Mel Three

Don't break holy orders, make claims on others, all the stuff you swore, free to bestow, the love of your mother, a place without hope, can't you see the score, like an iron soldier, welded to useless mores, whoever comes up short, you'll curse and bother, fix them with the law, explode without remorse, a life stripped of lovers, who dance on the blow, no good deeds caught, brings you to dozens, who ignore that call, run without borders, always be trouble, life with you is raw, better take cover.

Mel Two

I won’t say no no, or ask you to sign, away those bitter sorrows, what is your issue, do you burn like fire, when let loose, chances are I’ll follow, a bird on dancing wires, where you won't go, I can play the fool, echo what is right, pull out a tune, others dance fandangoes, in every dream’s cold light, rooms without windows, places smoky blue, where you can’t lose sight, of what is true, please let me show, what I have in mind, riding at your elbow, checking on the time

Mel

Do you throw away the years, everything becomes dust, the laughs and happy tears, life wears no crown, for those you never trust, in these Ocean towns, I arrive like the deer, with a smell of musk, withstand their leers, all their bounds, spinning pennies in the dust, I always hold my ground, what brings me here, shielding from their lust, a woman crystal clear, no smarter than the charm, hides the fact she’s bust, even if I’m down, blow flames across my fear, share bad jokes and butts, grace of those who reappear, somewhere is a must.

Johnny Three

Let me engage, your tiny feet in dance, rooms glow with dark spaces, I always play the fool, wait for kindness to land, try to make life smooth, nothing in this game, rides on pure chance, when you pull away, I regret my slow moves, a thief at lonely repast don't let them get to you, my life is framed, your face is tanned, gliding down the freeway, tell me what to do, pull over make a stance, I can face rules, twirl me 'round again, throw me off balance, say what you have to say, I need another chance.

Johnny Two

Since I've been at home, they don't know what to do, let me pray alone, sleep any time of day, hear me wail the blues, nothing more to say, like breaking up a stone, ask what’s wrong with you, who cares who atones, the walls are turning grey, sin is not my tune, have eaten all my cake, say I have to go, why always play the fool, act like it’s my totem, confined within this space, I’ve learned one piece of truth, pure as a snowflake, sing and praise your home, see the creep of moon, new horizons run like foals, always pay what's due.

Johnny

Standing by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, I look like a tramp, listen to the news, someone’s making waves, for us crud and chew, better take a chance, if I play the game, it’s either that or France, won’t run askew, what is there to gain, singing out the blues, nothing rocks my path, they can scatter my remains, wind will make them dance, someone to bring a few, say Huya what a day, drink before we're screwed, cigarettes and laughs, Oysters and Champagne, life’s here a balance, it sometimes rains.

Martha Three

Living here's no paradise, it never makes the news, people here aren’t nice, could as well be jail, stars and sea like glue, love's a broken gate, all we want's a better life, accept what we can do, need a little respite, my songs are well regaled, the arias too, not pity that I crave, this is how it lies, little pieces made for you, don't ask me why, what has been created, boils away like stew, I’m not an easy gaze, home’s no searchlight, where it beams on truth, naked street nights, pretty hues.

Martha Two

Some nights I ask why, can we ever atone, stars burn out and die, it might well be Mars, for all the credit shown, we’re out that far, sailing through bands of light, the wind black and cold, no place here to lie, if its kids and dogs you want, ham off the bone, don’t start new wars, can you hear me cry, running out of furlough, it's not enough to sigh, we’ll buy that car, warm our yellow bones, won’t stay where we are, the flame’s not right, space is our home, lightning rides the sky, we're not forgotten.

Martha

You scatter all my seeds, like ashes on the bar, nothing comes easy, blow away my pay, then fly afar, laugh at the terrible waste, I cling to the sea, like someone in a bottle, you won't set me free, it's a different age, you drive a fancy car, but still can’t wait, what about my creed, that warm hazy fog, a path to childhood dreams, makes me dance the waves, all the stuff you're not, a pearl among the wreckage, drink is bad for me, songs leave too many scars, your face is an ice rink, what's going on?

Sal Three

I want to be with you, stepping off this train, feel remarkably new, don’t wish to be alone, the tide’s washed away, tired streets and Metro, there is no clue, why it’s turned this way, give them their due, they blasted my bones, say that I’m saved, gave me roses to hold, what is your view, now the choice is raised, I am not the issue, before my groans, you tried to erase, everything I called home, truth is a bitter fruit, I’m good as each new day, play me happy tunes, kneel down and pray.

Sal Two

You wonder why I say, when winter leaves, another one’s gone away; make my bath with foam, fulfil gentle needs, our loving isn't done, I want to hold your face, forget the disease, catch horizons on the way, the wind still runs cold, helps me find my feet, it’s a long journey home, through the forays, sudden troubles ease, isn't it funny, each one of my bones, becomes amazingly free, maybe there is a cure, we’ll remember these days, our trips to the sea, the scrimped for holidays, our dance of Thebes?

Sal

You call this news, on these troubled nights, as if you knew, fire burns in the grate, don't tell us how to cry, those you leave too late, the different crews, hanging on the line, they loved you too, if it’s real or fake, something deep inside, makes them call your name, it’s time you fool, to sing with the tide, they care for you, no matter what you take, however, you may sigh, love is not your cake, whole worlds sing anew, rain clouds furl the sky, there are no easy dues, wherever you choose to lie.

Joe Three

Don’t care what you say, try to love excessively, make each day a holiday, geese with barren tones, make my blood ease, sing around my shoulders, they honk on their way, they’re late for the season, I'm just the same, in the blue dawn, stripped down like a tree, I trade between homes, two nights is a stay, it’s beyond any reason, there’s news of my game, being alone’s, a light in the sacristy, shining then gone, donkey’s bray, a moment seized, the gardens where I pray, beyond is the sea.

Joe Two

I get the heeby jeebies, my soul strung out tight, you better set me free, in my eyes amour, have to do what's right, splash the Eau de Cologne, rock me gently, say everything's fine, I'm always your baby, A host of lost lovers, all of them crying, rise up from the floor, I'm solemn, serene, you kiss me quietly, do what I’ve dreamed, a perfect score, am I just weaned, drawn a toil of water, sleep to the sea, I swear to the night, let me reach the quays, I’ll blaze like a fire.

Joe

When love begins to sway, you dance and play, whatever the time, it's a lonely path alone, not having a frame, an Iliad far from home, we sit out the fray, anchors take the strain, ride the tide and wait, listening to the stones, it’s better than to cry, we'll be gone, so far away, reasons more to say, let us not fight, our horizons honed, try to sail away, carry the flow, there'll be no stain, the moon is our gain, this strong lovely night, brings us the day.

Sarah Three

Can you identify, one easy thing, between moon and sky, what has been emptied, makes other parts sing, by this waterside, you need no inquiry, where dreams become nothing, and then buried, who needs a dime, when we all think, it’s such a good time, some drive Mercedes, laugh as they fling, this stuff makes us happy, each stage of life, ends in a blink, men kiss their wives, in a summer's twilight, you might hear it ring, a bell on a kite, some want to fly.

Sarah Two

Blame it all on fate, that I don’t exist, a trick played too late, the earth groans, like it has a stitch, love has gone home, will anything change, it depends on the playlist, be a cheek to say, take me by the elbow, play music from the hits, whisper on the iPhone, hearts dance in this place, smells like the pits, I walk around in a haze, a dancer from another zone, with a yellow list, turns to me and goes, why is life a race, when you let it spin,, luck always shows its face, what am I missing?

Sarah

It's quiet here now, after years of his need, my face smooth as stone, I still see the grave, where praise be, his soul is saved, we arrived in the snow, to this new territory, God only knows, grant me the days, where I act carefree, not confined by intestates, men with barren tones, say have a drink on me, cry on my shoulder, they plead for a stay, at this house of reason, to laugh is no shame, in the blue dawn, bells ring excessively, I make my way home, beyond is the sea

Asha Three

You keep trouble at bay, any life requires, problems look away, when beseeched for a loan, scrutinise the tide, you're not alone, stumble on a great escape, dampen cool desire, it's easy to be brave, drenched to the bone, a bird on the wire, will you take him home, an offering to be saved, like a cold fish knife, seeks same lonely fate, a walk on blue stones, passed Saint Elmo’s light, is this where he moans, I love the rain, a burning pyre, the taste on your palate, a soul on fire.

Asha Two

I still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, it seems so far, happy he's not barred, or left forlorn, my ma besides me starts, when she stamps the tar, like a man o war, he lives in an ark, right from the off, between them torn, they have great hearts, it’s not in the charts, my son knows the score', he’s gone too far, soars like a lark, lipstick, a shirt that’s worn, in a shed by a barn, she'll kill that tart, love has no form, things fall apart, near the tidal wall

Asha

Laugh at hopes betrayed, gather holy things, take them to my grave, make me give a truth, to every little fling, notes arrive on cue, what a dance they make, woven silks they bring, when they hide their face, if only they knew, love is not a circus ring, but murders quite a few, smoke gathers in the rain, they ask me to sing, the tunes of Billy Holiday, ships turn on their screws, I really love the spray, it blows away the Blues, gamble all and say, life to me is everything, won’t miss a single day, salt crushed lightning.

Roberta Three

I'll have you know, what I really feel, almost in my bones, my jilted smile's a strain, squirming in the creel, they catch it anyway, take my time and blow, this night on a wheel, rivers always flow, why ask for rain, bathe in mountain streams, I can live again, there’s plenty to bestow, with other crazy schemes, I’ll make a picture show, no need to go away, live without appeal, face each coming day, don't have to borrow, say how I’ve been, tell them Oh so so, dance in my dreams.

Roberta Two

Forget all the clowns, that come to woo you, half of them in chains, as loud as your woes, ships blow hooters, every song sings of home, not just in their glance, but down each avenue, who can fault your tan, you reign without a throne, the bars are full of losers, you’d rather be alone, nothing comes by chance, your times are fewer, forget about the past, barefoot walk on stones, you would never refuse, a life that’s gone, strange this coming down, aboard a Yankee a schooner, no swish of ballroom gown, you’re one to love her. Y

Roberta

You'll pay a heavy score, my face is lemon blue, the rinds are raw, no sense of ease, get back to the queue, never once say please, you think me a whore, sitting here in bloom, a fool for your cause, bad blood when we meet, you always kill my news, a flutter or a dream, hacking out your chores, you turn my life askew, why wait in furious pause, can't you see, the flowers of the moon, never wave gently, maybe I’ll roar, you'll never be my glue, stick in my craw, call in the troops.

Martina Three

If trouble's in your blood, in this place of whispers, who says it does no good, rivers you can name, don't need a chorus, repeat them all the same, times you say you should, be prepared for this, or go nuts, they'll find another way, just do what they insist, knowledge drives you crazy, maybe you need a hug, go away without a ship, rain that falls like dust, if you're free again, rush the middle distance, make the Ocean your frame, why choose, to worry about their lists, blow for tugs, you’ll ride the diagnosis.

Martina Two

How little you gesticulate, at your inventive best, when others sneer, berate, you open every door, mend all our fences, never get bored, shattered we begin to shake, drink like all the rest, we won't stop or hesitate, fools we sing forever more, you put us to the test, ask what's the score, the night's cool probate, resides in the West, no matter what toil it takes, forbidden troubadours, demand our presence, never leave us forlorn, but twist and name, whatever cask or blend, that sweeps away the pain, my good friend

Martina

Is this really the place, to start to cry, when even love is drained, the life around you shows, the best of times, now nowhere else to go, soaked upon the ocean main, the delicate airlines you fly, you always try to calculate, what there is to know, no longer hail the sky, wooden box or last throw, you once jumped bail, county lines let you by, beyond the spike of jail, your lips will never atone, for all the constant lies, like the stars grow cold, it's not easy to explain, what's going on inside, seeing your face strain, your eyes full of why?

Sean Three

I'm forever beat, even with a common air, but hope rescues everything, I need to shut up, heaven is a place to share, sometimes feel a little shove, in debt gone to seed, have a go at taking care, it's not easy being free, get dressed feel the bug, never short of prayer, signal to the up above, I know how to keep, a house and wooden chair, drink is my sole conceit, fire brings on the tug, lovely faces dance on stairs, lamp lights lit for love, can everyone see, the gaps between my hair, do I need new teeth, a smile takes me anywhere

Sean Two

Say you’ll get a grip, please don’t rage and bellow, give me that old lip, you don't need drugs to pray, lock them in the hold, find the need to get away, you always make surly trips, a manacled wretched clone, watch others dance and flip, don’t let your spirits fray, down unforgiving zones, lies in everything they say, they make your kisses drip, like drunken bozo's, with their lousy 'scripts, will you get some sleep, on your twenty stone, when faith makes a leap, wonder why your broken kip, fills every childhood moan, there’s another coffin ship, waiting as your home.

Sean

You like strong tea, tears lachrymose, to fill up the breech , never one to blow cold, you let yourself go , face crowned with thorns, jokes your repartee, might have once been so, your head starts to weave, littered with scorn , why beat that drum, here is your home, replaced with uncertainty, blue moon in your dome, you just want to believe, the kids have all gone, you and her alone, whisky a scouring stone, when they leave, do you try to atone, walk to the beach, admit that you're wrong

Raith Three

It's been a while, but there you go, I’m no longer a child, when women start to pray, or when the cock crows, you'll have your say, no need to find, what you already know, deep in your smile, a star shows the way, frozen in my bones, there are no trains, say you don't mind, you'd rather come alone, whatever the time, I’ll stay here a while, wrapped against the snow, you have great style, we sit by a fire, listening to the blow, your eyes look wild, lost in your soul.
