Jodie

My red lips flash ornate, in rooms where flowers grow, champagne cognac to chase, forget how much I blew, banish the need to know, I'll pawn all the jewels, won't be an ingrate, worry about the loans, celebrate what remains, I never once did sue, others who let me down, like larger parts of you, why worry with fallen gain, supper make do with bones, fish around in drains, believe me life's a ruse, dream of good days gone, waste no time on blues, wouldn't it be great, to belt it fresh anew, die laughing in the rain, feel you'll never lose.

Isabel

Hail a ship for France, say what you want to say, won't get another chance, don't let stages run untrue, if your life is framed, you're no fool, face the fact you're banned, if you let schemes fail, innocently look askance, tell you what to do, when others rail, try to make things smooth, why bother to prance, if evenings run dark pale, passion always passes, kindness might acrue, if you plan to sail, to some lonely purlieu, sliding down the scale, time has gone for dance, turn things around again, let us talk finance.

Hadley

We share jokes and put, hope risen to appear, like geese in the dusk, no one hires a clown, to be ushered in here, someone who lets us down, for those not fussed, we'll always give a cheer, one's we nearly lost, in our Ocean town, when the skies are clear, we'll sail the Sound, celebrate sunshine's thrust, he arrives like the deer, with a hint of musk, in hazy bars he's known, makes us forget fear, never on his own, we brush the falling tears, each night is a must, the laughs and happy years, howl before the dust.

Gloria

If I was on my toes around your fire, why be so morose, what is it you refuse, is me in that choir, my voice losing, another chance to show, balancing on strange wires, what I need to glow, now I'm just the fool, the one who enquires, who pays for these jewels, lessens pain more than now, exposes all the liars, by my age alone, blood is a smoky blue, why don’t you require, me to tell the truth, my God i look old, you don't need a sire, to say c'mon old bones, let's fix your tyres.

Felicity

I'll pray in the rain, swear life upon my mother, stuff you can't fake, hope is free to use, lifts the stuff you smother, a place of refuge, can you see that portrait, it looks a happy soldier, that's me in the frame, whatever money you lose, don't curse like my brother, still to pay his dues, hard stuff fires the brain, fools live without trouble, then run away, pity them under dread curfew, I'll dance unlike the others, desperate calls to ruin, you can say whatever gain, leaves you as my lover, spirits rise and fall away, I need you undercover.

Ella

I set the right tone, neither freeway nor the Spa, gets me off this joke, a trail that's well used, instead of burning tar, circles rise around you, Saints reveal their bones, they don't take me far, who does passion alone, doesn't need a feud, someplace to crash the car, to know what to do, best not to drink alone, at some scuzzy bar, he's not coming home, head out for the blue, wave at them ta ra, dance with all the dudes, mine is not a lucky star, safe within a credit zone, but am not yet ga ga, even if he never 'phones.

Dusty

Give no eye to trains, don't ever hear them moan, show that it's your way, forget what's on your mind, in this life of soul, you're not the lonely kind, singing makes them salivate, turns us all to stone, hands wrapped frame your face, you won't take fright, acting like a dope, for any truth they find, always rise against the grain, stand out there alone, don't worry if some hesitate, your songs let them unwind, say you are their own, not what you keep inside, bum notes make you quake, all your faults they know, see this as loose change, where else can you go?
