Baby, Baby I Been So Bad
By Clare Lockman
August, September, October 2009
Instrumental
Chorus
Baby Baby I been so bad
For most of my confirmed life
But if you love me I'd be so happy
I'd stop this sin, and become your wife
Even back in Catholic school
I was a bad girl who broke rules
I'd sneak cigarettes in the tank
until the principal gave me a really hot spanking
Chorus
I’m done with drinkin’
Except for Sunday I’m thinkin’
Whisky never made me fight, although
I did throw a rock through a stained glass window
Chorus
Instrumental
As for the lovers that surround me
I didn’t tempt them they found me
I’m like a saint, I perform charity
I was helpin’ them and they were givin’ to me
Instrumental
I need to make a confession
I keep a rifle for protection
I love the Lord's creatures, I believe in peace
But I'll shoot off the pants of any man who cheats
Chorus
Stop this sin and become your wife

Could You Keep Me Satisfied?
By Clare Lockman
Fall 2013, March 2014
I’m at my bar on a cold and lonely night
Feeling something is wrong I wanna make right
That’s when I see you walk by
Could you keep me satisfied?
You sit down and order pilsner while
I shred all of my napkins into a pile
Our knees start bouncing side by side
Could you keep me satisfied?
Bridge
I like records and comics too
Zappa, Star Wars, Dr. Who
You have eyes that are so serene
And kisses of tangerine
Instrumental
Bridge
Would you lay me down to sleep
Whisper sweet nothings that keep
me warm when you’re
not around?
Baby, let’s settle down
I’ll move in and I’ll adopt your cat
We’ll play music and both get slightly fat
And I won’t think to question why
You keep me so satisfied

Fall into Blue
By Clare Lockman
March 2008, January 2009, August 2009, September 2009
Intro
My heart
Spilled out like gasoline onto the pavement
Flowing opal iridescent
How it passed
O’er my lips, down my throat and into my veins
Burning clear, hot and full, despite all my pain
Chorus
And that’s how I knew
I wasn’t through
Now here
Light’s fabric cloaks your hair in gold
But I am silk
A rippling shadow
Always cold
Chorus
Sundown
You’ll chase my mirrors away
Unravel opaque
Fog, fill hollow lungs
Know my true face
Chorus

Give or Take a Few
By Clare Lockman
May 2009, September 2009, April 2010
Let's pretend
My dear friend
All time is not wasted
Too many things to eat and buy
Too many things you'll never try
Chorus:
Everyone dies too young
(Look at the) hills and the rising sun
Everyone leaves too soon
(Look at the) icy streets bit by the moon
I'll be behind you
Give or take a few
I'm not young
Anymore
My days are stolen from the store
Leave them alone, high on the shelf
Sitting in jars, all by themselves
Chorus
People have trouble balancing
The putting out and putting in
Too much joy, too much sin
Blink for a year, the light disappears
Open your eyes, the world comes in clear

I’m Dumping You with This Song
By Clare Lockman
Summer 2012
Intro
I’m the kind of girl who likes things cut, colored and glued
So I’ll tell you, the way you act after the bar is very, very rude
But now the cards are falling my way
I see that there is nothing I can do for you
I don’t need your money anyway
Think that through
I think you understand, but I will lay it out just in case
We’ll be having fun, and then you get all drunk and yell right in my face
But now the cards are falling my way
I see that there is nothing I can do for you
I don’t need your money anyway
Think that through
Instrumental
I learned from Savage Love sometimes it’s okay to just give up and quit
So I’m dumping you already, Motherfucker, ‘cause you’re treating me like shit
And now the cards are falling my way
I see that there is nothing I can do for you
I don’t need your money anyway
How ‘bout you?
Think that through

Nevermore
By Clare Lockman
Fall, 2011
I’m waiting to go anywhere you want
I’m moping and avoiding butter
On my morning croissants
I’m laying on the floor listening to Led Zepplin One
By the Bay of the shore
Glist’ning though you’re fled and gone
Glist’ning though my head says it’s wrong
And I won’t know if it’s perfect or just seasonal bliss
‘Til you don’t blow me off
Or avoid my next drunken kiss
‘Til you come to my warm awaiting lips
Instrumental
Right now you’re the closest thing to love that ain’t a chore
‘Cause I think I still believe that
Love makes mothers out of whores
Teaches snakes to crawl, conquers the fall, night nevermore

Now That I’m Colder
Clare Lockman
October 2008, August 2009, September 2009
Back in time to days where lines
Stretched out pointing to the sea
We drew damp mansions in the sands of
Dreaming sunlit memory
Chorus
And now that I’m colder
I look back on you much older
Has time stolen that white heat we shared
Like wind blowing through the dark night air?
Hot sun flashed with an orange glimmer
Shining madly to the shore
We hovered like birds over earthquake tremors
Sugar, flame, and melodies that soar
Chorus
Instrumental
Cirrus smoke in sunset I see
Not walking but wand’ring inside me
Turquoise waters requiem
Supple sparkling faded gem
Chorus

One of a Kind
Clare Lockman
Summer and Fall 2012, March 2014
When I go down to see you
I never know who I’m gonna find
But when your arms enfold me
I know your lovin’ is one of a kind
After I tell you I love you
You won’t tell me what’s on your mind
Oh Baby, I wish you could trust me
I feel your lovin’ is one of a kind
If we stay up after midnight
I’ll try to remember a time
To tell you to be who you gotta be
I still think your lovin’ is one of a kind

Pain in My Brain
Clare Lockman
2010
Sitting at the bar
Feeling I'm all out of choices
Make that one a triple, thank you
I gotta dull out these voices
Don't listen to what they say
Hey you, you don't make the rules
Oh God, now I'm arguing with myself
Worst of all, I might lose
Chorus
Am I going crazy? Or just getting sane?
Sometimes the line seems hazy In my brain
And it's a pain, it's a pain In my brain, in my brain, in my brain
What did I just say out loud?
I'm in the corner nervously laughing
Better put my bluetooth in
Sip my gin, just keep acting
Chorus
I guess I freak out for a living
'Cause it's really hard to find
One single goddamn reason
Why I can't control my mind
Chorus

Pieces of Gold
August 2012, March 2014
Pieces of gold
Do as you’re told
Keep it controlled
please
Could you float oer the horizon to the sunlight’s gaze?
Drifting past the clouds that scatter shadows like a maze?
It’s been foretold
You’re bought and sold
Let grass enfold
Thee
Could you float oer the horizon to the sunlight’s gaze?
Drifting past the clouds that scatter shadows like a maze?
When you’re ready to depart, follow me escape the dark
No more burden, no more shadow
Just sun while the warm wind blows
Pieces of gold
now taking hold
Time to be free
Be free

Things You Say
By Clare Lockman
Summer 2012
Half past ten, drunk again
Somewhere tryin’ to play my song
Felt all day I had the piper to pay
Like something was really wrong
Chorus:
Things you say
They blow me away
They blow me away
They make me afraid
Sunday blues gotta find my shoes
Want to run but which way do I go?
Could it be, time for me
To cast off this weight on my soul?
Chorus
Out the door, can’t take no more
Moving on from the place where I stood
Hot concrete against my feet
First time in months that I really feel good
Chorus

You Will Feel
Clare Lockman
April 2009, August 2009
Running through the city streets
my heart will stop
Gotta get away from you
or I'll drop
Then the people will surround
Rain will fall and water drown
Flashing ambulance will race
sirens wailing
Everyone is taking photos
hands are flailing
Wish you hadn't told me lies
Wish I wasn't gonna die
Chorus
You will feel my pain is real
When I'm enclosed in buried
You will feel my pain is real
When I'm enclosed in buried steel
They’ll strap wires to my chest
voltage fries
Hands support my icy neck
my toes are tied
Maybe this is for the best
So I won't stay just like all the rest
Chorus
As they carry down my coffin
you'll feel fear
Kneeling with your new love
Is your conscience clear?
I will curse you and your wives
Through all your days and all of your lives
Chorus
