Fundamental Happiness

(Music: Rory and Corinnasings/Lyrics: Corinnasings)

Tell me

how could this be  - ever any different

You took your chance - let it slip

So what, if I still react

This is just a game

 

Not to worry about me

It‘s just a game

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamental lonelyness

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamental lonelyness


Tell me when you’ve come to understand that we are not the same

You want it all and you have none

I’ve let you walk

There’s more to life than proving a point

This is just a game

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamentally me

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamentally me

 

What’s the big deal

How have you been?

Concerned with constant comparison?

 

I‘ve learned that you don’t respect me

The sky is the limit

(This is just a game)

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamental happiness

 

This is fundamental

This is fundamental

Fundamental happiness

 

 

Lucky Numbers

(Music: Rory and Corinnasings/Lyrics: Corinnasings)

Came to reclaim what’s mine

It slipped my mind and

Made me return to that place in my head

In my head

Can’t tell you how

Can’t tell you how

I broke this spell

(I broke this spell)

Forgot the number of my luck

Ieft it behind and

didn’t return to this – this dark place

this dark place

Can’t tell you how

Can’t tell you how

I broke this spell

(I broke this spell)

Came to reclaim it

But they would not let me in

They all said

There was nothing  there  for me

There was nothing there for me

You cannot let it rest,  this time

And that’s what shows me that

It has found its way  - all back to me

All back to me

Can’t show  you how

Can’t show  you how

I broke this spell

I broke this spell

Rules are for Fools

(Music / Lyrics: Corinnasings)

 

Take your time

Know your pros and cons

Make a list

Hang it up on your wall

 

Frame that decision

Your world is

black and white

Right and wrong

black and white

Right and wrong

 

Grey never was your favourite colour

Grey never was your favourite colour

 

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

I don’t see any direction to go from here

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

 

You know your way around

Screw that map

Rules are for fools - anyway

What’s the name of that street again?

 

Grey never was your favourite colour

Grey never was your favourite colour

 

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

I don’t see any direction to go from here

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

 

Woke up this morning and

Tossed your shirt

I weighed my pros and cons

I’m off and I like grey

 

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

I don’t see any direction to go from here

You cannot walk around without a trace of a doubt

I like grey

I like grey

I   like    grey


A Song

(Music / Lyrics: Corinnasings)

 

This is a song I want to sing

This is a song I want you to hear

This is a song – nothing sophisticated

It’s just me trying to pick

Trying to pick

Pick up the pieces

 

This is a song about me and you

Uuuuu

Go to hell

Uuuuu

Go to hell

 

This is a song I want to sing

This is a song I want you to hear

It’s just a song – nothing sophisticated

It’s just me trying to pick

Trying to pick

Pick up the pieces

 

This is a song about me and you

Uuuuu

Go to hell

Uuuuu

Go to hell


Endlessly Determined

(Music: Corinnasings, Lyrics: A Gift from a friend)

 

In all its glory

fall is apt to seem

as if it were sorry

for us

 

Endlessly determined

delicate white skin

Endlessly determined

delicate white skin

 

Comme nous ne savons rien de rien

Comme nous ne savons rien de rien

 

Bitter-sweet about this season

we err with quite no reason

we’ll never do it justice

for it’s so much more than just this

 

Comme nous nous souvenons jamais

Comme nous nous souvenons jamais

 

I remember light guesses buzzing high above me

above fall’s vast and confident fume

hundreds of impressions whose names I never knew

pursuing mysterious aims, concerned with me—above all

 

Comme nous n’y arrivons pas

Comme nous n’y arrivons pas

 

An ideal season should always have

an illusion of one love affair

desire in May

fervour in June

a blissful summer

a farewell in fall

 

Endlessly determined

delicate white skin,

Endlessly determined

delicate white skin,

 

She’s able to persuade

even the inconsolable

fall may well be

worth enduring

 

Si jamais

si jamais

 


The Diplomat

(Music / Lyrics: Corinnasings)

 

Never said that I’ll behave – walk out with a nod

Never criticize - leaving you uncomfortable too

Tired of that compromise, while I keep the balance

Walk the rope watch you dance –

while I carry the world on my shoulders

 

Tired of seeing it both ways

Right through the eyes of a diplomat

Tired of thinking about the plus the minus

Negotiating what used to be

Will become possibly and then again probably not

Probably not


What do you say? Is it gonna go my way?

(are you gonna)

Let me down all the way - The way

Let me frown all the way - The way

 

Never said that I’ll be brave – All so confident

Sure of myself, clear on the way to go

Geographically skilled

I’m tired of that strange advice  -

Keeping the good karma

Avoiding a fight

But then again not quite for me

 

Tired of looking at both sides

Right through the eyes of a democrat

Tired of thinking about the plus the minus

Negotiating what used to be

Will become possibly and then again probably not

Probably not

 

What do you say? Is it gonna go my way?

Let me down all the way

The way

Let me drown all the way

The way

 

Tired of seeing it both ways

Right through the eyes of a diplomat

Tired of thinking about the plus the minus

Negotiating what used to be

Will become possibly and then again probably not

Probably not

 

Did I just hear you say – yes it’s gonna go your way

It’s gonna go my way
