Peter Four

What do you care, don't hold me in traces, you wouldn't dare, your tune is not easy, blue webs across my face, spun by the breeze, say you need to share, but where’s the kissing place, why put me here, in chains to the sea, unlike your gaze, a sung hymn to serendipity, hard to know what's fair, when your voice is dazed, lips that snare, down swollen streams, no one escapes, sugar sweet, you're no liar, to sing so great, are you aware, what you give away?

Peter Three

You can sometimes squeeze, from each breath she takes, a manner that's easy, she murmurs God take me soon, face washed grey, from hospital rooms, outside is a magnolia tree, love marks her day, purple on the breeze, it's not her tune, this lousy disease, the wind goes boom, forget my frenzy, her bed's like a creel, she can smell the sea, sees sunlit avenues, Paris, Marseilles, Paracletes, all good news, home in a house that creaks, she listens to the rain, she turns to speak, this is what she says.

Peter Two

You sift through trouble, don't get frightened, he'll no longer inform on you, before you throw, and strew his intestines, let go all you loathe, silence is your hub, a source for your brine, hands that you scrub, laugh at the cold, hear the clock chime, they'll never know, or remember love, forgive his broken wife, she sings in your blood, before the river flows, check the earth besides, and all that he sold, you pull on your gloves, take your time, shoulder what's to come, drink some wine.

Peter

For each little bit of you, if anyone enquires, don’t give them a clue, life isn't a stone, thrown into the fire, why should you atone, your little cup of ruin, is no more than a choir, you’ve still got the tunes, you know in your bones, what poisons your desire, but it leaves you alone, whoever reads the news, you see who's for hire, find your own truth, if no one 'phones, when you try to inspire, leave your home, dance down the avenues, sing on the wire, you’ve always paid dues, you're no kiss ass liar.

Bella four

Sober you can’t ask why, accept I’ve been chosen, before you deny, stare at dead places, you’re mouth frozen, with stupid phrases, instead, sing my favourite lines, our time done with roses, say what you can’t deny, beyond children raised, you neither shrank nor spoke, of all the great stations, at the graveside, you witness love's cloaking, clouds sail the sky, what settles on your face, neither cries nor provokes, you blew the traces, a flower at your side, just some little token, more a wish to verify, what lies broken.

Bella Three

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, singing as they go, your eyes can't fool, say wouldn't it be great, to find somewhere new, a place for the soul, where no panic reigns, forget mortgage loans, somewhere not cruel, but poised and sedate, no tickets due, problem hurricane zones, emotion's just a name, for love on a poncho, my good parts are true, I can firmly state, you'll love it here too, high above the flames.

Bella Two

Why live in a haze, sheltered from the wind, crumpled like cellophane, best not to moan, or burn a holy candle, life is only a loan, jump the trains, scour the land, for that perfect phrase, in your worn out clothes, enjoy the bland, you're not on your bones, make a step change, blow ten grand, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, do handstands, move out of that zone, chained to your days, let your heart expand, you can be great, don't you understand?

Bella

I need another home, help me to say, why you are gone, what I need to do, is unravel the waste, stumble on truth, in troubled zones, need solace each day, try not to feel alone, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, it brings me nothing new, here in my bones, there's always a way, to take control, what's left to the few, is fly against pain, don't sing the Blues, brilliant gnomes, whisper your name, waters groan, I'm going away.

Caitlyn Three

You just smile easy, know what to say, like a spirit released, a high heeled slumber, stones, wreaths, graves, make you turn and wonder, is it a coward's retreat, that finds no shape, but follows you the same, who has your number, when you say, my life's unencumbered, your insides screech, tunes jingle and play, will you live by the sea, roll in the thunder, forget the disgrace, stay out of trouble, find a certain conceit, allow it no grace, you're eager to squeeze, memories from your face.

Caitlyn Two

The love you show, dissolves and goes to waste, a fool in every bone, you have no need, to circle every day, be brave enough to flee, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, don't make it all you know, weeds, flowers, pieces, keep you engaged, you need to be free, is this why you've flown, not only the shame, makes you sing as you go, a house by the sea, tides and whisky and Spain, makes you happy, brilliant stones, whisper your name, You are the full blow, find your own pace.

Caitlyn

You Who own the night, the wind hushed fog dunes, makes you wonder why, you keep a cheerful home, beat away the blues, always on the go, forget the bitter times, all the bum untruths, bars, rain, gloom, suicide, dream of flying solo, always glad to see you, since that time you phoned, the air splashes by, the evening's getting cool, some waste all their lives, others touch the stones, kid themselves to look, what they had before, men whistle passing by, you laugh and hum a tune, say it's stupid to lie, this is what we do.

Ellie Three

it just goes to show, you don't need ease, in some lane dead slow, be witness to your sighs, care less about the belfry, or your weary lies, when you talk of loans, it takes energy to release, all that's gone, instead of the jibes, what will you see, behind all of your crying, is this stuff you know, how to strip out equity, keeping up a cheerful tone, don't try to be wise, it's nothing to me, you've marked many nights, better than the blow, you float on the breeze, heaven in your soul, who needs to please?

Ellie Two

if you knew how to give, we wouldn't need, bad places to live, this is no child’s game, wound around greed, chasing your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, cast them adrift, golden rings won't negate, smoke on the breeze, do you send them away, with all your little fibs, think it's just a wheeze, like shutting a lid, you're a fool to hesitate, bring each day no gifts. instead pontificate, living life by drips, not a big blue sea, the loving light hid, a lemon squeezed?

Ellie

You never mind, their curses and blasts, always try to be kind, face like a stone, when you feel trapped, it's best you go alone, won't get frightened, with men who are strapped, or say they're divine, who surround you like ghosts, first to collapse, knowing life is your own, your head doesn't rhyme, with scarves worn for Mass, that's another time, woe woe woe, like shoes on a last, all they do is moan, they beg for more wine, slurp it aghast, tell them that's fine, you cook with gas.

Mattie Three

You who always slight, priest's robes of purple hue, can say what you like, isn't the sea divine, your smile is cotton blue, beams another time, discard this crass disguise, a lover of so few, try to make it wise, you drink me like wine, ask what can I do, her hair is wild behind, it blows around my eyes, Fox TV's bad news, is my bridge of sighs, we live in dismal climes, my heart bursts in two, we could be sublime, I won't dodge your fines, have nothing to refuse, if I know what's right, get in front of you.

Mattie Two

Bring me some sweet sign, in darkness and grain blue, your eyes in constant flight, come near to me i moan, this cargo has its virtue, no one lives alone, we sail across the night, eager to light the fuse, say prayers for all our lives, you're even more an omen, struck by sweet perfume, temptations for my soul, spin me in the light, all you say is true, only God can decide, hold me growing old, console me with the news, for other lives laid cold, bells ring out in might, our journey won't confuse, your tears tell me why, I will die for you.

Mattie

I'm Lucky to pass this way, over there life's dear, evenings end each happy day, no one here is brave, or worries about the Seers, why bring such disgrace, they look at you and say, measure life not years, to broken laws don't pray, why define yourself by hate, drink a little beer, be gentle with your fate, all the times you're late, share a laugh not tears, bells ring out for play, rather than enslave, all the things you fear, let them go don't hesitate, if my hair turns grey, the sum of all this cheer, lovers why not calibrate, what's suddenly clear.

Faiza Four

He dances in the tide, his fame is just beginning, nails me with that smile, my mother asks what's new, she is not forgiving, love's not running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, he's many a famous night, it brings me back to you, god knows who does the bidding, have to break this news, who knows what's right, when he can demand anything, sunlight,water,sky, love blows down the avenue, lilac heads are dripping, he melts me lemon blue, his lips twist like knives, our trips to secret venues, his eyes the river wide, what else can I do?

Faiza Three

A cold bright day, warms your bones, Comrade death's cheated again, you give money to fools, you live alone, you smile don't drool, no one carries freight, when you're at home, except those who ingratiate, they'll need more proof, if they think you'll groan, when you're blue, there are no bad days, blown on weather zones, why explode your case, they say you're doomed, tell them to go, you're a woman without a curfew, who'll cheat any fate, wear a red raincoat, find gold in the grate, shine like a shiny stone.

Faiza Two

I'll dance to flutes, if i'm not too late, wine and sea reckless fools, don't make me groan, I'm a special case, in fresh clothes and Cologne, I'll borrow the moon, church and state, if you'll break my curfew, we are never alone, in what we hate, a promenade to our bones, tell me the truth, is our vision great, no one lives in broken ruins, maybe when you've gone, let me stake my case, shiny as a polished stone, you make me swoon, call me your fate, let us lie in stupour, love's not a duel.

Faiza

Sparkle like a jewel, laugh through all your tears, who needs to be cruel, you are great, what have you to fear, cancel all bad faith, turn my head you fool, you need me siren near, don't feel spooked, your ribbons bring you grace, perfume costs you dear, a twisted cool and gait, dreams dredge other rules, ached for visions dear, golden domes aloof, along the shipping lanes, my laden ships career, all of us who fail, dance this torrid purlieu, find a passage clear, nothing left to rue, ask for better years.

Imelda Four

Soft notes make you twirl, where else can you go, this life is your pearl, forget what's not great, in a life of soul, you're never one to hesitate, give the eye and glare, don't let them groan, fortune's always fair, you go against the grain, out there alone, with some handsome swain, it's not your long hair, plaided like a tow rope, that makes them scared, your songs make them hate, it's not them you own, bear them to the grave, your singing makes him stare turns us all to stone, you're not his little girl, everything on show.

Imelda Three

Lit like some ocean bar, well within your credit zones, searching for a forgotten Da, poor people pay your dues, yet you drink alone, he leaves you here to stew, you can only play La La, before asking for more loans, they only go so far, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, you need more shoes, your hair is like tar, Saints reveal their bones, something inside you whispers Nah, the trail is well used, you can't leave these homes, life circles around you, yours is not a lucky star, husband always needs right tones, this place is your Spa, tales of love a joke.

Imelda Two

Don't break holy orders, or claim upon your mother, all that stuff you swore, free to bestow, what it is you smother, a place without hope, can't you see the score, like an uneven solder, welded to useless mores, whoever comes up short, you'll curse a brother, fix him with the law, hard stuff behind your door, a life stripped without bother, then run away fraught, no book or deeds sought, brings you with our others, you ignore the call, run without a border, always be a lover, life within you's raw, better take another.

Imelda

I can't say let's go, or ask you to align, all those bitter sorrows, what you issue, burning with your fire, no one gets to choose, or chances to follow, on dancing wires, where you won't say No, I can play the fool, echoing what's right, braying like a mule, other than more fandango's, in every dreams cold light, there's a room without windows, a place smoky blue, where you won’t lose sight, of what is true, if you'd let me show, what I had in mind, riding out the blow, checking in the time.

Johnny Four

I throw away the years, every pie has its crust, the laughs and happy tears, life wears no crown, for those who say you must, in the Ocean towns, she came in like the deer, with a smell of musk, in hazy bars withstands leers, I knew she'd be hounded, spinning pennies in the dust, someone never grounded, what brought her here, against everything she trusts, a woman crystal clear, no book or Courtroom brown, hides the fact she's bust, I just let her down, blow flame across my fears, share bad jokes and puts, pray for those who disappear, somewhere in the dusk.

John Three

Let me engage, your lovely feet to dance, in rooms with dark spaces, you always play the fool, wait for kindness to pass, try to make life smooth, nothing's more to say, so little of pure chance, when you pull away, rage against life's Blues, lilac as a lonely fast, don't let them get to you, life is framed, your face is tanned, gliding down the freeway, tell you what to do, pull over make a stance, you're no fool, twirl me 'round again, make me bounce, say what you want to say, you'll get another chance.

Johnny Two

Since you've been at home, we don't know what to do, each night pray alone, sleep this time of day, hear you snore the blues, nothing more to say, you break the maddened stone, ask what’s up with you, who cares who atones, the walls are turning grey, sin is not your tune, you've eaten all your cake, say you have to go, to always play the fool, carry your bag of tomes, confined within this space, earn your piece of truth, lilac as a snowflake, sing and praise our bones, see the creep of moon, new horizons better than loans, take them as your due.
