All Rise For...

1. Breakout

Concentrate and reveal the spell

Mediate through the wishing well

Cast your mind and see behind the misty veil

Then one day you will learn to fly

One day you will soar and dive

And then you can get out

Breakout

Delicately now, separate the facts

Take them out and put all the liars back

Throw back the stone and hurry home to the truth

Then one day you will learn to sing

One day you’ll know everything

And then you can get out

Breakout

2. To Die For

Well I had to sit myself down hard

And rub my startled eyes

A look that laid me out for ten

And shook the souls of all witnessing men

A woman hailed in gold jumped up and took my soul

A woman pure and good too sweet for my own good

Now she looks good enough to die for

To lie for, to bare soul and cry for

Good enough to give up my whole self

And sell my soul to the prince of hell

Just to take her home and have her all to myself

Aha, just to take her home

Well I had to pull myself up straight

And shake myself about

A look that took away my breath

And drove me to my premature death

A woman hailed in gold jumped up and took my soul

A woman pure and good too sweet for my own good

Now she looks good enough to die for

To lie for, to bare soul and cry for

Good enough to give up my whole self

And sell my soul to the prince of hell

Just to take her home and have her all to myself

Aha, just to take her home

To die for, to die for

3. One Last Love Song

So I wrote just one more love song

‘Cause you cannot say enough about love

And I tried to make sure it was a good one

Because anything any less just wouldn’t do

And I hope you will agree

This was always meant to be

A message that is clear and true

And I can’t think of a better explanation

Than a love song to say “I love you”

So here it is: just one more love song

‘Cause I haven’t heard enough of them yet

And it’s been thirty years in the making

And I’ve tried to make sure you won’t forget

Now I hope you can see

It’s as clear as it can be

A message sent in more than just the words

And I don’t know of a better demonstration

Than a love song to say “I love you”

So anybody that still needs another love song

This is yours. You can have this one to keep

And anybody really needs another love song

Take these words, take this simple melody

And anybody really needs another love song

Everyone - this one is for you

And everybody needs another grand finale

Here’s a love song to say

I love you

4. Change Forever

We have a complication in politics

We have a delegation that makes me sick

We have an obligation to scream and shout

We have the privilege to throw the liars out

So throw, throw, throw the liars out

Well if something’s not right then it has to change

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s my time, maybe it’s my age

And if something’s not right then it has to go

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right, maybe I don’t know

Maybe I don’t know

Change for better

Change forever

Change for better

Change forever, for better, forever, forever

We must have inspiration and second sight

We have to see creation with open eyes

We have to take control, we must fight

We have to change the nation if it’s not right

So change, change, change, change tonight

Well if something’s not right then it has to end

Take it outside, take it far away, take it ‘round the bend

And if something’s not right then it has to go

Send outside, send it far away, send it down below

And if something’s not right then it has to change

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s my time, maybe it’s my age

And if something’s not right then it has to go

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right, maybe I don’t know

Maybe I don’t know

Change for better

Change forever

Change for better

Change forever, for better, forever, forever

Come on and change, change, change forever

Change, change, change, forever

Forever change

5. Rise

Trying to look to the future

There is nothing to see

Trying to find a reason or meaning

What we’re supposed to be

What will become of us?

No, don’t bury us dead, no

Sink our souls alive

No don’t bury us dead, no

Let us suffer and rise, rise, rise

Trying to be a second coming

Just trying to save some souls

Trying to cleanse the world of evil

But never even close

What will become of us?

No, don’t bury us dead

Sink our souls alive

No don’t bury us dead

Oh no let us suffer and rise, rise, rise

6. Better

I must be crawling or you’re really tall

My head only reaches your knee

I fell or I’m falling

‘Cause you’re getting further away from me

My stomach is churning, the poison is turning

The whites of my eyes grey

It’s tragic to finds all the magic behind you

Was not all it’s cracked up to be

And now when you sing to me

You are a mystery

Did you miss me?

You know better than I what I’m like

You know better than I what it takes

You know better than I what it makes me do

You know better than I what I mean to you

I have a penchant for your sweet enchantment

It makes me feel like I belong

And pulled up and dusted off I am on top

You’re making me feel strong

So let it out of me now, let it out, let it down

I’m turning myself inside out

I thought I had reason, that this was my season

That this is what it’s all about

And now when I spin around

And lose sight of steady ground

You come and settle me down

You know better than I what I’m like

You know better than I what it takes

You know better than I what it makes me do

You know better than I what I mean to you

What did I ever mean to you?

What is it that I do?

I never knew what you see

And you have always known better than me

You know better than I

What I’m like

7. I’ll Get Back To You

I’ve been trying for days now to get through

But all I hear is an answer phone that sounds a bit like you

And I just want to say that you always make my day

But I leave my number and all I hear is “I’ll get back to you”

“I’ll get back to you”

I don’t believe in you and your

“I’ll get back to you”

I’ve head it a thousand times

But still it won’t come true

“I’ll get back to you”

I know that I can’t go on

But what else can I do?

I really can’t live without you

I can’t hang on forever

So I’ll get back to you

I put my drink away and I try again

Now you’ve run out of tape so I can’t say what I meant

And all I’m saying is we were meant to be

So once again I wait around for you to get back to me

But will you get back to me?

8. Automatic

I know I’m just to practise on

Until you get what you really need

I know I’m lacking in features

And you expect better quality

But my love for you is automatic

And my love you get for free

And this longing look for you is real

And these feelings I feel I believe they are real to me

Now I know you’re not quite ready yet

But I will wait as long as you need

You can break me into pieces

I will get back together again

My love for you is automatic

My love for you, you get for free

And my love for you is real

And my love for you is real to me

My love’s automatic

My love is free

My love is not jusy a practise run

It only comes from somewhere deep

I know it’s not just a gesture

But it’s the prime of sincerity

My love’s automatic

My love is free

My love’s automatic

My love is free

9. Would You?

Would you forgive me if I go wrong sometimes?

Could you receive me with real trust inside?

Would you believe me if I said I lied to save us?

We’re ever so frail and we might break

The progress we promised ourselves to make

We’re open to hope but it’s closed today

The choices we promised ourselves to take

We’re counting on luck but it won’t show

There goes those fortunes we have known

Where does the time all go to?

Could you release me from this bond we have made?

Would you explain it, how the strength just drains away?

Could you repair it, fix the cracks and make it stay?

We’re ever so frail and about to break

The house of sand and plaster we make

We’re out of time and out of jokes

The smile and laughter went up in smoke

We’ve ridden it out and the whip wore through

The dreams we flogged to pieces came true

Where does the hope return to?

And just when I thought we had come

To the darkest place

You set me on fire and lit me up

With a simple touch, a sweet embrace

And the heaviest pain lifted at once

Putting that smile back on my face

And the heaviest pain, lifted at once

How quickly despair can be replaced

Now would you believe me if I said I’ve always loved you?

10. Impulse

I have to do it

It makes me up

I have to try

It’s all part of me now

I have to do it

Even if there’s nothing there

I have to do it

What else is there for me to do?

Even if it’s doomed

I have to do it

No say, no choice

No pick, no voice

No matter my sense

I have no influence

No pick, no voice

No say, no choice

No matter my sense

I have no influence

I have to do it
