Tahiti 80 are a French indie pop band from Rouen and Paris. The group was founded in 1993 by Xavier Boyer, Pedro Resende, Médéric Gontier and Sylvain Marchand.
Singer and guitarist Boyer and bassist Resende formed the pop combo as students at the University of Rouen, sharing an affinity for indie music, new wave and sixties pop. Taking their name from a souvenir t-shirt given to Boyer's father in 1980, the duo recruited guitarist Mederic Gontier, and with the addition of drummer Sylvain Marchand a year later, the lineup was complete. The foursome released a self-produced and self-financed EP, "20 Minutes" (Bobby Records 1996) which resulted in them signing a deal with French label Atmospheriques.
In 1998, the band flew to NYC to record their first album "Puzzle" with Andy Chase. Featuring contributions from Eric Matthews and Adam Schlesinger, "Puzzle" was mixed in Sweden with Tore Johansson. The record, released between the end of 1999 & early 2000 received much praise from the press (band of the week in Melody Maker in Spring 1999), and saw the band touring the world to promote it. "Puzzle" eventually went gold in Japan. Of all the singles taken from the album, "Heartbeat" was the most successful. Tahiti 80's US label, Minty Fresh, released a mini LP called "Extra Pieces", which included B-sides, remixes & other rarities.

Come and get it, come and get it now
There's a big day waiting for you
Come and get it, come and get it now
Such a big day waiting for you
If you're willing just to take a chance
You gonna shine, shine on, my friend
Shine on, my friend
You were there up in my room
Didn't have a word to say
Suddenly you started to move
So i thought that must be a way
To get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Come and get it, come and get it now
There's a big day waiting for you
Come and get it, come and get it now
Such a big day waiting for you
If you're willing just to take a chance
You gonna shine, shine on, my friend
Shine on, my friend
Maybe you got something to prove
I'll clear your doubts away
Nothing can happen too soon
Too late to think about it anyway
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Come and get it, come and get it now
There's a big day waiting for you
Come and get it, come and get it now
Such a big day waiting for you
If you're willing just to take a chance
You gonna shine, shine on, my friend
Shine on, my friend
A new day is rising
I know exactly what i'm doing
I feel
I feel little things falling in today [such a big day]
After all this waiting [such a big day]
I know, i know [such a big day]
Come on there's a big day [such a big day]
Yeah such a big day
Come and get it now
Come and get it now
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Just to get a little closer to you
Oooh ooh ooh
Just to get a little closer to you
Shine on
Come and get it, come and get it now
Come and get it, come and get it now
Come and get it, come and get it now
Come and get it, [such a big day] come and get it now
Come and get it, come and get it now
Come and get it, [such a big day] come and get it now
Just to get a little closer to you
As I was thinking about the things that you said
I looked up to the sky to see a cloud passing by
There must be something wrong
There must be something wrong
Better days will come
Better days will come
No you can't always win, I guess you'd rather
Just wait.
When you're dressed in leather,
I could be John Steed forever
And even when, the sun is not here
You come home (?) like a cup of coffee
Chorus:
And, you, you don't know what you do
But you're always doing well
And even if I've got your picture
In my left shoe,
That doesn't help me
And when the sun is out,
I come home white as snow
And when I'm dressed in leather,
I look like the bloke from the Village People
Chorus:
And you, you don't know what to do
But you're always doing well...
And even if I've got your picture
In my left shoe,
That doesn't help
No, that doesn't help me that much
You know they call it paradise
They say that beauty lies
In the eye of the beholder
I don't know, ask me when I'm older
Ask me when I'm older
See me now, see me now
I know it's coming
Hear it now, hear it now
I hear the voices calling
Feel it now, feel it now
The temperature's rising
See me now, hear it now
I know you've been waiting
You know they call it paradise
For once I won't tell you any lies
Through my eyes it looks much brighter
'Til I'm dead, ask me when I'm older
Just ask me when I'm older
You know they call it paradise
You know they call it paradise
The temperature's rising
The colors are changing
[Unverified] can't stop it now
So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play
And with your hair swung right
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be all right
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls'll tear you apart
The price you paid for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane
The money, the fame, and the public acclaim
Don't forget who you are
Silentry waliking on unfamiliar street
I'm trying to prevent
A flow of emotions from running
All over me
I wish I could keep this memory alive inside of me
I wish I could keep this memory alive inside of me
This light is strange
The colours are rearranged
I take a look at the butterflies
Turning madly, above me
I wish I could keep this memory alive inside of me
I wish I could keep this memory alive inside of me
No one's gonna make this feeling happen again
No one's gonna make this memory happen again
Silentry waliking on unfamiliar street
I'm trying to prevent
The butterflies from flying
A strange thing happened to me when I was way
Younger than I am today. Isn't it stange
to see that things never really go away
I thought it was all under control
But time suddenly took its toll
And gave me a role to play
With my face on the floor
I wish I could tell you more
Strange words came out from my mouth
In a way I'd never known,
like talking over the phone
Years later, I'm standing right at the place
I talked about on that most peculiar day
With no change to get away.
With my face on the floor
I wish I could tell you more
Things just stick around and they never go away
It keeps coming back,
Always follows your tracks
A strange thing happened to me when I was way
Changes are happening
It's too late to turn back
What you had in mind
Is turning into something of another kind
Changes are happening
All over the place
Feels like you were slapped
By a big hand in the face
No need to understand
It's far too late
Just let it go
Your only choice is to abdicate
Changes are happening
It's too late to turn back
Changes are happening
The surface begins to crack
What you had in mind
Is turning into something of another kind
Remember when you were a kid
Playing in the yard
No fence was high enough
To stop you moving forward
It's the same situation now
Nothing can stop you
Just go, go now
Changes are happening
It's too late to turn back
Changes are happening
The surface begins to crack
What you had in mind
Is turning into something of another kind
Just dream anything you want to say
Make up the rules for the games you choose to play
Just dream anything you ever want to say
Make up the rules for the games you choose to play
Changes...
The truth's right there
Right in front of your eyes
You can't pretend it was a big surprise
And don't pretend it was a big surprise
Changes ...
Changes are happening now
It's all over the place
What you had in mind
I first saw it when you were smiling
I could tell something was wrong
And the way you were laughing
It just lasted too long
As if you were trying hard
To pretend everything was fine
When I knew deep in my heart
That it was all just falling apart
Let's run away from the path
We used to take each day
And then we'll face the aftermath
Of our yesterdays
Is it me or are we really
Going out of our minds?
I'd never thought I would be
Somebody not so kind
I don't want to bring you down
But there's no one else around
It's like walking in a ghost town
Or living six feet under ground
Let's run away from the path
We used to take each day
And then we'll face the aftermath
Of our yesterdays
That's what I'd love to say
I know I'll find a way
Let's run away from the path
We used to take each day
And then we'll face the aftermath
(originally performed by AR Kane)
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
A love from outer space
It's true oh
I know where she's coming from
Space is where we both belong
Got to tell her in this song
This time nothing can go wrong (X2)
Take a ticket to ride the space express
Meet the girl in the starstruck dress
She trusts me more than I can never guess
I just couldn't wait for her caress
She comes from the milky way
She came to earth for my birthday
We worked out hard to communicate
She said I am not a fake
Shalalalalalala hoo (X4)
She loves me she loves me she loves me
you came to me
Saying:"are you ready
To close your eyes
Take off your disguise?"
(I) Said"I don't know
How far can this go?
Walking on a tightrope
Isn't my sort of dope
You see, It's way too much for me"
Don't misunderstand me please baby
So many things are often said in vain
Don't misunderstand me please baby
You can ask me again
Then evertything went wrong.
I never thought
Silence could be so strong,
Believe it or not.
You came to me
saying "would you be
A funambulist?"
But it wasn't on my list
Of things to do
And you got angry too
Don't misunderstand me please baby
So many things are often said in vain
Don't misunderstand me please baby
You can ask me again
Don't misunderstand me please baby
So many things are often said in vain
So give me a hand and then maybe
Voices in my head saying yes and no
feelings and emotions that I can't let go
Don't misunderstand me please baby
So many things are often said in vain
Don't misunderstand me please baby
Don't misunderstand
I was sleeping in my own bed
With three fairies above my head
Contemplating the reason they were there
Oh power is the law you find out as you grow
But I've been waiting and waiting in vain
And there's still nothing new in my hands
Love is a state
I hope I'll never forget
If I could know my fate
Things would be nicer
Things would be nicer
I was standing among fifteen
They were all down on their knees
Trying to sing their troubles
Their troubles and their fear
Oh even if I wanna learn
How to avoid those fifteen girls
Still running faster than me
What am I doing here
Love is a state I hope
I'll never forget
(Never forget, never forget)
If I could know my fate
Things would be nicer
I return home with special food for my spirit
My presence will pass into eternity
We'll never be younger than today
Tomorrow's yesterday, it's never too late
You write your pretty songs
Just to discover what you wrote
You did something when you were younger...
We'll never be younger than today
Tomorrow's yesterday, it's never too late
Everything is over now
Everything is over now
We'll never be younger than today
(And today's left us so fast)
There are so many things to say about Joe
First why did we let him go
A star of second-hand record markets
Sweet eyes with a bow tie and it's done
Hey Joe!How can we know
What you've been doing all these years?
It's not that I'm asking you for money
I just want you by my side
His brother Marc and his cousin Bob
They were both chased by huge mobs
While Joe he could only sing about the things
Crazy women didn't bring
Hey Joe! How can we know
What you've been doing all these years?
It's not that I'm asking you for money
I just want you by my side
Write a song Sing along
That's all we can do (sing a song)
That's all we can do (to hear from you)
That's all we can do
Hey Joe! How can we know
What you've been doing all these years?
It's not that I'm asking you for money
I just want you by my side
You spend your days on your own
Thinking about troubles of your own
You dream of the day
You will accept your reflections all alone
You're not the only one
To feel that way you know
I'm not the only one
To feel that emptiness in me
You know that's why
I'd like to be somebody else
Somebody without feelings
Only sensations and money
There is nothing within my range
That can bring this radical change
Everyday's the same
The story's rather tame
Among everyone I know
No one ever shows
What in their heart grows
Or I guess I don't want to know
I'm afraid of what I'd see
People disgust me
When I find out what they're all about
You're not the only one
To feel that way you know
I'm not the only one
To feel that emptiness in me
You know that's why
I'd like to be somebody else
Somebody without feelings
Only sensations and money
...Only sensations,
You feel you have nothing to hide
It's dazzling like a star, yet there is
something inside
Beautiful and dangerous like a rose
Something telling you, you shouldn't
get too close
Don't try, Because
(Chorus)
You may burn your wings and crash to the ground
It makes you wish you were lost and never found
But you feel your face is blushing now
Looking back, it's always the same vicious circle
You fall in love like you'd fall from a bicycle
And everybody's walking in slow motion
You don't, you can't control your reaction
You should try, Because
(Chorus)
Your eyes are like an open book,
One can tell everything from the way you look
The way you look
(Chorus)
Cause your eyes are like an open book,
One can tell everything from the way you look
Mr Davies lives in a big house
In a town called L.A.
He drinks champagne for breakfast
In his swimming pool
He has a sister named Victoria
She lives somewhere in Australia
To visit her he takes his private jet
He's now a gifted pilor
He doesn't care for his brother
No more place in the picture book
And he gives me complexes
Because he's considered a songwriter
And I'm not at this time...
When Mr Davis goes shopping
He says hello to David... Charlie Watts
He gave up pop music
To play squash with Ringo Starr
But that does not matter
When you listen to his selected discography
And he gives me complexes
Because he's considered a songwriter
As I look back on some nights in the park,
Strange meetings in the dark,
I can see you talking to unknown shadow
As the black sky is coming down on us so low
(Chorus)
And I wonder why
I always keep pleasant memories of the past
Why anything bad or good seems better,
once it has passed
I'm facing the ceiling, alone in the dark
Remembering all the things
which have left a mark
I find it hard to see what stands in the shadow
As if somebody didn't want me to know
(Chorus)
This very personal story
May only make sense to me
It's gonna cause you sorrow
It's gonna give you all you need
Forget about tomorrow
Don't dramatize the things you did
It quickly flows to the sea
So quickly you won't see
So many things to face
And you're still in the wrong place
It's easy if you try
Don't emphasize the things inside
It quickly flows to the sea
So quickly you won't see
It's time to say goodbye
Put on your swimming suit
There's something that I wanna keep
inside my heart where feelings are soul deep
things could get worse day after day,
I know my dreams would never fade away.
I know you've got soul but you're wasting your time
looking for our goal you don't need to find
so please change your style and start living for a while
everything is already there in your heart.
yeah yeah yeah
It's there when you are asleep
when you heart beats you can hear it soul deep.
Things could get worse day after day
I know my dreams would never fade away
I know you've got soul
but you're wasting your time
looking for our goal
you don't need to find
no need to find
so please change your style
and start thinking for a while
everything is already there in your heart.
Yeah
I only want you to try something new
I only want you to believe in you
That's what you have to do.
Trust me, it's true.
That's what you have to do.
La la la la la la la
That's what you have to do.
There's something that I wanna keep
inside my heart where feelings are soul deep.
I know you've got soul
but you're wasting your time
I feel it by my side
It's been there for a while, now
It could make things better
There's still something out there
That we never talk about
It could make my life easier
Make my life easier
(Chorus)
Will you offer,
What I'm after?
Hope you'll do it someday
So we'll never go our separate ways
I don't want to make you cry
Just make you wonder why
You'll have to find the answer
I feel it oh so well
So why is it hard for you to tell?
You'd make my life easier
Make my life easier
(Chorus)
Please find the time
And make a decision
Now is the right time
To answer this question
(Chorus)
So we'll never go our saparate ways
Separate Ways Lyrics
I feel it by my side
It's been there for a while, now
It could make things better
There's still something out there
That we never talk about
It could make my life easier
Make my life easier
(Chorus)
Will you offer,
What I'm after?
Hope you'll do it someday
So we'll never go our separate ways
I don't want to make you cry
Just make you wonder why
You'll have to find the answer
I feel it oh so well
So why is it hard for you to tell?
You'd make my life easier
Make my life easier
(Chorus)
Please find the time
And make a decision
Now is the right time
To answer this question
(Chorus)
If you've found your hair's got longer
Just go down to the hairdresser
He'll fix your hair and he makes you wonder
What you're gonna do for dinner
Take the time to take a rest
And don't be afraid to look on down
Mind your business and don't get me wrong
Because I don't give a damn'
Does anybody feel the same I do today?
When you want to make me happy
Please don't ask me what to do
I'm not sure I'm the one you want to please
I think it's you, I guess you know it too
Do you really try to change things,
improve them?
Somtimes I feel, you just do the opposite
(Chorus)
And every time we go out of phase
I act if I hadn't noticed it
Hoping everything will go away, with a wave
of the hand and a happy end
Do you really try to change things,
improve them?
Somtimes I feel, you just do the opposite
I know how the story ends,
we are so predictable
But each time your love for me dies a little more
(Chorus)
Make me happy
(Chorus)
Hoping everything will go away
With a wave of the hand
I know you understand
That we all deserve
(cover of Left Banke)
Everything returns again
Both the laughter and the rain
She is living somewhere for a while
Still I ask her in my lonely way to stay
Desiree Desiree
Now she's
Leaving
Desiree you know
How it hurts me
Living alone through all the years
Nothing can hold the tears in me
Everything remains the same
Yet she answers not her name
Still If I could
Look beyond these skies
Standing here again before my eyes I'd see
Desiree Desiree
Now she's
Leaving
Desiree you know
How it hurts me
Where do I run to
Is it real
Nothing but pain I feel for real
Desiree you know
How it hurts me
Living alone through all the years
Nothing can hold the tears in me
Desiree
La la la la la
I'm through with your wicked games
Don't let memories curl me up again
What happened to the old you?
You took out the fire escape
Dressed up in a superhero cape
How come you didn't take me with you?
Please stay by my side
I know you need some time
And people will wonder why we're together
And people will wonder why we still came together
And the movie is still the same
Except for one missing frame
I believe it when I awake with you
It's hard to keep the pace
I painted your colors all over my face
Do you think I am queasy too?
I wanna stay by your side
You will love me sometimes
And people will wonder why we're together
And people will wonder why we still came together
And people will wonder why we're still together
You know this thing's got you now
It's moving in circles off the ground
It's like living your dreams
Where everything is easier than it seems
The carousel, the merry-go-round
Make you feel you've got no bounds
Driving in your bumper car
You feel you could go so far
Do you like being there?
Do you like being at the fun fair?
There's no safety net,
When you miss the target
You don't feel anything, anymore
Nobody can hurt you now that
you're in your protective shell
You don't fear anything, anymore
Watch out boy, this could be your final cell
Do you like being at the fun fair?
Do you like being at the fun fair?
Watch out boy, this could be your final cell
Watch out boy, this could be your final cell
Don't let me make a fool of myself
I only, I only want you to see the best in me
I know we're in this together
But I don't wanna be a broken mirror
There's something about you, girl
Something about you, girl
I know our love will last forever
I know our love will last forever
Put my pride on a shelf
I will leave some space
For you and your mystery
Although I may not
Understand everything you do
You know I just don't mind
Something about you, girl
Something about you, girl
I know our love will last forever
I know our love will last forever
Doing this together
It's only getting better
Doing this together
It's only getting better
We're doing this together
It's only getting better
We're doing this together
It's only getting better
Something about you, girl
Something about you, girl
I know our love will last forever
I know our love will last forever
Something about you, girl
Something about you, girl
I know our love will last forever
I know our love will last forever
Love is all around
Love is all around you
Love is all around
You don't pay attention, do you?
Love is all around
Love is all around you
Love is all around
There's not much you can do
Chorus:
No, you don't understand
Hide your head in the sand
What a stupid thing to do
You don't see what others think of you
Sinking in the quicksand
Your happiness comes in cans
You know it isn't true
Aren't you ready for something new?
Take a look around
I'm the one behind you
Lost in the background
Like a faded tattoo
Can't you hear the sound
Of a heart going underground
Can you hear the sound
Of your heart going underground
Chorus
No, you don't understand
Hide your head in the sand
What a stupid thing to do
You don't see what others think of you
Sinking in the quicksand
Your happiness comes in cans
You know it isn't true
Aren't you ready for something new?
(No it's not over)
No it's not over
You'll find something better
Chorus
No, you don't understand
Hide your head in the sand
What a stupid thing to do
You don't see what others think of you
Sinking in the quicksand
Your happiness comes in cans
You know it isn't true
Can't get much done these days
Gotta find a different way
I'd like to start all over again
Things keep on happening
I only stand and watch them
I need to get back on the train
How was I supposed to know
That you'd be here today
But gone tomorrow?
I always try to anticipate
But it moves so fast
That I can't calculate
Can't get much done these days
Gotta find a different way
I'd like to start all over again
Things keep on happening
I never see them coming
I need to get back on the train
Where am I supposed to go
I've looked everywhere
I've just been watching the show
I know I need to concentrate
The way I feel, I don't articulate
Can't get much done these days
Can't get much done these days
Things keep on happening
I never see them coming
I need to get back on the train
It's plain to see
You're almost there but something is missing
My time, day time
Can't you see that you're trying too hard?
You hear voices
Time to get back where you belong
Can't get much done these days
Can't get much done these days
I'd like to get back on the train
My love, she is unpredictable
She goes where the wind blows
Time flies and, and I wonder why
Why she hasn't come back to me
My love, she is unpredictable
She'll build me up just to knock me down
I'm like a fine nail on the wall
What's she got in store for me
I know you think I'm outta my head
That I should just pack up and run away
The traffic light's stuck on red
But I wouldn't have it any other way
My love, she is unpredictable
She doesn't care where the river is flowing
If you do her good
She might teach you 'bout the birds and bees
My love, she is unpredictable
She'll be gone with the sunrise
Time flies and, and I'm thinking a lot
I better run while I'm still free
I know you think I'm outta my head
That I should just pack up and run away
The traffic light's stuck on red
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Now turn me on, now turn me on
I know you think I'm outta my head
That I should just pack up and run away
The traffic light's stuck on red
But I wouldn't have her any other way
I know you think I'm outta my head
That I should just pack up and run away
The traffic light's stuck on red
But I wouldn't have it any other way
I know you think I'm outta my head
That I should just pack up and run away
The traffic light's stuck on red
But I wouldn't have it any other way
I know you think I'm outta my head
She goes where the wind blows
The traffic light's stuck on red
Unpredictable, unpredictable
Unpredictable, unpredictable
My love, she is unpredictable
She goes where the wind blows
My love, she is unpredictable
Listen, I would like to say
Something you already know
You may wonder why
Then why am I doing this?
It's simple, I'm doing it for me
For me and for you
Don't you worry 'cause I'm not in the mood
For teaching, preaching anything at all
Believe me, oh please, believe me
These words have been inside far too long
These words have been inside far too long
It can't be hard, way too hard
I'll show you what it's all about
It can't be hard, way too hard
You'll show me where to start
Show me where to start
(Show me what it's all about)
It's easy to think you are special
Simple to find out after all
You're just like anybody else
That's all
Something in my heart
Right there from the start
I wish I had something
Something to give out
Can't be hard, way too hard
I'll show you what it's all about
Can't be hard, way too hard
You'll show me where to start
Show me where to start
Show me where to start
Show me where to start
(Show me what it's all about)
Can't be hard, way too hard
I'll show you what it's all about
Can't be hard, way too hard
You'll show me where to start
Show me where to start
My life is a mess
just like everybody elses
I guess
not enough time
and too much stress
i'm neglecting you
I'm not saying
I don't worry at all
There are times and moments
to cure my soul
sit back and relax
it's gonna be alright
I know we can
sort this out
It's just a matter of time
baby can't you see
the look on my face
won't you give me a try
I know we can
work it out
It's just a matter of time
baby won't you say
you'll stay and
kiss me one more time
Life is a test
it can be tough but
i'm doing my best
it takes some time
and alot of stress
but i'm finding my way
I'm not saying
you learn all along
There is always someone
to tell you it's wrong
but i'm talking too much
get back to real life
I know we can
sort this out
It's just a matter of time
baby can't you see
the look on my face
won't you give me a try
I know we can
work it out
It's just a matter of time
baby won't you say
you'll stay and
kiss me one more time
Say the word
and i'll be there
(so don't you worry now)
just say the word
and i'll be there
(so don't you worry now) x3
I'm not saying
I don't worry at all
There are times and moments
to cure my soul
just sit back and relax
it's gonna be alright
I know we can
sort this out
It's just a matter of time
baby can't you see
the look on my face
won't you give me a try
I know we can
work it out
It's just a matter of time
baby won't you say
you'll stay and
kiss me one more time
just say the word woo
and i'll be there
What have I gone and done?
I guess it didn't take me too long
I must have been blinded by the sunshine
And now I've got shivers up my spine
And the cocktails took their toll
I almost droned in the punchbowl
I made a fool of myself
I wish I was somebody else
Chorus:
Won't you come around
I wanna hold you
Won't you come around
I'm dying to see you
Wish I could find a way to say I'm sorry now
Instead of feeling sorry for myself
Won't you come around
It's hard to stand on this sandy ground
It's like I'm walking on a merry-go-round
I know why you're mad at me
And I know it's not temporary
Tonite I will climb over your bungalow wall
I don't care what happens if I fall
Just to make things right with you
You know that's all I want to do
Won't you come around
I wanna hold you
Won't you come around
I'm dying to see you
I'm not sure I can stand it if you change your mind
I don't think I can wait if you need some more time
Oh won't you come around
(What goes around, comes around)
-Hi Zav, What's going on?
-Hey Tim
You know everything was perfect now I've said something
stupid, she won't even talk to me. What should I do?
-Man, you gotta get over there and tell her you love
-You think so?
-Sure
I was there I was watching
Hidden in my time machine
Couldn't understand a thing
That was quite a feeling
Cried my blues away
That was enough for one day
I was watching city lights
They had turned from red to green
wishing I was there with you
But I guess I like here too
Better go back to bed
Before I go out of my head
This is the evening of the day
Another chapter is ending
I can't wait till the morning comes
My mind is full of things to do
Don't know where to start yet
I can't wait till the morning comes
I was so surprised to see
That the word was everywhere
Maybe it's a sign for me
Saying I should change my mind
I'll think about it later on
No time for that righ now
Got a feeling when I'm back
Our lives are gonna change for good
Hopefully we're on the right track
Feels like we're both in the mood
We're getting closer, closer
To the next page in the book
This is the evening of the day
Another chapter is ending
I can't wait till the morning comes
My mind is full of things to do
Don't know where to start yet
I can't wait till the morning comes
I've thought about this for a long time
I've been getting no sleep at night
One day I'm sure I'll forget all about it
Might even make me smile
I guess you crashed my heart at the worst time
You left a bitter taste in my mouth
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Drinking cheep red wine
Tell me what to do
Cause I don't know what to do
You said do what's good for you
That's all you gatta do
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I haven't got a clue
You said do what's good for you
That's what I would do
If I were you
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh, I though I'd given it all away
Ain't that what lovers are supposed to say
One day you come round with a knife
Cut out a chunk of my life
Sometimes I wish I had a yellow jersey on
While wearing it, I'm pretty sure that nothing would go wrong
I would tackles all my troubles and be the one who scores the goal
But now I'm sitting on the bench waiting for my time to come
Tell me what to do, oh yeah
Tell me what to do, oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I don't know what to do
You said do what's good for you
That's all you gatta do
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Tell me what to do
Cause I haven't got a clue
You said do what's good for you
That's what I would do
If I were you
Oh it took me quite a some time
To find out what the fuss was all about
I'm not sure I can tell the difference between good and bad
I just happen to know that what you did wasn't right
It's better to stay away
From games you don't know how to play
And when you notice it's too late anyway
Cause they change the rules day after day.
Oh I can't believe how far I went
To fine out what teh bell was going on
I'm pretty sure that you must, you must have cross my path
But I missed you I was looking for someone I knew
It's hard to stay awake
When all you wanna do is slip away
So you keep an ear to the ground
Until all your demons come running around
When the sun shines bright
You are looking alright
But you get depressed
When you see your life's a mess
It moves me so when you are down
I'm upside down sad as a clown
The wind is blowing in your hair
Life is not fair
Your conscience's knocking at your door
Who is it for?
Who are your friends?
There's something wrong with them
Who are you then?
Are you the lad insane?
It moves me so when you are down
I'm upside down sad as a clown
And you know I'm not easily moved
When sadness is there it can't be removed
You can't blame it on the weather
I know that it's untrue
Things are made to last forever
With a person like you
It moves me so when you are down
I'm upside down sad as a clown
Wallpaper for the soul
To keep away from the black hole
In my heart there's plenty of room
For everyone to kill the gloom
Don't worry too much about what to say
The words would have come anyway
Follow me
To the house of the free
Wallpaper for the soul
Like the one stole
A long time ago
Wallpaper for the soul
Seeing life through the keyhole
And you don't want to go
A piece of sunshine a piece a of gold
like a secret never told
A piece of sunshine a piece of gold
Wallpaper for the soul
In your heart there's plenty of room
For everyone to kill the gloom
When the sun appears in the sky
When the moon slips away with the dark
You've been awake of a long time
Yes it's true
You're not sleeping like so many others do
Nightime isn't the shelter
It's supposed to be
Especially when you're sad
You ride the mares at night
Even if you don't want to
Even if you don't want to
Will you ever see me
Like a possible lover again?
I am fed up to be
Your twin brother you're not my sister
And everytime
I think of that
I want to...
I wanna say to you
I wanna talk to you
When I look into your eyes
I see a yellow butterfly
When I look into your eyes
I see a yellow butterfly
Flying high in a beautiful
Summer sky
Everytime I look into your eyes
I see a reflection of me
A distorted vision
Of reality
Don't waste your time
Trying to find a meaning
To everything
You might get disappointed
I'd reallylike to experience
Something personal,
Something I would never hear or feel
In someone else's song
I often get the feeling
That there's something missing
Iwish I were that yellow butterfly
Sparkling in your eyes
Don't waste your time
Trying to find a meaning
To everything
You might get disappointed
I think you should know better by now
I think you should know better
In the back of my mind
There are so many things I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know
In the back of my mind
There are so many things I don't want you to know
In the back of my mind
There are so many things I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know...
I think you should know better by now
I think you should know better
I should know better(yellow butterfly)
You should know better (yellow butterfly)
When I look into your eyes...
When I look into your eyes...
When I look into your eyes, eyes
Enough for me is not much for you
Won't you forgive me that's all I can do
Can you feel my heartbeat
When I'm close to you
I'll never find another way to say
I love you more each day
It's quite romantic I know
That's how I wanna feel today...
I wanna feel this way
Can you feel my heartbeat
When I'm close to you
I'll never find another way to say
I love you more each day
It's quite romantic I know
That's how I wanna feel today
I wanna feel this way, today
Can you feel my heartbeat
Can you feel my heartbeat
Can you feel my heartbeat
When I'm close to you
I'll never find, no I'll never find
Another way to say
(originally performed by AR Kane)
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
A love from outer space
It's true oh
I know where she's coming from
Space is where we both belong
Got to tell her in this song
This time nothing can go wrong (X2)
Take a ticket to ride the space express
Meet the girl in the starstruck dress
She trusts me more than I can never guess
I just couldn't wait for her caress
She comes from the milky way
She came to earth for my birthday
We worked out hard to communicate
She said I am not a fake
Shalalalalalala hoo (X4)
She loves me she loves me she loves me
A love from outer space
Here again, I know it's coming
That same old feeling
Those days when you feel like a child again
Leave behind all your worries
There's no time for that, no please
The blue sky over my head
Will get you out of bed
(Chorus)
Get yourself together
Cause we've got to make things happen
While there's still time to do it right
You look better now
No doubt about it
You're even smiling just a little bit
That child-like smile is back on your face
I'll take you on a special journey
Don't ask me where it's brand new to me
The black cloud over your head
Is now on its death bed
(Chorus)
Feels like we live in a movie
It's too good to be true
But don't worry
Cause today, today is the day
When the sun wipes everything away
(Chorus)
The heavy rain
Feels like tears on her face
Waiting for the train
She's leaving for a new place
Cause she and i
Something wasn't right
We were so uptight
She had to say goodbye
She's going to the city
She's going to the city
She's leaving her people
And all her troubles behind
The roses in the garden that she planted long ago
I put them in a vase so i'd get a chance to know
What it was like to live
With someone who could do this
What it was like to live
With someone now she doesn't miss
And yes she's so happy
Like she never thought she could be
She's going to the city, on her runaway train
I didn't know what was going on
Too busy to care about what you were
I call your name but you never answer
You bend you head and run away
If it's not true I wish it were
Cos' we still talk but it's even worse
You don't even dare to look
into my eyes
In the past we used to talk
For so many hours
About things that only
We could understand
Now I wish I could forget all this
By closing my eyes
It never happens this way
Oh it would be too easy
Because there's no easy way out in friendship
Yesterday I dreamt I was
Swimming in a giant beer mug
And that you were trying to
Whisper something in my ear
It never happens this way
Oh it would be too easy
Because there's no easy way out in friendship
There were sometimes when I thought
We could have patched things up
Now I don't know
Things never happen the way
You thought they would happen anyway
So why try to find an easy
Easy way out in friendship
There's no easy, easy way out
Hey keep in mind
There are treasures to be found
And there's an answer to everything
Dream on little one
We're on the run, uh uh uh
Catching the train as it's leaving
Watching the trees turn into a sun of green
Ican see a new day dawning
This is a new beginning
Chorus :
I've been thinking 'bout the good times
And how I thought they'd never end
We've been going through a hard time
I can't wait to start again
I keep thinking about the good times
Feeling like I lost a friend
and we've been having such a hard time
I can't wait to start again
I'll keep it with mine
the vultures all around
Make you fight overr the smallest thing
Dream on little one
And follow the sun, uh uh uh
Running from the rain as it's falling
Watching a cloud exploding in the open sky
We'll stay here hiding and we'll leave in the morning
(hold on to it)
Chorus
Ba-Ba Bababbaba Ba
Didn't know I was falling
Ba-Ba Babababa Ba
Now, I'm climbing up the hill
Ba-Ba Babababa Ba
It's a brand new beginning
Just because you'll always be
Miles ahead of me
I don't see why I shouldn't try
To catch up with you
'Cause in my mind a thousand times or more
I've been there before
There's nothin' I can see
That will stop me, believe me
Our time will come
An' I don't think I will let another chance
Pass me by
Our time will come an' I don't think
I will let another chance
Pass me by
No, I don't want you to get bored
Like you have a thousand times before
Give me some time
Just to show that I am up to it
Our time will come
An' I don't think I will let another chance
Pass me by
Our time will come an' I don't think
I will let another chance
Pass me by
There is something that can be done
To bring us back together as one
There is something else I can do
That's why I'm sending this message to you
I will try another thousand times
To bring us back together as one
I will try another thousand times
Till you decide to change your mind
I will try another thousand times
To bring us back together as one
I will try another thousand times
Can you decide to change your mind?
I will try another thousand times
I will try another thousand times
To bring us back together as one
I will try another thousand times
You taught me how to do
All the things, now you seem
to be a part of me
I know it's just part of the game
To go back and start again,
still it ain't so easy
It's inside me
When, when you're ready to, I'll come up to you
I'll take you for a walk with me
To a place that's not real,
Where we can heal, all the things inside
you and me
All the things inside you and me
It's hard to tell where this road will go
No matter what they say, don't look below
What's going on?
I don't know what is right or wrong
It's hard to tell where this road will go
The other side
Would you like to go back
Before it TURN BLACK
Remember the other side
It's hard to go against the tide
Or walk if your step's behind
You can't make up your tired mind
Could you like to take care
BRING new stars
Close your eyes
Throw one more dart
A king is a LANDSLIDE
And you feel trapped inside
Here comes another day
You are just too tired
anyway
It goes on and on, still
you don't know what to choose
between good and bad
You're not sure what you want to know
What do you want?
Mother take back pains
All the colour is black
If something we shouldn't talk about
What do you want?
Mother take back pains
All the colour is black
If something you shouldn't think about
A king is A LANDSLIDE
And you feel trapped inside
Here comes another day
You are just too tired
anyway
It goes on and on
still
you don't know what to choose
between good and bad
You're not sure what you want to know
And it feels like you lost yourself away
Into the other side
Come on, come on, come on
between good and bad
You're not sure what you want to know
between good and bad
You're not sure what you want to choose
And it feels like you lost yourself away
Into the other side
Soul searching brought me nowhere
Just gave me a scare
I was daydreaming in the night
Something wasn't right
You know it's hard, babe (Make up your mind)
Come on, darling (Don't let me down)
You make me feel lost
Like I'm some kind of
Country boy in Chinatown
I smiled, I shrugged, I acted like a man
Hoping it was all right
Reality came as no surprise
Turned me upside down
You got my letter, babe (Drop me a line)
So come on, darlin' (Don't let me down)
You make me feel lost
Like I'm some kind of
Country boy in Chinatown
Don't let me down
So come on, darlin'
You know it's hard, babe (Make up your mind)
Come on, darling (Don't let me down)
You make me feel lost
Like I'm some kind of
Here comes another day
The bird of prey has finally flown away
I guess I'm doing fine
Though it took me quite a while
Had a hole in my head
Where my thoughts went dead
Had a hole in my heart
That I needed to mend
Couldn't figure out a role to play
I got it all mixed up along the way
That was another day
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I had so many ups and downs
That was, that was, that was yesterday
Here comes, here comes another day
Now that my weary days are done
I feel like telling everyone
Forget about yesterday
Here comes, here comes another day
Now I'm ready to get back in the game
I'm makin' sure the rules are not the same
Do you still want me in your life?
I can't be a man without a wife
Tell me, what do you say?
Here comes another day
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I had so many ups and downs
That was, that was yesterday
Here comes, here comes another day
Now that my weary days are done
I feel like telling everyone
That was, that was yesterday
I'd like to jump from an aeroplane with you
We'll only use one parachute,
would you?
Like a piece of sunshine? *2
I would like some too
I'd like to go to the Meji shrines,
it's true
I'll add a leaf to the “Giant Wish Tree”
For you
Of I had a second chance
I'd do it all different
But still with you
What are we waiting for?
We've got it all but I still want more
So c'mon jump right in ooh ooh
Cause baby this is where we begin
Would you like to come out for a walk with me?
I'd like to show you everything, you see
We could get lost on the way
Go on a holiday and never come back
What are we waiting for?
Just one more step & we're out the door
Time's closing in ooh ooh
Can't you see our plane is waiting
C'mon jump right in ooh ooh
Cause baby this is where we begin
Maybe I didn't strike a chord
I might as well have broken a string
I thought you'd want to sing along
Did you request another song?
What are we waiting for?
We've got it all but I still want more
Time's closing in
Can't you see our plane is waiting
C'mon jump right in
Cause baby this is where we begin
I'd like to go somewhere else with you
You say there'll always be a light
A guiding star in the night
It almost breaks my heart
To see how you tear yourself apart
And when I see you there
I wish I could hold you in my arms
I know your vision will never change
You don't see the need to rearrange
The things that went wrong from the start
And still, every time it breaks my heart
And when I see you there
I wish I could hold you in my arms
And when I see you there
Hey keep in mind
There are treasures to be found
And there's an answer to everything
Dream on little one
We're on the run, uh uh uh
Catching the train as it's leaving
Watching the trees turn into a sea of green
I can see a new day dawning
This is a new beginning
Chorus:
I've been thinking about the good times
And how I thought they'd never end
We've been going through a hard time
I can't wait to start again
I keep thinking about the good times
Feeling like I lost a friend
And we've been having such a hard time
I can't wait to start again
I'll keep it with mine
The cultures all around
Make you fight over the smallest thing
Dream on little one
And follow the sun, uh uh uh
Running from the rain as it's falling
Watching a cloud exploding in the open sky
We'll stay here in hiding and we'll leave in the morning
(hold on to it)
Chorus
Ba-ba Babababa Ba
Didn't know I was falling
Ba-ba Bababa Ba
Now I'm climbing up the hill
Ba-ba Bababa Ba
I never travelled too far
I never caught a shooting star
One day, I almost saw the lights of Hong Kong
But that's not where I belong
Chorus :
Slaloming between the cars
Drinking from an empty jar
I tried to use a different tongue
Before I found where I belong
I just wanted to stay there
Standing at the top of the stairs
I just wanted to stand here
Watching people walk in pairs
Chorus
I'd like to end it here
No one's gonna push me anywhere
I know that I am not wrong
When I say This is where I belong
I thought we felt as one
It was great to be there with you
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
You switched to channel two
I am lost and I don't know what to do
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
It's so hard to tune in
And my love is too much to take
And my love is something that I can't fake
And my heart is about to break
I turn a radio on just to hear the same voice
Coming through my earphones
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
Don't make me feel so bad
I am not a stalker knocking at your door
It's so hard to tune in
When I don't know what you're thinking
It's so hard to tune in
And my love is too much to take
And my love is something that I can't fake
And my heart is about to break
And my love, and my love
And my love is too much to take
And my love is something I can't fake
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
So happy together
And how is the weather?
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Changes are happening
it's too late to turn back
what you had in mid
is turning into something of another kind
changes are happening
all over the place
feels like you were slapped
by a big hand in the face
no need to understand
it's far too late
just let it go
your only choice is to abdicate
changes are happening
it's too late to turn back
changes are happening
the surface begins to crack
what you had in mind
is turning into something of another kind
remember when you were a kid
playing in the yard
no fence was high enough
to stop you moving forward
it's the same situation now
nothing can stop you
just go, go now
just dream anything you want to say
make up the rules for the games you choose to play
just dream anything you ever want to say
make up the rules for the games you choose to play
changes
the truth's right there
right in front of your eyes
you can't pretend it was a big surprise
and don't pretend it was a big surprise
changes
changes are happening now
it's all over the place
what you had in mind
is turning into something of another kind
Making white noise
You t-shirt colletor
Faking your poise
Like so many others
Do it for fun, just throw another ball
Son of a gun, your head's against the wall
Dropping your pose
Another blurred picture
You're smart as a tortoise
Stuck in an elevator
Nowhere to run, just wait for someone to call
Son of a gun, your head's against the wall
Chorus :
Ooh ooh, here you go again
Ooh ooh, shopping for some friends
So you felt a little lonely
Saw the light and joined a band.
So you'd never have to worry
About the big bang at the end.
Hang on to your toys
Beware of the plastic boys,
They're coming at u faster
Faster than an alligator
Look at the sun; how long will it take to fall
Son of a gun, your head's against a wall
Chorus
you think about the past
you never thought you'd fade so fast
Come on, now
Are you ready?
Come on, now
Your life has been too easy
I stole the keys from your dad
Don't be angry at me
He won't even get mad
We'll be back in time, don't you worry
I know
The best is yet to come
I feel it in my bones
This feeling won't last for long
Won't last for long
Come on, now
Are you ready?
Come on, now
Don't you be so easy
I wanna be somebody else
Just for the night
We'll stay together
Until they turn out the city lights
I know
The best is yet to come
I feel it in my bones
This feeling won't last for long
Won't last for long
I know
The best is yet to come
I feel it in my bones
This feeling won't last for long
