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 Things would be better
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, Sensations, sensations, and money
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 Do you like being at the fun fair?
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
" 당신의 마음이 집이라고 상상해 보세요. 음악은 당신의 삶에 색을 부여하고 장식하는 방법이예요."- Xavier Boyer 여기 눈을 잡아두는 커버의 앨범 한 장이 있다. 발매한지는 한달 남짓밖에 되지 않았지만 이미 상당수의 국내팬들에게 입소문으로 알려진 상태이고 수입도 되어 쉽게 구할 수도 있게 되었다. 2년 전 상큼한 민트향을 한아름 안겨주었던 타히티 80(Tahiti 80)이 또 하나의 예쁜 선물 꾸러미를 들고 다시 찾아온 것이다.프랑스 음악 방송에서 매일같이 의 뮤직 비디오가 흘러나왔을 때 그보다 더 맹렬한 애정을 보인 것은 일본이었다. 앨범 발매 당시 타워 레코드에서 쇼케이스를 가졌을 때의 무덤덤했던 반응이 마치 거짓말처럼 타히티 80은 일본에서의 사랑을 한 몸에 받게 되었고 그 싱그러운 바람은 ...
