Breakin' Loose
It was the typical blues, it was more bad news
I was walkin' down a dirty street
Saw a man, I knew some years before
On the corner where the losers meet
He had rags on his back, as a matter of fact
Had a cold look on his face
He was standin' in line, groanin' words to the kind
As I passed I could hear him say, he said......
Don't live your life by the dollar sign
Live life to the limit, that's the bottom line
No guarantees what tomorrow will bring
Be the best at what you are, it's all a little insane>
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Professional man, had the world in his hands
He arrived in the finest cars
He posted up his lifetime success
Every night at his favorite bar
He got off the track, he never looked back
He's an upper class renegade
Now he ain't got a dime, just his peace of mind
And he knows that he's got it made
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
That's enough, It's time to go through
Breakin' loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
The house on the hill, in a financial noose
Breakin' loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy

All Hells Breakin Loose
Street hustler comes up to me one day
And Im walkin down the street, mindin my own business
Now he looks me up and he looks me down and says
Hey man, what be this and what be that and why you gotta look like that?
Well I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said
Hey man, I am cool, I am the breeze
Havent you heard, theres a new revolution
Gotta spread the word - too much confusion
All hells breakin loose - hey hey have you read the news
All hells breakin loose - overloadin n blowin my fuse
All hells breakin loose - day and night, baby, night and day
All hells breakin loose - in the streets theres a brand new way, yeah
You know we aint always winners, but this is the life we choose
And we wont change or rearrange, and we aint never ever gonna lose
It aint always easy when the goin gets rough
When youre gettin even, you gotta show your stuff - tell about it now
Take a look around, only one solution
Set the world on fire, fight the institution
Gonna stand our ground, feel the new sensation
Somethings goin down - rock the nation
All hells breakin loose - hey hey, have you read the news
All hells breakin loose - overloadin n blowin my fuse

Breakin Up Is Breakin My Heart
Roy orbison
I wonder why you threw your diary away
When you walk by I nearly died what can I say
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
Now were apart ,breakin up is breakin my heart
I find myself alone at night and then I cry
No tenderness my happiness just said goodbye
Now youre gone, Im alone I wonder why we had to part
Breakin up is breakin my heart, baby
Breakin up is breakin my heart
The love affair we used to share is cold and still
I loved you then I love you now I always will
The day that you found someone new
My lonely world just fell apart
Out of your arms drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up is breakin my heart
Baby, breaking up is breakin my heart
Breakin up is breakin my heart
Breakin up is breakin my heart

Stop Breakin' Down
Everytime I'm walkin', down the streets,
some pretty mama she starts breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, yes stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo,
it'll make you lose your mind.
Now, you Saturday night women's, you love to ape and clown,
you won't do nothin' but tear good man (i.e Jack White) reputation down
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo,

Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down

Breakin Up
Now every once in a while
Theres a crack in my smile
Dark voices are talking to me
Dark voices tell me the way
Its supposed to be
They said breakin up
They said its hard to do
But what they say
About breakin up
Yknow its just not true
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Why if you know
Why did you have to go
And leave me on t he floor
About as sick as a dog
Im feeding my face
Like a bleary-eyed hog
Whyd it have to stop
With so much good undone
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Breakin up, its easy to do
Yknow I break up every time
I break up with you

Why Cant I Have You
(over? , all over? , all over? , all over? )[throughout]
A dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
Ah breathless hush, poundin soft, lasting
Oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
Carousel, up and down
Just like you
Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
Youre on my mind
Baby, why cant I have you?
Youre breakin my heart in two
You know what Im goin through
Oh baby, why cant I have you?
Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
Your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
Oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
Oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night
Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
Im not so blind
Baby, why cant I have you?
Always breakin my heart in two
You know what Im goin through
Uh oh baby, why cant I have you?
(baby) oh baby (why cant I have you? ) why cant I have you?
You know what Im goin through
(youre breakin my heart in two)
Youre breakin my heart, breakin my heart

(baby) oh baby (why cant I have you? ) I need you

Youre breakin my heart (youre breakin my heart in two)
Oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch

Breakin Away
Written by t. ackerman, m. percy & t. lever
Breakin away
Breakin away
Its hard leaving
Walking away from someone just to start again
We are ever needing
Keeping that someone to care just to give us strength
So as life changes with every day
We got to move forward
Theres got to be a better way
Start over with every chance
I will be there
Now Im breakin away (breakin away)
All I needed was time and room to grow
I got something to say (breakin away)
Now I know I can make it on my own
Now Im breakinaway (yeah, yeah)
Its hard giving
Giving out all that youve got when theres no return
When you find youre living
Living for everyone else theres so much to learn
So as life changes with every day
We got to move forward
Theres got to be a better way
Start over with every chance
I will be there
Now Im breakin away (breakin away)
All I needed was time and room to grow
I got something to say (breakin away)
Now I know I can make it on my own
Now Im breakinaway (yeah, yeah)
Seems like Ive waited
Seems like its taken forever (just to break free)
It feels like Ive wasted my life
Now that were not together.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Dont take your love
Away from me
Dont you leave my heart
In misery
If you go
Then Ill be blue
Cause breakin up is hard to do
Remember when
You held me tight
And you kissed me
All through the night
Think of all
That we been through
Breakin up is hard to do
They say that brekin up
Is hard to do
Now I know, I know
That its true
Dont say that this is the end
Instead of breakin up
I wish that we were makin up again
I beg of you
Dont say good-bye
Cant we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin up is hard to do
I beg of you
Dont say good-bye
Cant we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new

Breakin' Promises
She's two-faced
She's breakin' promises left and right
But I guess that's all life is
Breakin' promises left and right
And learning how to cope
Learning how to just deal
When your best friend is two-faced
Sweet-talking you to your face
Then turning around and breakin' promises
To you, not them
Them meaning people, not her friends
Acting their opposite role in life
And you realize you'll always be there for her
but they won't
She's two-faced
She's breakin' promises left and right

Spinning Around
Written: paula abdul, osborne, bingham, kara dio guardi, ira shickman
Spinning around
Oooh-oh
Im spinning around
Move out of my way
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it like this
Im breakin it down
Im not the same
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it like this
Clearin this house out of joy that I borrowed
From back in the day
Threw away my old clothes
Got myself a better wardrobe
I got something to say
Im through with the past
Aint no point in looking back
The future will be
And did I forget to mention that I found a new direction
And it leads back to me?
Im spinning around
Move out of my way
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it like this
Im breakin it down
Im not the same
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it
Mistakes that I made givin me the strength
To really believe
And no matter how I take it
Theres no way Im gonna fake it cuz its gotta be real
Ive got nothin left to hide
No reason left to fight
cuz the truths given me a new freedom inside
Gettin rid of my desire
Do you like what you see?
Im spinning around
Move out of my way
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it like this
Im breakin it down
Im not the same
I know youre feelin me cuz you like it like this
Ooh-oh baby, baby, baby
You know you like it like this
Ooh-oh baby, baby, baby
You know you like it like this
Ooh-oh baby, baby, baby

Fast Train
Transcribed from a live performance on february 26, 2000 at the barbican in york, england. the first performance of this new song.
When you been on a fast train
And its goin off the rails
And you cant come back together again
You just start breakin down
In the pourin rain
Cause you been on a fast train
When your love has gone away
Dont it make you feel so sad
And you know Im returnin
Way into the land
And you start breakin down
And go into the pain
Cause you been on the fast train
You had to go on the lam
Cross into no mans land
Aint nobody here on your wavelength
And nobody gonna give you a helpin hand
You just start breakin down
And just go into the sun
When you hear that fast train
And you keep movin along
To the sound of the wheels
Deep inside your heart you really know
You know just how it feels
And you start breakin down
And the deserts reign on the fast train
Youre way over the line
This time youre out of your mind
This time youre out of your depth
And to the window you crack open
Oh but theres nowhere to go
Theres only sleet and theres snow
Keep on movin on a fast train
You hear theyre goin over the line
Oh standin on the edge of the hill
Oh nobody on their wavelength
Nobody to give you a helping hand
And you start breakin down
When you hear the sound
Keep on movin on a fast train
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Fast train
Going nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
To the wasteland
To the wasteland
On a fast train
On a fast train
On a fast train
Im goin nowhere
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
On a fast train

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
And if I need some of your love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around Ill smile again
Shouldnt be soom compilcated
Just hold me and then
Oh, just hold me again
Can, you help me

Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Keep breakinme in
And this is how we live
With you and me........

If I couldnt sleep
Could you sleep
Could paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs

But Im jaded
Just phoning it in
Oh,just breakin my skin

Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Keep breakin me in
And this is how we will live
With you and me.......

Til I feel all your pieces
Start bending me

Couldn't taste the taste that I was tastin'
Couldn't hear the waste that I was makin'
Tired of the life I was facin'
Couldn't tell one from another
Couldn't hide a secret from my mother
Any other mother wouldn't bother
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
Got me on the porch I'm in the front row
Says "shit's for real man" like I don't know
Get your punk ass back to the dog show...
Makin' time breakin' ground
Sail brown bay to chocolate town
A new breath I feel the grip releasin'
Scraping my guts off of the ceiling
I've got that sunny bunny feeling

It Hurts

Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Its all a matter of trust, admit it
You cant take it if youre lyin down
Your eyes open with the talk of commitment
Gotta tell you girl, its breakin my heart
Has been right from the start
Im feelin alone, its takin my breath away
And while Ill admit that its out of control
All by myself, I just fade away
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made
Breakin my heart, you come round every day
Somethin for nothin, it turns out that way, and it hurts
Another night, another bad situation
At this moment, I cant tell you why
Its all true, you go back in your position
Ill say it straight girl, youre breakin my back
I turn right round that track, Im headin for home
Its takin my breath away
I never lost sight from the moment we touched
Baby I saw it, I just looked away
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made
Breakin my heart, you come round every day
Somethin for nothin, it turns out that way
It hurts, yeah, when you play the fool
It hurts when you fall in love, huh
It hurts, itll break you in two
It hurts you when youve had enough, alright
Ooh yeah, this could go on forever
Until theres no one to blame baby
We all make mistakes, tell the truth girl
Its breakin my heart
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, if it turns you on
Spin me round, yeah you got it made
Turn me round, dont walk away
Tie me down, cause it turns you on
Spin me round, you got it made

It Must Be Imagination
by Kenny Loggins & Tom Snow
When the feeling isn't right
They say you see it in a lovers eye
But I'm wide awake tonight
'N I'm looking for a reason why
It doesn't show
Still somehow I know
Tell me that it just ain't so
Say I made the whole thing up
It must be imagination
Why can't I forget it
God, you'd think I'd know better
It must be imagination
Gone completely out of my mind
It must be imagination
Tearin' me apart
'N breakin' my heart
You can say what is real
You can tell me if I'm in a dream
'Cause I know what I feel
But I don't know what to believe
Turn on the night light
Even if it takes us all night
I gotta be sure by daylight
If I've made this whole thing up
It must be imagination
Tell me if I'm right
'Cause it's changing my life
It must be imagination
Everybody knows
There ain't no way to fight it
It must be imagination
Breakin' my heart
'N tearing me apart
If I'm only dreamin'
Then I'm cryin' in my sleep
You should be shakin' me
Why ain't you wakin' me up?
It must be imagination
God I must be losin' my mind
It must be imagination
Does anybody know
Is there anyway to fight it?
It must be imagination
All in my mind, all in my mind
It must be imagination
If you wanna go, I just got to know
It must be imagination
Oooh tell me what's the problem
Why you wanna go on breakin' my heart?

God Walks Among Us Now
(jesus song no. 6)
How does it feel to be breakin apart
Breakin down molecules
How does it feel to out of control
Another ring around this ball
Used to be all right
But things got strange
How does it feel to be fallin apart
Sinkin from the bottom down
Its not so easy holdin it up
With everything fallin down
Used to be all right
But things got strange
Used to take all night
But thingsve changed and God walks among us now
Used to be all right
But things got strange
Used to be uptight
But thingsve changed and God walks among us now
How does it feel to be fallin apart
With everything breakin down
How does it feel to be fallin apart
Imagine how holdin on

Nowhere Fast
Its getting cold, its getting dark, the nights are longer every day
The air is heavy and the clouds will never burn away
And weve been waitin here so long that weve forgotten what its like
To turn into the fire, lookin straight into the, straight into the light
Bridge:
Your heart is tryin to rock but it can barely beat at all
Your soul is tryin to run but all your body does is crawl
You dont need any signal, you dont need any sign
Nothins gonna stop you once you cross over the line
I wanna tear it all apart and take the clothes right off your back
Were tearin down the highway and were breakin away, breakin away
Breakin away, were breakin away from the pack
Were breakin away from the pack
And if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And even if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And your speed is all youll ever need, all youll ever need to know
Chorus:
You and me were goin nowhere slowly and we gotta get away from the past
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Everybodys goin nowhere slowly
Theyre only fighting for the chance to be last
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Its so much better goin nowhere fast
You shouldnt always see your world so clearly
You shouldnt always know your place so well
And all were doin here is hangin around
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here is gonna be hell
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here has gotta be hell
Im getting lost, Im getting found, Im getting born again each day
Were dyin on the vine until we finally, til we finally get away
The boundaries of this town are closin in just like a noose
The futures gonna rust if we dont put it to some, put it to some use
