From the recording 'Seiche' download
I almost didn't include this track on the album. My producers, Stefano Vieni and Alex Ponce, rooted for it and convinced me by pointing out that the production is unique and risky. They switched up the drum beat several times throughout the song and used these 'clicking taps' that Stefano performed by tapping drumsticks on a wooden stool in the control room. the song is about when you start dating a person and it's great for a sec, then everyone stops having fun, and no one wants to be there any more
....so you stay in it for like 3 years.
:) ENJOY!
Lyrics
Tip Of The Hat
Wake up pour my coffee in a cup the only words I wanna hear today are "It's okay, It'll be okay."
Always the give is harder than the take and you're taking all that I give just to throw it away, throw it all away.
All I ever really wanted was to get through, conversations that were prompting me to miss you.
And now you're calling up, bringing up everything that I pushed out of view.
There you go never taking it slow. Talking, telling me reasons never wanting to show me
where you been. No we can't be friends, but we could recognize the sight of an obvious end
Because I know what I want, know what I can't have, and they're the same thing, same lame tip of the hat to me... tip of the hat to me…
Tip it to the
the L-I-Ees
take it up with your G-O-D
cause all you're gonna get from me
is just the the TIP
Now walking down the street is becoming a feat, all the faces that I see get blurry,
gotta blink it away in a hurry.
you're the call I waited for everyday, gave it all you threw it away
The words replay, darken and decay.
I’m the same fish, stuck on the line. You're a fisherman, You took your time to leave me sitting and waiting and wishing and hoping and praying and only losing my mind.
There you go never taking it slow. Talking, telling me reasons never wanting to show me
where you been. No we can't be friends, but we could recognize the sight of an obvious end
Because I know what I want, know what I can't have, and they're the same thing, same lame tip of the hat to me... tip of the hat to me…
Tip it to the
the L-I-Ees
take it up with your G-O-D
cause all you're gonna get from me
is just the the TIP
Tip it to the words you say, only to manipulate,
would you please refrain, don’t need anything from you
baby it’s too damn late, time to terminate,
allow me to demonstrate, my present point of view
Im tipping my hat to you
Don't try to be polite, your next move will be so trite
You'll rush into the night,
Grab onto the first thing you can find to reuse or replace
Knock on the door to my space,
I and I open it up so I can slam it in your face, (I’ll slam it)
Don't waste my time, I've heard all of your lines and I'm inclined to say, you're not gonna hold sway and I'll be turning up the 808,
To Drown the sound of your rebound.
Cause you're a hoe. like. that.
That's why I'm tipping the hat.
Wake up pour my coffee in a cup
The only words I wanna hear today are "It's okay, It'll be okay."
