1.What Do You Want From Me?

I held you, i said that i loved you
I said that i'd never leave
You said i'm easy, much too easy to hurt
And too easy to believe
So i'm on my own now
I've got myself for a friend
And it gets better every day
And now you wonder, yes you wonder aloud
Why i won't come out and play
What do you want from me?

Some say i'm jaded, disillusioned by
This heart that's turned to stone
Well, that's not true, there's a fire inside me
That won't leave me alone
But you have to ou understand, my fire needs air
The flame must burn free
Do you want control?
Do you want to put the fire out
Or the flame too bright to see?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
What do you want?

Now i still love you but hold you i won't
Because you're free to what you need
And want you free
From the chain to the dungeon of your greed
Oh, tell me why, why couldn't i just accept and let it be?
Oh tell me what, when i want but for you,
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
What do you want?


2.When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Take a look out to the east, where the sun will rise
And think of all the possibility it brings
And it's that which makes it seem a hope that life dead lies
With its rationale that enslaves kings

But now i can't escape the fact that it feel wrong to me
And though the sun shines all the same i still feel lost
Because illumination doesn't mean you get to see what matters
Sometimes you buy the fear and know the cost
Sometimes you have to buy the fear to know the cost

And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time

I close my eyes and i can see a thousand scenes of happy ending
But i'm relieved to wake up to the darkest sky
The night feels clear, the course unchanged
And a lonely wind gives call
The darkest sky allows the brightest stars to steer your own
ship by

But now i can't escape the fact those dreams feel real to me
And though before i've laid my siege and faced attack
In the end, i must admit, i'm just the least bit terrified
For the first time i look for home and i think of starting back
For the first time, i think of starting back

The heart that beats
Is a heart that grows
And through torrid gale
I hold it wheel, because i know
Where you are
Is where i'll be
But it's who you are
That already gives comfort to me

And should the dawn ever decide to set me free
Perhaps in a new way by the light of day
I could learn to face the sunrise
But that still remains for you and i to see
Cause now i'm able to escape that i'm alone in this
And though before i've always taken it that way
And though i'm not used to the exercise
I can offer you my hand
I might even learn to love the light of day
I might even learn to love the light of day

And when i come marching home
When i come marching home
When johnny comes marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time

Because this time i want to stay
I won't ever want to go away
And when i come marching home again to you
I swear it'll be the last time


3.When The Levee Breaks

Memphis minnie

If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining, the levee's going to break,
When the levee breaks i'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home.
Going, goin' to chicago,
Goin' to chicago,
Sorry but i can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.


4.Who Do You Love

Original performer:elias mcdaniel

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,
Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and i don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...


5.With You

Music:john popper
lyrics:john popper

Forgive me this intrusion, please forgive me this cardinal sin
But i have to inform you how lucky you happen to be
There's an army behind you no matter the trouble you're in
And if it isn't an army, well i'm sure that at least you have me

There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get through
Because forever after i am with you
With you
Oh with you
With you

Late night summer sunrise comes to mind whenever i think of you
There's fear in your eyes and a satisfied smile on your face
You're my friend and i love you
I'm entertained and scared by the things you do
A heart full of laughter that none on this earth could replace

There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get throughv because
forever after i am with you
With you
Oh with you
With you
In closing all i can say is try not to look for an answer
Life and its logic tend to dance and to always rearrange
I'm sure you'll be fine in every sense you're a hell of a dancer
Besides i'm with you and that's one thing that will never change

There are times when it seems like
Your dreams have come to an end
They're the times right before you remember
That you've got a friend
A part of me will be with you wherever you go
And i guess this is my cute little way of letting you know
You see i know sometimes it's enough to drive you insane
But no matter the pressure you're under, no matter the pain
With some luck and some laughter we'll get through
Because forever after i am with you
With you
Oh with you
With you


6.Wouldn't It Make You Mad

I'd rather walk
Than ride in your car
I'd rather not be
To be what you are
Excuse my way
But i can't deny it
You say you know better
But you know i won't buy it

Wouldn't it make you mad
If i came up to you
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i could tell you what to do
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i broke down your door
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i started your war
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i came up to you
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i could tell you what to do
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i broke down your door
Wouldn't it make you mad
If i started your war


7.You Rescued Me

Music:john popper
lyrics:john popper

What about the time
When you seemed to need a friend
Not to be your champion
At least i could pretend
And it took so long to know you
For me to finally see
In the midst of my confusion
When i tried to rescue you
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

I don't think me too conceited
But i didn't think you could
Or maybe just too used to solitude
Do you think anybody would
You welcomed me completely
Smiled at what was inside
When the game of hide and seek was over
And to my sweet surprise
I didn't need to hide
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

I could tell you how you're beautiful
In every way that i know
Or admit how much i need you
How i need you not to go
But for me these things are difficult
Still battling with my pride
But there is some cause for hoping
Because though the battle isn't over
At least just now i tried
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me

And i ask you to be patient
These things are hard for me to say
And thought it took so long to stay please, don't go away
If only, but if only, my face is turning red
Ah screw it, here goes nothing
I love you, i love you
And if now i'm feeling free
It's only because you rescued me
And you rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
You rescued me
