Thursday, Saturday’s lace is cute all Barbie, Check out the babe, she’s got a smile from here to Mars, Check out the babe, yeah she loves guys who play guitars. And she loves to watch the cute guys, Sippin’ her banana surprise, And there she goes, the fun-packed life of a babe. Check out the babe, she’s got a smile from here to Mars, Check out the babe, yeah she loves guys who play guitars. Here comes the girl, with the sun in her eyes, Check out the babe, she’s so cool… cool… cool Head over heels on Monday, A broken-hearted babe on Sunday, Check out the babe, she’s so cool… cool… cool Here comes the girl, with the sun in her eyes, And there she goes, the fun-packed life of a babe. Check out the babe, she’s got a smile from here to Mars, Check out the babe, yeah she loves guys who play guitars.

AUTOMATIC I’m just an ordinary guy, with an ordinary face, In an ordinary town, full of ordinary people. And I’ve got an ordinary job, with an ordinary firm, We make ordinary things, for the ordinary world. Through nine to five it’s such an endless bore, It doesn’t matter to me, There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. And we’ve got ordinary kids, they catch an ordinary bus, To their ordinary school, full of ordinary teachers. And in that ordinary bus, they pass an ordinary church, Full of ordinary prayer, full of ordinary preachers. With you around I’m never in the shade, You’re always shining on me, There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. It’s automatically you, it’s automatic it’s sunshine It’s automatically, it’s automatically you Oh, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. Yeah, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race, As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine. There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by... © Faulkner

Guardian Angel Who’s watching over you, when I’m gone? Who’s looking out for you? Is your guardian angel watching over you? Who’s taking care of you, when I’m gone? Who’s smiling over you? Is your guardian angel walking by your side? So leave a light in your window, Let me know you’re alright, let me know. I’ll be your guardian angel, You’ll always have a friend along the way. I’ll be your guardian angel, I’ll be there when a danger comes your way, Watching over you day after day, I’ll be your guardian angel. Who keeps you safe at night when I’m gone? Who’s there to make it right? Is your guardian angel watching over you? So leave a light in your window, Let me know you’re alright, let me know, I’ll be your guardian angel. You’ll always have a friend along the way. I’ll be your guardian angel, I’ll be there when a danger comes your way, Watching over you day after day, I’ll be your guardian angel. So leave a light in your window, Let me know you’re alright, let me know, I’ll be your guardian angel. You’ll always have a friend along the way. I’ll be your guardian angel, I’ll be there when a danger comes your way, Watching over you day after day, I’ll be your guardian angel. I’ll be your guardian angel. You’ll always have a friend along the way. I’ll be your guardian angel, I’ll be there when a danger comes your way, Watching over you day after day, I’ll be… © Eric Faulkner 2018

My Love’s Requiem I’m talking to the trees Telling them that I’m still here Shooting out the breeze Telling them that I’ll be here When you need a friend I will be here at the bitter end So what kind of sentimental fool am I? Without you here it’s a fact I’m history A casualty of love one more tragedy Oh what a day for my love’s requiem And I don’t know what to say At my love’s requiem Talking in my sleep Wake up to an empty bed Talking in my dreams I remember what I said – You were standing there – Dressed in white – you were standing there I called your name – we were lovers then So what kind of sentimental fool am I? Without you here it’s a fact I’m history A casualty of love one more tragedy Somewhere along the way love was crucified My hanging heart’s up for sale It don’t feel much All it needs is a little love a tender touch Oh what a day for my love’s requiem I don’t know what to say at my love’s requiem I’m talking to the trees Telling them that I’m still here Shooting out the breeze Telling them that I’ll be here When you need a friend I will be here at the bitter end © Eric Faulkner

You’re My Soul Oh yeah I, I was running on empty Oh yeah I, I was running on air But then you, yeah you caught me unguarded That love kept coming That love kept growing That good love made a man out of stone Cause I need to be with you Cause you are my soul, my religion You’re my heart’s inspiration You’re my hope, my desire You’re my sun, can’t get higher Just one touch is all that it took yeah One sweet touch, that’s when I came alive But now it’s love, yeah that covers me softly Still that love keeps coming That love keeps growing That good love made a man out of stone Cause I need to be with you Cause you are my soul, my religion You’re my heart’s inspiration You’re my hope, my desire You’re my sun, can’t get higher You’re my soul, my religion You’re my heart’s inspiration You’re my hope, my desire You’re my sun, can’t get higher © Eric Faulkner
