Or would you be polite through a pleasant smile and think that someone whose dirty and vile? Cause I’ve seen this before behind a million doors where you sit and judge leaving me on the floor. So what do you say we swim out into the bay, hold our breath, hope for the best, carry us away. Maybe we’ll land on a shore scaling up the moors, rest in the sand turn to stone while the ocean roars. Cause I’ve felt this before perhaps in a different chord where I slip and fall you try to call but I’m gone. I must admit we’ve seen better times. If I could count the times I’ve dried the eyes in that reflection I’ve lost direction, I can’t compromise cause I’ve tried to before all I’m left with is open soars from all the leeches sucking to me I can’t ignore that we’ve seen better times up wind and hill yet we keep trying (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) BIG HEART / BIG TEARS(Clipperton) I hang you around my neck to remind me of all the mistakes I’ve made, these foolish big tears are blurring the truth. You build the castle and I swim the mote stroke, stroke, stroke, breath. I’ll show you I’m here always protecting you. It could have meant nothing, you could have seen it through. I wish I could take myself back. All you get from a big heart is big tears running like rivers the side of my head. All you get from a black heart is long years dragging and gouging I can’t see the end. All you get from trying too hard is calluses and broken bones. All you get from a black eye is devotion. All you get from betrayal is erosion. All you get from a big heart is big tears. The brightness of the waking hour is kind to my mistakes, I’ve magnified your every doubt just the same. What are you still doing here? You should have walked away my friend, found some cleaner air and a brighter day. But then the flood comes in, I find myself swimming, I wish I could take myself back. All you get from a big heart is big tears running like rivers the side of my head. All you get from a black heart is long years dragging and gouging I can’t see the end. All you get from trying too hard is calluses and broken bones. All you get from a black eye is devotion. All you get from betrayal is erosion. All you get from a big heart is big tears. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) BULLY(Clipperton) Every bridge I cross I see you there bad skin and tight jeans waiting for me. Where’s the little boy you used to beat about the head, did you bury him under the bridge? Sometimes I wish there was nothing left, sometimes I wish you held nothing back. I don’t want my dimples to give me away I wasn’t designed that optimistic, every black day , can’t blame it all on you, every temper flare every short fuse. Sometimes I wish there was nothing left, sometimes I wish you held nothing back. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) CARBONATED LIPLOCK(Clipperton) i hate the attention she screamed racing mean down the street sometimes the presentations not what the mind intended to be it seems all communication devices are connected and ready living life as a modern vulture you need to choose your weapons carefully please turn up the sun i'm tired of seeing clearly what I cannot help and If the heat could burn us off I still think I'd say that I could make you feel good i could make your soul cum i could make your hard earned work feel effortless i could get you through this i could dance your life out cause I think the balance is off and we all deserve to feel better help me find some trust in here maybe some faith cause the blackest days are building in frightening ways did I stare too long I had trouble diverting my eyes i meant no harm you look fine didn't mean to sympathize please cut me some eyes i think I've gone blind to the diversity by which I've abided the sting from the cut wore off but the sentiment's clear and I could make you feel good i could make your soul cum i could make your hard earned work feel effortless i could get you through this i could dance your life out I think the balance is off and we all deserve to feel better I feel tequila fog and heavy lung in this carbonated liplock (from the album 'swing swing' released 2004) CATHERINE DENEUVE AND THE DEUS EX MACHINA(Clipperton) you could have saved us from it all Catherine but the fire at your heels didn't get you here in time are you coming through the clouds to take me back with you Catherine a camel light in one hand and a smile to calm the gunfire but you can only do so much as any human can do I 'm still sure you're the only one left here who's pure you're here to fix what we've messed up I'm sure you'll get me out of here take me anywhere the machines are behind you all the way Catherine we're running out of time but I think my makeup's ok they're ready for you now they're looking up to you Catherine I'm the one at the front who believes you can save me but you can only do as much as the director asks you to I 'm just sure you're the only one left who's pure you're here to fix what we've messed up I'm sure you'll get me out of here take me anywhere (from the album 'We love You, but not as Much as we love Ourselves' released 2006) CALIFORNIA MILLE(Clipperton) Sparkling candy red smiling in the sunlight glittering down the California Mille. Chrome, lights and hot leather love hugging every turn, winds off the Palisades sending me high. What made me think I had anything different to say in these days drenched with simple common phrase. Hey baby switch gears, kick through all the stops, 11 and 1 on tough road ride the clutch and speed yourself home. Piercing yellow burns cutting through the harsh night dancing in my eyes on sea- soaked ride. Heating up the asphalt so the rubber can catch the groove, Courtney singin sad on the AM mono vibe. What made me think I could handle this turn alone, that I could navigate every twist and straight and roam. Hey baby switch gears, kick through all the stops, 11 and 1 on tough road ride the clutch and speed yourself home. Safe in this paradise with control in my steer, free on the California Mille burn me still here. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) CHEST FULL OF LOVE(Clipperton) Take all your creativity and poise it in your gun. Trace out the future cutting deeper as you go. Use all the red to fill in the missing beats, mark this skin with optimism ‘til it’s complete. We can stand so tall with this chest full of love, bleeding out the fire as we go. Watch us stand so tall with this hopeful devote, stomping out the cinders as we go. Wipe off the blood so you can see clear where you go. Make sure the details are a true reflection of what I know. This will surely make up for all the things I forgot to do, to prove that I’m not going anywhere just closer to you. We can stand so tall with this chest full of love, bleeding out the fire as we go. Watch us stand so tall with this hopeful devote, stomping out the cinders as we go. So, don’t mess it up, don’t let me down, focus that fear, ignore all my sounds. Catch all the light, enhance for sure, all you believe, and what I’m worth. Hey good people Yeshua is here, I’m the peacekeeper baby telling you Kelly’s fears. The boys a bleeding heart, the kind that won’t bleed out. He wants to carry it on his back but the lumbar give out. It’s about the love baby not the sadness. It’s about the hand in the heart of his madness, and the hope that I bring keeping all tings good, with a face up to the sun, floating out until its come… (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) CITY ON FIRE(Clipperton) Hogtown is burning down, going up in flames. I can see the panic o’er the rooftops, hands screaming for escape. The buildings cry as they fall apart. Sweating on the inside and breaking my heart. City of Angels is gonna drown, soakin the wings of hope. I can see the panic o’er the mountains, screaming to stay afloat. Swimming through debrise and decay, searching for the truth. Grab all the aging hipsters before they succumb and take my hand cause your city’s on fire! Hogtown is burning down tonight. Take my hand cause your city’s on fire! Camden Town is goin out alright. So stay be me, don’t lose sight, keep your head up, gone into night, shoulders strong,no safety ahead, we got too careless and now your city’s on fire! Hogtown is burning down tonight. Take my hand cause your city’s on fire! City of lights is blowin out alright (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) C'MON BOYS(Clipperton) C’mon boys don’t give your hearts away, dancing in a sea of disrespectful play. You’ve got the choice to rise above the games, holding yourself up to better days. Celebrate the empire we’ve built not cut each other down. Its easy to slice and bruise to appear on higher ground. Respect the blazin trails and the barriers knocked out. Elevate your brothers and sisters who stood tall with no support around. So c’mon boys don’t give your hearts away dancing in a sea of disrespectful play. You’ve got the choice to rise above the games, holding yourself up to better days. Hey baby all the strength you need is much closer than you think. Keep in mind the ones before who lost everything. We’ve built a voice and a conscience and sense of self that’s enviable to most, so take some pride in your pride and lets show ‘em how its done. Viva ser viva. Tengo los amigos. Llene con el amor. Corazones del futureo. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) DESPERADO(Clipperton) there'll be a million other songs and words to get me by and help me see but all I've ever wanted is for you to listen to me do I have to have my balls to the wall for you to get how it feels or can it painfully slide out in desperate whispers and squeals if it didn't work out and I gave up would anybody notice would you be there to pull me out years of wisdom and decades of disillusionment etched on my wrists like a map to where I should be going will the next step ever feel ok or am I designed to see the underbelly to dig at the danger until it electrocutes right through me if it didn't work out and I gave up would anybody notice would you be there to pull me out if i didn't come around and I walked off would it make a difference cause i need this like oxygen i believe this like Elvis is breathing i feel this is like a deep slice i'm afraid of it like Einstein you let me sleep it through this haunting desperado but it sticks to me like something that I've always known guiding over my shoulder pushing me through and true shouldn't you be enough shouldn't I be full just with you (from the album 'swing swing' released 2004) DOUBLEDARE(Clipperton) I want to grab ahold of this time, nail myself to the sentiment, suspend in this happy moment, pickle and preserve it. I want to stay here in this smile, forever in this bliss. All the other moments are too much work, too hard to make sense of so sing me that new song the one that you’ve been working on, the one that’s gonna take us out of here. Cause I feel like I’m ready to lose it all in your melody doubledare for double happiness. You’re like poetry aren’t you? flowing from land’s end to here, effortless in your delivery albeit captivatingly queer. Did I ever leave that decade? Or did the sidewalk hold me down, wet before its permanency promising me aground. So sing me that new song the one that you’ve been working on, the one that’s gonna take away of here. Cause I feel like I’m ready to lose myself in your melody doubledare for double happiness. The room seems heavy again today. doesn't matter how many windows i open, the air stares at me. The moisture won’t allow the breath to rejuvenate my happiness and get up off my blackened bloody knees. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009) FERRIS WHEEL(Clipperton) I've been drawn to solitude most and the arduous task of defining myself In my own terms without confrontation wars or evaluation this man's not amusing with his black nails and yellow eyes saying find the height where you're capable and learn to glide take this ferris wheel with me til it breaks down maybe then we can fix what we were and the way we are now lying here and giving up come step on my hair cause I love the tug fairweathered bones and hearts in the dirt beside me and all over the ground stick a little vinyl on a 45 and let me disappear in the scratch cause the passive aggressive flowers you sent are dying now take this ferris wheel with me til it breaks down maybe then we can fix what we were and the way we are now take this rollercoaster with me til it runs out maybe then we can talk and I can dig my way out (from the album 'We love You, but not as Much as we love Ourselves' released 2006) FIRESCAPING(Clipperton/Wilcox) In the footsteps that you used to follow me there's a slip of the past the boy you used to be his hands much cleaner than the ones you hide through the holes in your pockets you're always checking always looking right behind never get better never recover I will never makeup with you I want to describe the alleyways behind the nightclubbing but the look on your face makes me shut up no puddle no stench no post mortem blues can compare I'm standing out here I'm scared I'm still scared of you never get better never recover I will never makeup with you the light beneath my door when I come home late It's protecting me from when I hesitate all your bugs all your worms all your hell all your apologies can still slip through to me but I'm already out the window firescaping from you never get better never recover I'll never makeup with you (from the album 'We love You, but not as Much as we love Ourselves' released 2006) HEAVY METAL(Clipperton) there's something here in what I've found its growing through me like an orchestra of nails and though I struggle to keep in down it builds and burns through its many different phases and I've never felt more irrelevant than this before why's this hangin so heavily around my throat if what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I must be ferocious, unrelenting and bionic lets roll I'm not that abstract I'm just waiting for the music to save me they say you should come out of the gate ablaze and great big balls of lava spitting fahrenheit and cigar smoke the paparazzi making love to your moment you couldn't imagine how much I don't care my double negative is making a liar out of me Its all tits and laughter rack n' ribs luggage on heels some astro turf illusion so lets roll I'm not that abstract I'm just waiting for the music to save me the diva drenched disco dens have never got me up and like a typical '80s rock ballad it leaves me cold and out the revolution used to have such a rep now its butchered in a bloody mess I feel like asking stevie nicks: what would you do now?

Your revolution was a revelation alright. How can I make myself more attractive to you? I expected more from you and I this time. My body is broken and bruised, I’m fighting but its let me down again. The day cracks in half and spits me out, my soaking eyes will lie and say its all mended then. I’m not for want built all I’ve got, still spend hours filtering versions of the truth. The fighting talk in my head gets me through. How can I make myself more attractive to you? Keep my nose to the grind to justify but now I want out. How can I make myself more attractive to you? Your handsome smile washes out all my crimes. How can I make myself more attractive to you?

we were almighty Its damn fine democracy I miss all the lives we lived and re-hashed and my life is with me I'll miss you absolutely but I have evolved baby thanks for your help hey did you hear me is that all I have to say should i suffer this suck it up and walk away cause I've been everybody's intrigue and nobody's staple its time to surprise myself (from the album 'We love You, but not as Much as we love Ourselves' released 2006) X(Clipperton) 10 years, nearly 10 years now, a complete chapter in my life shutting down. Gone, the warmth beside me. All the energy we poured into caring is replaced with fear, but its so ingrained I’m not sure how I’ll survive, heads supposed to be up but I think that’s propaganda and lies. No matter how much reassurance comes along its dead and gone, through a seemingly endless stream of tears. We’ve invested so much but it seems to deteriorate, you haven’t cared in so long. Everyone says they understand but this is just ours, you and me, no one else’s hands but its so ingrained I’m not sure how I’ll survive, heads supposed to be up but I think that’s propaganda and lies. No matter how much reassurance comes along its dead and gone through a seemingly endless stream of tears. Maybe you should have run when you felt you knew better. Maybe I should have gone when I felt I couldn’t do better, but here we stayed, mostly happy to try and I’ll miss every second of every moment for the rest of my life. I’m addicted to what you think of me. I miss the exciting discoveries. I’m truly sorry for everything I broke. (from the album 'Modernism', released 2009)
