THE CORRS

UNPLUGGED

1. 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
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 shadows 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
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
It's only when I sleep

Only when I sleep

It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
And clutches at my breasts

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

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die

Only when I sleep.

2. WHAT CAN I DO

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, 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
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

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
Just tell me what to do
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 would I change to make you feel this
What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to get you there

And love me... love me...
Love me... (8 x).

3. RADIO

It's late at night
And I'm feeling down
There're couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds

So I step inside
Pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for something to occupy my mind

But you are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever

So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
Listen to the
So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go

Now it's morning light
And it's cold outside
Caught up in a distant dream
I turn and think that you are by my side

So I leave my bed
And I try to dress
Wandering why my mind plays tricks
And fools me into thinking you are there

But you're just in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Not lying in my bed
Just swimming forever

So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
Listen to the
So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go

I listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
Listen to the
I listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Remember how we used to go

You are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever
Swimming forever
Swimming forever

So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
Listen to the
So listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Remember where we used to go

I listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
And all the songs we used to know, oh, oh
Listen to the
I listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
To all the songs
All the songs we used to know
Listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
All the songs we used to know
Listen to the radio
Listen to the
Listen to the radio
Listen to the
Listen to the radio.

Instrumental

5. RUNAWAY

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you
I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too
And I would runaway
I would runaway, yeah... yeah
I would runaway
I would runaway with you

'Cause I... have fallen in love
With you, no never have
I'm never gonna stop fallin' in love, with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight, candlelight make love to me through the night
Through the night, through the night
'Cause I have runaway, yeah

I have runaway with you

Because I... have fallen in love

I'm never gonna stop fallin' in love with you

With you

Runaway (11 x)
With you.

6. FORGIVEN NOT FORGOTTEN

All alone, staring on, watching her life go by
When her days are grey and her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one eyed furry toy
That lies upon the bed has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven
But not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten

A bleeding heart torn apart and left on an icy grave
In the room where they once lay, face to face
Nothing could get in their way, but now the memories of the man
Are haunting her days and the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven
But not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten

Still alone, staring on, wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven
But not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, you're not forgotten.

7. AT YOUR SIDE

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

If life's standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes
Make mistakes
You can't let me down
Let me down
I will still believe
Still believe
I will turn around

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go
'Cause I'm right there
I'll be at your side, I'll be right there for you
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go
'Cause I'm at your side

I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you, yeah
I'm right at your side.

8. LITTLE WING

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.

9. NO FRONTIERS

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby, born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers and I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
And your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its ways
And heaven has its ways
When all will harmonise
And you know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes.

10. 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 though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfil
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
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
Queen of Hollywood

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She's believing in a dream
Queen of Hollywood,
It's a loaded fantasy, 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 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
Queen of Hollywood
She's the Queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood
Her friends still talk on corners
Yeah yeah yeah

She's the Queen of Hollywood.

11. OLD TOWN

The girl's a fool, she broke the rule, she hurt him hard
This time he will break down
She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard, she plays it tough
But that's enough the love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end he'll soon recover
Romance is over

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down

I've been spending my money
In the old town
It's not the same honey
With you not around
I've been spending my time
In the old town
I sure miss you honey
Now you're not around
You're not around
This old town

Ola

This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crackin' up
This boy has broke down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Bright, breezy, yeah

Just fine, dandy, yeah

We are calling a haze on this lazy summer days
And spending all of the nights just laughing, kissing, yeah

14. EVERYBODY HURTS

When your day is long
And the night
And the night is yours alone
When you think you've had enough of this life
Well, hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts

Sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night
Hold on, hold on
If you feel like letting go
Hold on
If you're sure you've had too much of this life
Hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Sometimes
Take comfort in your friends
And everybody hurts

Don't blow your hand
Oh, no
Don't blow your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
And the days and nights are long
If you're sure you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Yet, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
Sometimes, everybody hurts

Sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
'Cause no, you're not alone.
