Gabriel: Hi, you wanna use my umbrella…. I’m Gabriel
Stormy seas are made for fishing boats
Winter days are made for winter coats
Autumn leaves are made for kids to kick in
Back seats are made for, goodnight kissing
And I was made for you.
Saturday nights are made for watching bands
Sunset walks are made for, holding hands
Sunday mornings made for, us to sleep in
Memories are made for, just for keeping
And I was made for you.
I was made for you and you were made for me
I love you and you, you love me
My heart is yours and it is yours to keep
My arms are there for your, head to sleep
The sky is there for the, moon and the sun
And you were made to, to be the one.
And I was made for you

Gabriel: Hey I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
The daylight, grows heavy with thunder
That spell you put me under
Is tearing at my brain
The Moonlight, is shining into my room
I’m dizzy with your perfume
And hazy with Champagne
Every time that you look at me, you’re driving me insane
By the time that the sun comes up, I want you gone again
In the morning, I just can’t stand to be with you
I just can’t wait to see you Walking out my door
But in the evening, I’m tired and I’m lonely
I just want you to hold me, raméne ton amour
I’ve got drums there pounding in my brain
I’ve got lava, it’s flowing through my veins
I’m aching, it’s painful and it hurts
I can’t stand it and I’m about to burst

Superman (Revenge)
02:00
|

Did you, feel like superman?
doing all you can, to save my feelings.
and did you, think of me at all?
when you built that wall, i guess you had your reasons.
and you, you just ripped my heart,
tore it all apart, and soon you'll feel like I do.
Down with me, I'll drag you down with me
you took me under I could not breathe.
Look at me, can't you just look at me?
I'll bring you down, down to your knees.

This Old Key (Regret)
04:51
|

Gabriel: Hello? Oh hey, OK yeah, yeah OK, I'll be right down…
I traced the ink on her pale skin 'cause I can't stand real love
All I need is danger 'cause I can't stand real love.
Does this old key your door? I don't know, I don't know.
Does this old key still open your door? I don't know I don't know.
Can you lay down here beside me, I just want your real love
I've searched through sins to guide me I just want your real love
Does this old key still open your door? I don't know, I don't know.
Does this old key still open your door? I don't know, I don't know.
Does this old key still open your door? I don't know, I don't know.
Gabriel: I do anything to get her back, absolutely anything
(The Devil laughs) Anything

Angeline
Do you regret the things you said to me do you regret the things you did?
I opened up my soul for you, you kept your feelings hid
If you saw me how I am today, I know you'd be surprised
Are you sorry that you hurt me, are you sorry that you lied?
And when you kissed me my whole world came alive,
In came the tide and out came the knives
Angeline you took the best of me, took me to the edge of hell, I'm learning to love myself
Angeline I gave my life to you I fell in love and fell apart
I suffered and sacrificed for you, Angeline you broke my heart
my darkened soul is dying now, overwhelmed with fear and dread
Satan's choir is calling me into the world of the dead
And when you kissed me my whole world came alive,
In came the tide and out came the knives
Angeline you took the best of me, took me to the edge of hell, I'm learning to love myself
Gabriel:
It was the Devil that made you love me.
In return I gave my soul
Angeline, please go without me
I deserve a life alone
I can hear the choir calling me
The golden voices of the end
They’re singing my spirit home
To the tune of your revenge
Angeline you took the best of me, took me to the edge of hell, I'm learning to love myself

I said "come back to me, I won't hurt you anymore"
you came back to me but i'm me......then again, you're you.
You love them and you leave them
but you always leave them in love
Your hair of Autumn shades
and you skin of Summer hue
Your face of Spring time beauty
and your eyes of Winter blue
You were the colour of my life and I loved you
My god! how I loved you!
So welcome, to the world my love,
Welcome to the world of the dead!

Satan: Come to me, let me see your face…
You wanted the easy way out
you deserve what you get
come to me now
come and pay your debt
The Choir:Every soul needs selling
Every heart needs breaking
Every Sinner needs saving
And every Saint needs Satan
Welcome to the world of the dead
Where deals are made and lost this is the end
Sacrifice is afterlife
Eternal suffering, no surprise
Satan:you regret the deal you made with me
I can see it in your eyes
but I gave what you what you wanted
now it's time to take my prize
Welcome to the world of the dead
Where deals are made and lost this is the end
Sacrifice is afterlife
Eternal suffering, no surprise
Satan and Choir:
The deal is done so stop pretending
there's nowhere for you to go
so pay up this is your ending
there's one last thing that you should know
Angeline, she screwed you over
she sold her soul for her revenge
so climb aboard your time is over
you're not alone to meet your end
The Choir:Every soul needs selling
Every heart needs breaking
Every Sinner needs saving
And every Saint needs Satan
Welcome to the world of the dead
Where deals are made and lost this is the end
Sacrifice is afterlife
Eternal suffering, no surprise

You can't take my love 'cause it's no longer mine
You can't take my soul to sell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell
You can take my heart my hopes and my dreams
You had me right under your spell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell
Now the train of the damned closes its doors
My heart dies at the sound of the bell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell
I wish you good luck in all that you do
As I sit here and rot in this cell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell, fires of hell.
Now the train of the damned closes its doors
My heart dies at the sound of the bell
You said I'd be safe in your loving arms, but I was safer in the fires of hell

I was on the outside looking in
I craved a better feeling
I craved a warmer feeling
Just like a shadow needs the sun
and every weed needs rain
just like a bad man needs kindness
and a good man needs pain
just like an ocean on a roll,
like a river out of control
I'll keep hanging on,
hanging on
for the one
The one that sets my heart on fire
my obvious desire
my obvious desire
I tried to do the right thing
I really tried to do the right thing
I'm going to need the patience of a flower that waits for summer to begin
a flower that longs for the light at darkness end

Angeline (Reprise)
01:58
|
|||
I regret the things I said to you, I regret the things I did
you opened up your heart to me, you thrilled me but I sinned
Angeline you gave your life away, for anger and revenge
our souls twisted and dying now until the bitter end
and when you kissed me, my whole world came alive
in came the tide and out came the knives
Angeline, you are my destiny,
after what you put me through I'm still in love with you
Angeline, you are my destiny
I paid the final price, eternal sacrifice

A simple smile, a forgotten fear
An empty heart and a lonely tear
Snake-eyed treasure, pushed up pleasure, easy action got me near
it was the daughter of the devil that left me here
excuses, excuses, lies and lies
A moment of kindness, her baby blue eyes
Snake-eyed treasure, pushed up pleasure, easy action in her thighs
it was the daughter of the devil that left me here
Take me back to the fires of hell
You can beat me, you can treat me
Put me under your spell
It was the daughter of the devil that left me here

One Dead Man Tauranga, New Zealand
One Dead Man is the creation of Michael Baxter.
The Deal (Album) is a concept
album/rock opera about the anxiety and the extremes of relationships. Based around the idea of selfishly making a deal with the devil and the power of attraction and revenge.
The album was conceived through New Zealand's lockdown in 2021, after unashamedly listening to the dramatic, over the top, work of Jim Steinman.
