THE CORRS - TALK ON CORNERS (1999)
You're only just a dream boat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm working through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
But it's only when I sleep
It's reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
But it's only when I sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian high
I can't breathe, I can't sleep
He's uncool an unsophisticat
He's a tightrope walker on an open path
He's a maze of curiosity
He is the living bread that cures my appetite
I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Everyday is bluey grey
When he's not in town
His mystique is one of innocence
I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes
And I would be preening in paradise
If I were always beside him like a Siamese
I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Everyday is bluey grey
When he's not in town
When he's not in town
Can I keep him in my galaxy
Can he live within my fantasy
I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Everyday is bluey grey
When he's not in town
When he's not in town
I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Everyday is bluey grey
When he's not in town
When he's not in town
Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound, of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, yeah, what you had, and what you lost
Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
And women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me that wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, yeah what you had, yeah
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Yeah, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You will know
You will know
I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna to let it fly
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to get you there
What can I do to make you care
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I do to make you care
What can I change to make you feel this
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to get you there
What can I do to make you care
Love me
Love me
Love me
You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over, I'm only sorry
That I didn't make the move before you
And when you go I will remember
To send a thank you note to that girl
I see she's holding you so tender
Well I just wanna say
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad you're moving away
Valentino I don't think so
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an MT bed
And come to think of it
I was misled
My flat my food my everything
And thoughts inside my head
Before you go I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
Does she know you're not a spender
Well l just have to say
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away
Yeah, I am
Yeah, I am
And when you go I will remember
I must remember to say
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
No, I didn't love you anyway
Never truly loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away
Yeah, I'm delighted you're moving away
We were taking it easy
Bright and breezy, yeah
And we are living it up
Just fine and dandy, yeah
We are caught in a haze
On these lazy summer days
We're spending all of our nights just
A laughing and kissing, yeah
And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter that we never sleep
It really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all
Coz we were so young then, we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again
We are chasing the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream and every need
And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter that we never sleep
No, it really doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
Cause we were so young then, we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again
Yeah we are so young now, yeah, so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again, all again
Yeah, all again
Yeah we are so young now, yeah, so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes, we'll just do it all again
Yeah we are so young now
We are so young
Yeah, we are so young
I've seen this place a thousand times
I've felt this all before
And every time you call
I've waited there as though you might not call at all
I know this face I'm wearing now
I've seen this in my eyes
And though it feels so great I'm still afraid
That you'll be leaving anytime
We've done this once and then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more
Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
I've caught myself smiling alone
Just thinking of your voice
And dreaming of your touch is all too much
You know I don't have any choice
Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
We've done this once and then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more
Don't say you love me unless forever
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
Don't tell me you need me if you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
Take it all away
Or take it all away
Just when I thought I was safe
You found me in my hiding place
I'd promised never again
I wouldn't give my heart, but then
Closer, closer I moved near you
The way I want you makes me fear you
Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away
I find it hard to explain
It's crazy but it's happening
And I'm falling again
Much further than I've ever been
I'm falling deeper than the ocean
I am lost in this emotion
Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away
Ahh oh yeah
Ahh oh yeah
Ahh oh yeah
Love can give
And love can take away
Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
love can make you cry I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away
Love breaks and love divides
Love laughs and love can make you cry
I can't believe the ways
That love can give
And love can take away
Opened my eyes today
And I knew there's something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie
I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
I'll make a wish this day
And I'll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay
Entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Coz nothing stays the same
I know we will survive
I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
I was so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Naturally we acted
I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling
I was so blind
I was loving you all the time
And now I'm
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
I was loving you all the time
Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted
Yeah, oh
Instrumental
Last night before you fell asleep
You whispered something to me
Was it just a dream
I'm gonna listen to you close
Coz your goodnight kiss
Felt like a ghost
What are you trying to say to me?
What are you trying to say?
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey yeah, yeah, yeah
We come into this world alone
From the heart of darkness
The infinite unknown
We're only here a little while
And I feel safe and warm
When I see your smile
Baby don't move away from me
Baby don't pull away
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Remember when you were a child
And your momma would hold you in her arms
And rock you to sleep
Now darling there's just you and I
Let's give each other everything, baby baby
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Baby come and lay down next to me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey yeah, yeah yeah yeah
She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend
But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's believing in a dream
Queen of Hollywood
It's a loaded fantasy
Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child
She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood
No she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's the Queen of Hollywood and
Her friends still talk On Corners
She's the Queen of Hollywood
I see a home in a quiet place
I see myself in a strong embrace
And I feel protection from the human race
It's not parental
But it's a fantasy, not a reality
And it's no good, no, no good for me, you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
You have a home
You have a home, in a quiet place
And someone else feels your strong embrace
She is protected and she needs no chase
And do you love her?
You're a mystery, you are the heart of intrigue
You're no good, no, no good for me
That you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
No it's no good for me, no good for me
It's a make-believe, you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move close to me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good, no, no good for me
Through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move close to me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good, no good for me
Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me, free
It's alright, it's alright, she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, it's alright, she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly little wing, yeah, yeah
Fly little wing
I want her to fly
