"And her friends they talk on corners, they could never comprehend"
After its release, songs from this album were to dominate their live set for a long time to come and through the biggest growth period of the band's career. During this album's long reign, they worked solidly with very little time off and gained a lot of exposure with TV appearances and tours. Their next studio album took nearly 3 years to materialise. In between was a live 'unplugged' album which introduced only a handful of new songs. Hence their continuing reliance on existing material, some of which became subject to rearranging or remixing along the way.Songs on the Corrs' Talk on Corners fly inoffensively past the window like scenery on a drive through the countryside, with two pretty singers at the wheel. This essentially Irish sister act (with Corr group Andrea, Caroline, and Sharon on vocals, drums, and violin, respectively, and brother Jim on guitar and keyboards) legitimately brings to mind comparisons with another family-based girl group, Wilson Phillips, particularly since the impulses and instincts are truly pop and not so much alt-traditional Celtic (as they are often cited to be). This timely record documents a high-riding point for the Corrs by re-releasing newly mixed versions of "What Can I Do?" and "So Young," both highly compressed digital productions featuring their trademark glass voices and barely discernible acoustic musical instruments. Also on the record: "Queen of Hollywood," "Runaway," "No Good for Me," and their huge international hit ballad "I Never Loved You Anyway." The best and most spirited Celtic cut is "Little Wing," deliciously resting on the contributions of the dropping-by Chieftains. Each and every cut sounds wired for radio play; unlike the less Americanized, riskier Cranberries, the Corrs should enjoy a career as nicely sustained as some of the girls' best musical notes.

The Corrs Lyrics
Don't Say You Love Me I've seen this place a thousand times I've felt this…
Hopelessly Addicted Opened my eyes today And I knew there's something different…
I Never Loved You Anyway You bored me with your stories I can't believe that I…
Intimacy Hey, yeah, yeah yeah yeah Last night before you fell asleep …
Little Wing Now she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind That…
Love Gives Love Takes Oh yeah, yeah Just when I thought I was safe You found…
No Good for Me I see a home in a quiet place I see…
Only When I Sleep You're only just a dream boat Sailing in my head You swim…
Queen of Hollywood Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, yeah, yeah She drove a long way…
So Young Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah We are…
What Can I Do I haven't slept at all in days It's been so long…
When He's Not Around I can't breathe and I can't sleep He's uncool and unsophist…
