Corinne Lyrics

Oh Corinne
I've got a pain in my heart
I think it's because of you
'Cause they kicked me out of the forces
When I laid a hand on you

Oh Corinne
I'd take this pain in my heart
For just one night with you
If they'd let me back in the forces
And I could lay my hand on you

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I-I-I-I I've got my heart tied up,
I've got my heart in a bind
She just wants to dance all the time

I've got my heart tied up,
I've got my heart in a bind
She just wants to dance all the time

I've got my heart tied up,
I've got my heart in a bind
She just wants to dance all the time

I've got my heart tied up,
I've got my heart in a bind
She just wants to dance all the time

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I've got my heart tied up
Now with the boom and the bang
I'm not gonna fire you again

I think that "Corinne" is actually a gun, but can also be interpreted as a girl.

I've got my heart tied up Now with a boom and a bang I'm not gonna fire you again.

Firing "Corinne" could be the reason he was kicked out of the forces. It could also represent the reason that "Corinne" and him broke up, he might have treated her badly or smothered her with attention, and he's now saying he wont treat her this way anymore.

My Interpretation

@Protoboat I really like this idea but it doesn't make much sense with the lines, "I'd take this pain in my heart, for just one night with you" and "She just wants to dance all the time".

I think this song is about an emotionally abusive relationship he was in "the forces" and they took him out i think the "boom and a bang" refers to when the relationship got physical and he hit her by accident and that's why they took him out of the forces

he's depressed he regrets what he did and wants things to go back to the way they were he's trying to apologize and try again but she's being agressive i.e "I'm not gonna fight you again" she's not listening

She just wants to dance all the time

I think this means she just "dancing" around his pleas for another chance like she's distracting away from what he's trying to tell her

This is just my interpretation though

@Bencivze I think you're spot on.

Was thinking the 'gun' interpretation was daft at first but on repeat listening, it is beginning to sound like,

'I'm not gonna FIRE you again'

Who knew!

I think this is a song about a guy who abused sexually a girl who was in the military with him.
