( Rossi / Parfitt / Bown )
Me and my friends gonna make a pile of money
Gonna check it out every day
Me and my wife gonna need every penny
'cos we're throwing it all away
But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Me and my friends we're rugged little rockers
And we're lazing away the day
Hot wax jacked-up on the television
And forgetting about the pay
But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking awayFour rockers rollin'
With a poet in the wings
Waiting to blow his heart away
Beanos with the road-crew
Postcards to the wife
Stating the menu of the day
Flying through 'til breakfast
Sleeping on the plane
Looking a good deal
Better than we'll ever feel again
Is it really worth it?
Could it all be real?
Am I just living out a dream?
Sitting in a hotel
Falling of the stage
Tuning in to Wonga Queen
Old men in boys' clothes
Has gone beyond a joke
Skin me another
And pass along the Wiskey and the Coke
Me and my friends are hating everybody
Who was telling us what to say
Heads down rockin' on up and down the country only
Living from day to day
And I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking away

Well just between you and me
I don't know what I'm doing here
In your room close to you
Full of shit and free beer
My brother, the bartender
I tip him well and I drink for free
Oh he takes good care of me
He takes care of me
Anyway, I'm here on my bicycle
I'm too tired to ride on
If it's okay with you
Can I take off these shoes and stay the night?
Well just between you and me, this thing between you and me
Might not be anything worth singing about
Or it might be just what I need
Someone to take my mind off things at the end of a long day
Someone to take my pants off me at the end of a long night
Either way, we're here
We're two bicycles ridden too tired to move
Which of us two is dumb enough to choose

Lugaid:
Don't wait my friend. We better don't think twice.
Time to fell the prison guard you gotta realize:
No turning back again. Therefor it's all too late...
New horizons wait...
I know the time has come
te leave your past behind.
And now the time has come
to stop them controlling your mind.
Gabriel:
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away.
Otherwise she will be dying
while both of us are lying here in chains.
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away!
Oh - otherwise she will be dying
while both of us are lying here in chains.
Always been a novice in quest for paradise.
Hope they will forgive me for I apostatize.
I can't be no hypocrite, can't wear a masquerade...
New horizons wait...
Lugaid and Gabriel:
And now the time has come to go another way.
To learn for life and to grow ripe
and prevent the decay...
Gabriel:
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away.
Otherwise she will be dying
while both of us are lying here in chains.
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away!
Oh - otherwise she will be dying
while both of us are lying here in chains.
Breaking away!
It is so hard to lay down what I've been.
But I must go even if my way leads to Hades...
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away.
Otherwise she will be dying
while both of us are lying here in chains.
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away!
Oh - otherwise she will be dying

I've finally realized that all my dreams lost
Were lost because of me
But tonight, I am changing the way things used to be
And all these memories will be erased
[Chorus]
Breaking away
From everything that's hopeless
The road ahead looks wonderful
Breaking away
From everything that's hopeless
The road ahead looks wonderful today
Another day of life
One more chance to live for more than me
I'm reaching out to take the hand of Someone I can't see
And all these memories will be erased
[Chorus]
Tonight will be the night
No more waiting, I've spent life waiting
Take this heart of mine
No more waiting, I give myself to You
[Chorus]

My child, life will be OK.
If you listen to me and do what I say.
I will protect you with the help of God And your whole life will be all right
My dearest daughter what's troubling you? - I no longer believe in your ideals -
Well you're too young to think for yourself Daddy knows best -
AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET THAT!
No! I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!
My life is never going to be all right NO! I am finished listening to you RIGHT!
Leave me alone You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong,
I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!
You told me to go to church And you told me to go to school
You told me to respect my elders, most of them are fools like you
Understand I like to make All my decisions for myself
I won't blindly follow you Or anyone else NO! I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!
My life is never going to be all right NO! I am finished listening to you RIGHT!
You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!
I try to make you understand I talk until my face is blue
I don't want to settle down And have a boring life like you
You always try to control me And tell me what I'm supposed to do
I'm not going to listen Anymore to you! NO!
I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!
My life is never going to be all right NO!
I am finished listening to you RIGHT!
You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong,
I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!

King of all days
we live to bring you praise
be exalted, you're the only one for me
Lord of the earth
our lives you are worth
be exalted, you're the only one for me
Breaking away from our fears
we are liberated
living like there's no tomorrow
in your freedom
alive
Prince of all peace
we live for you in purity
be exalted, you're the only one for me
Breaking away from our fears
we are liberated
living like there's no tomorrow
in your freedom
I've become alive
Breaking away from our fears
we are liberated
living like there's no tomorrow
in your freedom
I've become alive (alive)
There is no other way (there is no other way)
there is no other grace
that can save me
(x3)
Breaking away from our fears
we are liberated
living like there's no tomorrow
in your freedom
Breaking away from our fears
we are liberated
living like there's no tomorrow
in your freedom

Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break...
I'm breaking away from you.
Open your hands and show me what your holding.
Is it an emerald, or is it a pearl?
What other information are you beholding?
You're such a funny girl.
Where is your mother, where did she came from?
Was your father a sailor or a thief?
Who was your brothers, where did they came from?
I'd wish you'd tell me about them at least.
But you're so silent, you're so gentle.
I think my brain will go.
This town's your town, yeah, this room's your temple.
And now you know what I have to go.
That's what it takes to love you.
That's what it takes to love you too.
That's what it takes to hate you too.
So I'll just wanna go.
Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break...
I'm breaking away from you.
Don't give me words whit no meanings.
Don't give me problems that you can't solve.
Ha! Don't tell me now you're revealing.
Things we spoke of long ago.
I know you're ways, I know you're silence.
This could go on all day.
This is the way this is the violence.
And now you know why I can't stay.
That's what it takes to love you.
That's what it takes to love you too.
That's what it takes to hate you too.
Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break... break...
Break... break... break...

You're making me feel guilt
in whatever I do
It's killing me easily
can't take it no more
no no
I'm bearing the invisible chains
in my heart
Disabling my mind
and destroying my life
Ain't breathing here
I'm breaking away
breaking away
away from you
I'm still feeling guilt
even though I'm on my own
The voice preaching inside me
won't leave me alone
That's me I see
I'm breaking away
breaking away
breaking away
away from you
I'm bleeding here
I'm breaking away
breaking away
breaking away

Break... break... break... break...
break... break... break... break...
break... break... break...
I'm breaking away from you.
Open your hands and show me what your holding.

A promise weakened by the hands of time
Honest, I meant it when I said be mine
Eternal love was a dream
I hoped we could share
I could be wrong
But it seems love that's strong just ain't
there
I'm coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I'm changing my world
CHORUS:
Breaking away
And it's breaking your heart
Breaking away
And it's breaking your heart
Sorry is something I don't want to say
Heartache with no one to blame
Living a lie could be our mistake
I can't deny love's a feeling I just won't
fake
I'm coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I'm changing my world, and
CHORUS
Baby, I never wanted to hurt you
I know you're confused
Well, baby I am too
If the feeling we share could be less than
true
Then let's not deny the love you and I had
is through
I'm coming into myself
It may leave you far behind
I'm changing my world

This has gone on long enough
I’ve tried so hard to be someone you could love
I’m sick of hiding all the pain
The days keep passing by and I just waste away
I’m sick of feeling my way through the dark
But now I am breaking away from it all
I feel it coming
I feel it in the wind
This is the beginning
But it will bring the end
I won’t live my life behind this cold disguise
Just to keep the hell in you inside
You could never see who I’m supposed to be
Looking at your broken view of me
I spent so long earning what you call love
I tried so hard, but never was good enough
Now I finally see, that I’ll never be
The perfect creation you wished I would be
Is this what you call love
I’ve finally had enough
This hell is what you’ve made into my home
You think you’re holy enough to call my sin
Well, this is the beginning...
My world is surrounded by lies you create
This nightmare wont hold me

I'd like to think that you're thinking of me
So close to you, you just seem so far away
So far away, so far until I cannot see
By breaking away you've broken the rules
By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
I'm breaking away, you made me give in
And making me loose what I thought I could win
Ohoho
You're just a man with a modern problem
Can rest his heart, has to be so far away
So far away, so far I'm loosing all believe
By breaking away you've broken the rules
By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
I'm breaking away, you made me give in
And making me loose what I thought I could win
I saw the writing clearly on the wall
It told me what your heart it hurts when you fall
And yet we've more to loose I couldn't give in
It's a fight I just wanted to win
By breaking away you've broken the rules
By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
I'm breaking away, you made me give in
And making me loose what I thought I could win
By breaking away you've broken the rules
By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
I'm breaking away, you made me give in
And making me loose what I thought I could win
By breaking away you've broken the rules
By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
