The Past, The Present & The

Tahiti 80 The Past, The Present & The Lyrics
1.Defender

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

It's over, I made up my mind
You won't see me again, again
It's older, after my time
I won't jump back on the train

Don't you know that I've been
Runnin' since I was 16
My feet are just so heavy
That I can't bear to stand

One more look at you
Just so I don't forget
One more look at you
Then I'll let you go

One more look at you
Just so I don't forget
One more look at you
Then I'll let you go

Go back home
I know for sure
Anything can happen
I don't care

Run, run, let's fall in the sea
Run, run, let's fall in the sea


2.Darlin' (Adam & Eve Song)

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

Here it is, she picked it off
In the garden just for me
I can have it now
Or save it for later

Wanna trust her but the head on my shoulders
Cannot tell what's good from bad
I'm pretty sure I could use it
But I don't need another burden to carry

Darlin', I don't want to let you down
But I can't play the game with your rules
Deep down I know I will mess it up
Spend the rest of my days with those blues

Darlin', I know you want it as much
As much as I want it too
Darlin', I know for sure
Pick up the pieces

Asked me to follow her
To a place where we can hide
It's not even begun and it could be fun
But I'm looking for a way out

On the slippery slope but there's still hope
I'll get out of here alive
Sorry, babe, I gotta go
I'm afraid I never ever learned to say no

Darlin', I don't want to let you down
But I can't play the game with your rules
Deep down I know I will mess it up
Spend the rest of my days with those blues

Darlin', I know you want it as much
As much as I want it too
Darlin', I know for sure
Pick up the pieces

You follow traces, see many faces
Give a few kisses, pick up the pieces
You followed traces, see many faces
Get a few kisses, pick up the pieces

Darlin', I don't want to let you down
But I can't play the game with your rules
Deep down I know I will mess it up
Spend the rest of my days with those blues

Darlin', I know you want it as much
As much as I want it too
Darlin', I know for sure
Pick up the pieces

Darlin', I love you
Pick up the pieces
Darlin', I love you
Pick up the pieces
Darlin', I love you
Pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces


3.Gate 33

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

Hey, I think I know who you are
You're some kind of superstar
It's so great to see you again
I'm so glad we're on the same plane

You know I made a movie of you
I really got you looking good, it's true
I love the way you play your guitar
I really love the way you play your guitar

I would like to sit and talk to you for a while
I'm bored to death on this flight
I just might not make sense all the time
'Cause drugs and booze don't always mix so well

I would like to change a thing or two in my life
But you get what you deserve
I know you know, you've heard it all before
Let's get back to you, will you help me kill some time?

Hey, I feel great to be here riding so high
And I think we'll get along just fine
I saw you at Gate 33
No, no, don't think I'm some kind of groupie

So it seems you're all over the place
How do you manage to keep up the pace?
I don't really know who you are
But I love the way you play your guitar

I would like to sit and talk to you for a while
I'm bored to death on this flight
I just might not make sense all the time
'Cause drugs and booze don't always mix so well

I would like to change a thing or two in my life
But you get what you deserve
I know you know, you've heard it all before
Let's get back to you, will you help me kill some time?

Let's make the best of this situation
Ain't got much time before I lose my mind
Let's make the best of this situation
Ain't got much time before I lose my mind

Let's make the best of this situation
Ain't got much time before I lose my mind
Let's make the best of this situation
Before I lose my mind

I would like to sit and talk to you for a while
I'm bored to death on this flight
I just might not make sense all the time
'Cause drugs and booze don't always mix so well

I would like to change a thing or two in my life
But you get what you deserve
I know you know, you've heard it all before
Let's get back to you, will you help me kill some time?


4.Solitary Bizness

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

Won't you dig a little deeper
And overcome the pain in your bleeding fingers?
Who knows, you might find some treasure
Or something strange that belongs to none other

Most of the time, you work hard for nothing
And no one sees or they don't give a damn
No, you don't need the validation
Just scratch the surface then you'll know exactly where you are

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong

Open it up, do you what are you waiting for?
Just skip the first step, take it straight to the next
It'll always be a solitary bizness
But at least it gives you some peace of mind

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong

It's here and you're alone and it's okay
You're doing nothing wrong
It's here


5.Want Some?

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

If you want some
You know I got some
If I want some

What you said
It hit me like a ricochet
I'll enjoy the ride
Another never ending time

I thought it wouldn't last that long
And want you to know
I'll be waiting for a second chance

If I want some
I know you got some
If I want some
It's gonna be with you

If you want some
And you don't know what to do
You know I got some
I'll stay here and wait for you
If I want some
It's gonna be with you

I found out
I could do with less but not without
I can't reach the shore
I'll just have to wait some more

And work hard to keep a high profile
I may change my style
Do what it takes to get a second chance

If I want some
And you don't know what to do
I know you got some
I'll stay here and wait for you
If I want some
It's gonna be with you

If you want some
And you don't know what to do
You know I got some
I'll stay here and wait for you
If I want some
It's gonna be with you

If I want some
If I need some
If I want some
It's gonna be with you


6.Easy

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

I've been lookin' all around
For something to change my mind
Felt like floatin' on the ground
And I wasn't satisfied with what I found

Woke up lookin' like a creep
'Cause I couldn't get no sleep
Snowflakes stirring to sleep
But my heart still beats for something sweet

Come on now, ease the pain
I ain't gonna fall for you again
So why don't you erase my name?
'Cause I won't ever feel the same

Could figure out what it's all about
I won't be there to hold you tight
Make a turn on the next runabout
Following the signs inside your mind

Yes, I've been here before
It's not gonna be like before
Yes, we've been here before
But I'm not gonna take it no more

Come on now, ease the pain
I ain't gonna fall for you again
So why don't you erase my name?
'Cause I won't ever feel the same

I'm sorry, I'm just different from you
I can't give you more than you want me to
My life is near the end, you know it too

Come on now, ease the pain
Things will never be the same
Come on now, ease the pain
I ain't gonna fall for you again

So why don't you erase my name?
'Cause I won't ever feel the same
'Cause I won't ever feel the same

Come on now, ease the pain
I ain't gonna fall for you again
So why don't you erase my name?
'Cause I won't ever feel the same

Come on now, ease the pain


7.The Past, The Present & The Possible

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

I heard about your dad
How they shot him in the head
I know you made it through
But you're not the same

I felt so sick when I watched
The news report on TV
I couldn't help thinking
What if that was me?

And I knew it would stay for a while
But the picture is here all the time
And I thought it would stay for a while
But it's stuck in my mind all the time

You never see what's coming
Look where you belong now
You wake

You didn't see it coming
Look where you belong now
You wake up one morning
And all you ever had is gone

You never see what's coming
Look what you've become now
You wake up one morning
And all you ever had is gone

Gone
Gone
Gone

Why don't you stop diggin' your own hole?
Let's get out for the day
Walk past the old house where the dark mark's
Teasing him on the way

And if he gets out of there
He'll be running for a while
And if he comes after us
We'll find a place to hide


8.Nightmares

Lyricist:Xavier Andre Marie Boyer, Pedro Carlos Da Silva-resende,
Mederic Charles Denis Gontier, Sylvain Edmond Marcel Marchand

I won't say a word about my nightmares
'Cause I'm scared I could pass them on to you
I just need to tidy up my mind
So they can hide where they can't be found

If I talk, you'll turn my stories upside down
And read the signs where there's nothing to see
You can keep the rest all for yourself
But I'll keep mine like a book on the shelf

I'll write you a letter, send you a picture
When there's a change in the weather
I'll, sooner or later, see everything clearer
When I feel a little better

I don't know if you can wait for a while
If you've been hurt and it might take some time
I ain't runnin' away, I'm just goin' underground
But one day, I'll come back around

I'll write you a letter, send you a picture
When there's a change in the weather
I'll, sooner or later, see everything clearer
When I feel a little better
When I feel a little better

It's only a nightmare, don't you worry
It's only a nightmare, don't you worry
It's only a nightmare, don't you worry
It's only a nightmare, don't you worry
It's only a nightmare, don't you worry
It's only a nightmare

I'll write you a letter, send you a picture
When there's a change in the weather
I'll, sooner or later, see everything clearer
When I feel a little better

When I feel a little better
When I feel a little better
When I feel a little better
