Tina Turner - Break Every Rule: Wikipedia Album Entry

Break Every Rule is the sixth solo album by Tina Turner, released on Capitol Records in 1986. The album's predecessor, Private Dancer, set high commercial standards, yet Break Every Rule sold very well worldwide. It reached #4 on the Billboard 200, #2 on the UK albums chart and #1 in many European countries. The RIAA certified Break Every Rule three times platinum, denoting 3 million shipments in the United States. The original A-side of the vinyl album was entirely produced by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten, the team behind "What's Love Got To Do With It", while side B included tracks produced by among others Bryan Adams, Bob Clearmountain, Mark Knopfler and Rupert Hine. Out of the album's eleven tracks no less than eight were released as singles, either in Europe or the U.S. or both; "Typical Male" featuring Phil Collins on drums, "What You Get Is What You See" with Eric Clapton on guitars, "Two People" , David Bowie's "Girls", "Back Where You Started" co-written and produced by Bryan Adams, "Afterglow" featuring Steve Winwood on keyboards, "Break Every Rule" co-written and produced by Rupert Hine and "Paradise Is Here", ten years later covered by Cher. Most of the 12" singles included extended or alternate mixes, live versions and/or non-album tracks, the majority of which still remain unreleased on compact disc. In the U.S., the most successful of the singles was "Typical Male", which reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Following the release of the Break Every Rule album Turner recorded the duet "Tearing Us Apart" with Eric Clapton, included on his Phil Collins produced 1986 album August and also issued as a single in early 1987.

Tina Turner - Break Every Rule Lyrics

Tina Turner - Paradise Is Here Lyrics

You say you wanna live some, move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement, to make you come alive
Some place a million miles from, the shadows that surround you
I look for your attention, you're lost out in the future

Tonight, I came to use it

Well, I guess I've been a long time
Workin' in the backline
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine

There'll be a storm one night
Then I'll fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms

We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze brushing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face

Are people runnin' out of dreams and time
I can hear it when you tell me so
And I can feel it but I can’t let go

Every single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you

Tina Turner - What You Get is What You See Lyrics

Some boys just got the look of a Greek Adonis
An' some boys just try to talk you off your feet
Some boys think they're Gods gift to woman
An' some boys just think they're sweet enough to eat
