The Sacramento EP

On the year anniversary of the California stay at home order I decided to release a "live in quarantine" acoustic EP of some special performances I did over the last year with friends. Covid brought a year without live music, and time to reflect on what's really important, so for me the best music to make was live, raw, and honest.  Good tunes,  good friends, and no bells and whistles. Hope you enjoy.

K.FLAY - Wishing it Was You (Josh Lippi Remix)

All it takes is conversation 
but I never learned to talk till I met you 
the songs were on the station 
but I only knew better but to follow suit 

Then you came along 
when I was so far gone 
and a new life that seemed impossible was here 

Talk to me baby 
cuz I could hear you talk all night long 

Your words are spoke from miles away 
but I could drive all night 
just to hear you say my name again, my love 
your more than i deserve 
your words they calm my nerves 

Talk to me baby 
cuz I could hear you talk all night long

Talk To Me

"The Girl With The Tambourine" by Josh Lippi & The Overtimers from the upcoming record Manzanillo St.

https://joshlippi.bandcamp.com/track/the-girl-with-the-tambourine
 
The door swings back and in comes the breeze 
Cold as ice with a Tambourine 
Words cocked back like a shotgun 
But she don't need to use them 
Ain't here for your fun, and I said... 

You need some help coming off the street? 
Didn't even break a stride 
Eyes like a do or die 
And I tried and I tried and 
To look away 
I tried and I tried and 
But I can't just seem to 
Look away. 

She took the stage 
Sharpened eyes 
A purple leg from the tambourine at her side 
Drag from a cigarette 
Had the room like a magnet 
Thousands of people could be watching her 
But she don't bat an eye 
And she smiled with a wink and 
Took my guitar and 
Told me to not get 
In the way, look out! 

She rips the room 
The tables fly 
They can't believe 
Believe their eyes 

Don't get in the way of the Girl with the Tambourine.

Manzanillo St.

Single

The Girl With The Tambourine

Take me back to times when things were fine and I didn't know 
that I had inside all these thoughts that would grow 
and I didn't have to go it alone. 
All these people wearing suits and ties and claiming the street 
moving fast to find a way without using their feet 
you moving ahead or are you falling asleep. 

This dreamer's not gone 
but sometimes these nights I feel alone 
like I'm the only one that's left to try, 
Let's make something new. 

You can't live here unless you bet the big blind 
or pitch your tent, and it's the sign of the times 
the city of love became the city of dying 
well that's alright I'm alive. 

This dreamer's not gone 
but sometimes these nights I feel alone 
like I'm the only one that's left to try. 

A new design 
in such short time 
who's construct dismantled a culture that made it exciting 
for you to come here and start your own comfy life 
but the architects and the ones that lay bricks 
can't seem to find enough money to stay here 
when a city become a private club 
but there's still light and they will shine. 

This dreamer's not gone 
but sometimes these nights I feel alone 
like I'm the only one that's left to try, 
Let's make something new.

For Nana

Open fire upon me 
one side never really seems to know 
so it goes 
doors will close 
raise your price upon me 
well take you down 
feel the ground 

Only in time I find you set me up 
these days it's hard to get away 

We go out together 
paid in full but still it's stripped away 
up in flames 
washed away 
open up your hearts now 
the whole world needs 
peaceful dreams 

Only in time I find you set me up 
in time I find you set me 
Only in time I find you set me up

Zócalo

We just don't seem to get along anymore 
we just don't seem to get along 
we just don't seem to get along anymore 
we just don't seem to get along 
well I don't care 
I just don't care anymore 
yeah I don't care 
I just don't care anymore 

I gave you my coat in the pouring rain 
you kept on walking 
said that I was to blame 
these clothes will dry 
but not today 
I threw my penny in your wishing well 
the house is on fire 
and you won't ring the bell 

Well figure it out 
you can figure it out for yourself 
yea figure it out 
you can figure it out for yourself 

We just don't seem to get along anymore 
we just don't seem to get along 
we just don't seem to get along anymore 
we just don't seem to get along 
well I don't care 
I just don't care anymore 
yeah I don't care

Get Along

It's coming real fast 
scroll back down to find out what you know 
cuz it's all there 
set me up right 
let me see just what I want to see 
just my side 
You 
you'll find out that you are just like me 
choosing only what you want to see. 

It's coming back again my friend 
we are just the same but trying to pretend 
that you're all lies and I will never let you win 
there's no end if we never begin 

We're all Torn 

Fuck your fake news 
all you want is money and control 
so I'm told 
You 
all you want is benefits for free 
let's go to war as long as it's not me 

It's coming back again my friend 
we are just the same but trying to pretend 
that you're all lies and I will never let you win 
cuz you will break before I ever bend 

We're all Torn 

It's coming back again my friend 
we are just the same but trying to pretend 
that you're all lies and I will never let you win 
cuz you will break before I ever bend 

We're all Torn

Torn

When your hearts stops 
I hope that I'm there 
to offer you some peace at least 
to show you someone cared 
because the times that we choose 
always seem to refuse 
a life can change with a phone call 
the next day ain't what you knew 

It came on fast 
sometimes you see it coming 
the world world was your ocean 
and I was working at a restaurant 
your spark gave us the fire 
living dreams 
nice life 

I'll find a way 
to keep you by my side 
you're always here 
you will never die 
with me you grow 
you've done so much for me 
you'll never know 

And yet these days go flying by 
but you are all I need just to keep my speed 
not let another year go by 
and if my dreams could me one thing 
it's keeping your vibe alive 
I'll always play a song for you 
his train go flying by 

I'll find a way 
to keep you by my side 
you're always here 
you will never die 
with me you grow 
you've done so much for me 
you'll never know

Nice Life

Sorry that I'm working late tonight 
funny how the time just rolls right by 
thought I had it figured out 
turned into an awful drought 
and now I right back where I began 
my love 

This time it's going down 
we'll get out this awful town 
and you don't have to take the bus around 
I figured out the perfect sound 
to turn it all around 
you'll see, we're right where we need to be 
my love 

I'll make it work some how

Made It

Pour water on the dust 
it still dries out in the heat 
you fill the potholes 
still on a one way street 
take a look around 
live wires they hang like vines 
the streets become a battlefield 
a moment that's lost in time 

And the prices seem to rise 
the people they pay with lives 
cuz you can eat gas as the tanks roll past your blinded eyes 
and families are torn apart 
just looking for a place to start 
a doctor with no medicine 
an innocent that's turn to crime. 

The Calles of the world are on fire again 
there's no time for it 
the Calles of the world they're on fire again 
burn bright today 
burn bright 

We stand tall 
and your time's through 

The Calles of the world they're on fire again. 
there's no time for it 
the Calles of the world they're on fire again 
burn bright today 
burn bright
