THE CORRS- TALK ON CORNERS



ONLY WHEN I SLEEP 


You're only just a dreamboat 
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 
And moving from within 
It clutches at my breast 
But it's only when I sleep 
See you in my dreams 
You 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 its only when I sleep 


And when I wake from slumber 
Your shadow's disappear 
Your breath is just a sea mist 
Surrounding my body 
I'm workin' 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 


It's reaching through my skin 
Movin' from within 
Clutches at my breasts 
But it's only when I sleep.... 


Up to the sky 
Where angels fly 
I'll never die 
Hawaiian High 
In bed I lie 
No need to cry 
My sleeping cry 
Hawaiian High 

WHEN HE'S NOT AROUND  


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 curioity  
He is the living bread that cures my appetite 

Chorus  
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  

Chorus  
Can I keep him in my galaxy  
(Can I keep him in my galaxy)  
Can he live within my fantasy  
(Can he live within my fantasy)  

Chorus  
Can I keep him in my galaxy  
(Can I keep him in my galaxy)  
Can he live within my fantasy  
(Can he live within my fantasy)  

Chorus  (repeat to fade)

WHAT CAN I DO  


I haven't sleep at all in days  
It's been so long since we have talked  
And I have been here many times  
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong  

Chorus  
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 who I just got to let it go  
And who knows I might feel better  
If I don't try and I don't hope  

Chorus  
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 going to let it fly  

Chorus  
Love me... 

I NEVER LOVED YOU ANYWAY  


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 (To that girl)  
I see she's holding you so tender  
Well I just wanna say (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 lay dreaming in an MT bed 
And come to think of it, I was misled  
My flat my my everything and thoughts inside my head  
Before you go I must remember  
To have a quiet word with that girl (With that girl)  
Does she know you're not a spender  
Well I just have to say (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 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 

SO YOUNG  


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  
We were taking it easy  
And bright and breezy, yeah  
We are living it up  
Just fine and dandy, yeah  
And it really does matter that we don't eat  
And it really doesn't matter that we don't sleep  
And it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all  
Cause we were so young now, we are so young, so young now 
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again  
We are chasing the room  
Just running wild and free  
We are following through  
Every dream and every need  
And it really does matter if we don't eat  
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep  
And it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all  
Cos we are so young now, we are so young so young now  
And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again  

Chorus  
And we are so young now, we are so young so young now  
And when tomorrow comes we'll just do it all again  
All again  
All again  
All again  
All again  

Chorus  
We are so young  
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah   (repeat to fade) 

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME  


I've seen this place a thousand times  
I've felt this all before  
And everytime 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  

Chorus  
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 once  
Just thinking of your voice  
And dreaming of your touch is all too much  
You know I don't have any choice  

Chorus  
Yeah yeah yeah  
We've done this once and then you closed the door  
Don't let me fall again for nothing more  

Chorus  (repeat 2x)  
Take it all away  
Or take it all away  

LOVE GIVES LOVE TAKES 


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 

Chorus 
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 hard to explain 
It's crazy but it's happening 
And I'm falling again 
Much farther than I've ever been 
I'm falling deeper than the ocean 
I am lost in this emotion 

Chorus 

Love can give, and love can take away 

Chorus (repeat to fade)

HOPELESSLY ADDICTED 


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 

Chorus 
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 
Cause nothing stays the same 
I know we will survive 

Chorus 
Naturally we acted 

Chorus 
Chemically reacted 
I was loving you all the time 

Hopelessly addicted 
Helplessly attracted 
Chemically reacted 
Naturally we acted 
 

INTIMACY 


Last night before you fell asleep 
You whispered something to me 
Was it just a dream 
I'm gonna listen to you close 
Cause your goodnight kiss 
Felt like a ghost 

What are you trying to say to me 
What are you trying to say 

Chorus 
Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Everybody's hurting for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 

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 you smile 

Baby don't move away fro me 
Baby don't pull away 

Chorus 

Remember when you were a child 
And your momma would hold you in her arms and rockyou to sleep, baby 
Now darling there's just you and I 
Let's give each other everything 

Chorus 
Baby come and lay down next to me 
Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
 

QUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD 


She drove a long way through the night 
From an urban neighbourhood 
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 through he loved her 
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill 
He could never meet her there 

She's never gonnabe 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 on a sidewalk 
Flashing cameras on the scene 
And a shining limousine 

Chorus 

She's beliving in a dream (Queen of Hollywood) 
It's a loaded fantasy 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

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 handprints of her body 
Sad moonbeams in eyes 
Not so innocent a child 

Chorus (repeat 2x) 
She's the queen of Hollywood 
She's the Queen of Hollywood 
And her friends talk on corners 
Yeah... 
She's the Queen of Hollywood

NO GOOD FOR ME 


I see a home in a quite place 
I see myself in a strong embrace 
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 

Chorus 
That I 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 in a quiet home 
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 

Chorus 
No it's no good for me 

It's a make-believe 
You have no idea 

Chorus (repeat 2x)

LITTLE WING 


Now she's walking through the clouds 
With a circus mind that's running wild 
Butterflies and zebras, 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 
It's all right, it's all right, 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 if riding with the win 

When I'm sad she comes to me 
With a thousand smiles she gives to me 
it's all right, it's all right, she says 
Take anything you want from me 

Anything 

Fly little wing... 
Yeah yeah... 

Fly little wing 
Fly little wing
