I'd Do Anything Soldier's Lament Lyrics - April Uprising - John Butler

Tell me what you want girl, you tell me what you need. 

You know you just say the word I'll be right there, 

Yes I'll be right there at your feet 

Because you know you rock girl yeah, 

And I love how we roll 

But I left you all alone, 

All we got is the phone and it's never gonna be enough 

Living in this dug-out 

A million miles away, man, I wish 

They'd pad these walls, like an institution, man, 

I'm going crazy because when I'm away from you girl, I lose 

Myself, you know my train jumps off tracks and all 

My pots fall off the shelf. 

Oh, I'd do anything, yeah, just to be with you, 

Oh, I'd do anything, 

Oh just to be with you girl, 

Be with you 

It's a little girl's birthday and yeah, we are apart 

Ain't gonna make a big deal out of it but it breaks my heart 

You tell her "Papa loves her" yeah, and it won't be too long, 

'Til we're all together again and yes you know we're all singing yes those songs. 

I escape into my tv, yeah, I know you understand 

Man they call that shit reality, 

I'd like to see those fools in Afghanistan. 

Living in this cold damn world, 

Hell bent on self-destruction, 

What I need right now is a little bit of love, a little bit of love and affection. 

Oh, I'd do anything 

Oh just to be with you, 

Oh I'd do anything, 

Oh just to be with you, girl 

Just to be with you, just to be with you girl, Be with you 

Tell me what you want girl, you tell me what you need. 

You know you just say the word I'll be right there, 

Yes I'll be right there at your feet
