Gina

On a white garden seat, I carry a load, it takes time to defeat, secrets like sea weed, ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne, wrap around my feet, when lovers trick or treat, perfume gets soaked, we drink whiskey neat, living by a swollen creek, my prayers take hold, my granny picks at sleeves, rifle's next to the sheets, she's no rolling stone, wants to protect me, cure my unease, isolate me at home bathed in love or yeast, there are still more beats, I measure in the gloam, tell him how I feel, no public telephones.

Frankie

You know what it means, to live alone, thoughts harden into dreams, I'm cool but burn with rage, even to atone, makes you turn away, this isn't my scene, journey's not my own, long past where I've been, maybe useless to fake, life as a trombone, one note always too late, it's never safe to heed, what i've done, but no one makes me plead, wave goodbye to fame, drop it like a stone, no one stops my flame, I'll mine a new seam, can still hear your moans, withstand any heat, mend my broken bowl.

Please don't act all fine, playing out your games, somewhere you’ll do time, maybe sing the blues, on a hard bedframe, it's all left to you, what don't turn out right, is never far from pain, sleeping bad drinking wine, strum your cretin’s tune, I’m coming home you say, call that good news, naked to your crimes, light dances on the plain, lost in your own designs, howling out what's true, on some dismal train, tears blur your bitter fruit, when you talk travel lines, slumbering in the rain, remember me to your lies, baby think again.

Destiny

Sweet talk makes me curl, say enough now Basta, am never just your girl, silken wraps you've thrown, stories that collapse, face moulded like a stone, plates occasionally hurled, nothing holds you fast, drives your work not care, life is just a loan, if you think that crass, worry on your own, you're not perturbed, if my time has gassed, keep the flag furled, I'll dance on brown chairs, make everyone laugh, raise my eyes to the air, Daddy stay there or burn, put love on the gas, let the flame whirr, I'm not the past.

Charlotte

Nothing left to negotiate, fortify your boots, make good other escapes, they're only clowns, who bring you news, say you're on your own, reason comes too late, to heal their broken looks, every legend needs to wait, you're not a rolling stone, want to know the truth, don’t worry about the phone, if you make such waves, it shouldn't bother you, will always have your say, separate the clones, leave this bluest bayou, you’re not coming home, when Oceans roll and sway, welcome them with food, step closer to the flame, plenty more in you.

Bethany

Seeks explosive release, in what she cannot find, nothing seems to please, she won't hear good news, love is just a grind, a cover-up for truth, with ahint of blasphemy, she doesn't do sublime, why givw them a treat, triea to hide the Blues, any nourish to make wise, asks who's there for you, shakes impatiently car keys, December's out of mind, work’s no Odyssey, chained to bitter tunes, haunting family crimes, she'd stoke another feud, forget any sense of ease, of justice place or time, the path to any freedom, another clock to wind.

Amelia

Tell me, tell me why, I'm like a burden shared, my lips dissolve their cries, who says run stay clear, remember fogotten hurt, avoid such vale of tears, am such a beautiful sight, had better take care, bells ring out at night, my life contains relief, in a shiny chiffon skirt, puts strong men to sleep, I walk a woman going by, through a city bared, each ones searches my eyes, throw flowers at my feet, roses for my hair, I am asked to entreat, scatter perfume on the air, to sing my song here, in darkness by green turns, how I sparkle first.
