"Corrina"
[verse 1]
Corrina, a stunner
The winter, is over
Send pictures, with captions
For comfort, oh Corrina
[chorus 1]
If on your own you needn't look far for help
There's love for you but not for any one else
is there...Corrina
[verse 2]
Corrina, is healing
Open up your heart for a beating
The jilted partner
Confounded sense of alarming
[chorus 2]
It's easier for you to hold out hope
That for one of these days he'll throw you down the rope,
but will he... Corrina
[verse 3]
Distraction, you're after
Cassandra calls out disaster
You should listen, to her
It'll end up hurting others
[chorus]
If all you want is time to talk things through
I'm fine with that if its what you want to do,
don't worry...Corrina

What I Want, What I Need

"What I Want's Not What I Need"
[verse 1]
So you've stopped trying to think of ways of getting through to me
Cause I know they would have broken through by now.
If you stuck for ideas, just sit down and prick your ears cause there are many that I may have jotted down.
[verse 2]
I hear the nights roll by so much quicker since the last thought you had perished, not to be retrieved.
But when he asks you if you've felt this good before, does the topic soon recede, quicker than the Concorde?
[chorus]
(Ahhhhhs)
[verse 3]
As it happens there may be a reservation in the tank, or a spark when colliding in the street
But the resultant blast shimmers, and the mindset starts to linger like a broadcast, littered with repeats
[verse 4]
All the time you spent eyeballing those stagnant cups of tea
Seems like I'm the only one to find it funny
Cause we're equipped to always heed to what we want not what we need and it is that thought that has always bothered me
You slot succinctly into both categories Ahhh.
[chorus]
(Ahhhhhs)

"Cheshire"
[verse 1]
No I will not take the bait
But those Cheshire looks that are forming on your face
They are looking to incriminate
Can't you please elaborate the point you make
[verse 2]
Or just carry on grinning away
It's not me your fooling, although I may be to blame
And your looking to intimidate
I bet that you can't wait to wipe that smile off my face ohhhh
[chorus]
They say its the simple things that can be the most destructive
Well that kind of thinking isn't very productive
I'm betting that it won't be this way for too long
But I'm struggling to see what's going on and know what's going wrong with you.
[verse 3]
And I know you think that you do
But your contemplation has put me in a miserable mood
And the crowd have turned up for the books
Disheveled mass of people, with quizzical looks
[verse 4]
I know, I could have dealt with it in many different ways
But the conversation was moving into hazardous terrain
And the mention of her name
Brought about the final push across my palisades
[bridge]
Black lines fall from under both eyes
She's taken in by the green eyed guru's advice
Pacing round the floor,
Cannot see the humor anymore
Although, well I might, be looking into behaving tonight
[end verse]
No I know this cannot wait
Cause those Cheshire looks are turning into pain
And I cannot hope to compensate
Can't you please liberate
The mistakes I've made for you.
