Hank
My eyes try to fix a place,
where we just carry on,
and no one feels the pain,
or cares for my bones,
a river rises all alone,
beyond any time zone,
when she sees my face,
the running line of alcohol,
red veined suddenly plain,
a time to stay alone,
a wolf howl at the moon,
not like coming home,
maybe i'll take a train,
like last winter's love,
we sparked around the Bay,
who knows where's the flame,
a trapeze of broken runs,
does our soul work this way,
how can i fasten fame,
acting like some walking tomb,
can we ever really say,
what makes a country tune ?

On these long flights,
side by side for harmony,
we are cool socialites,
why take a train,
or a sail on the lee,
this way there's no stain,
so far we're right,
who needs reason,
bags weigh heavy at night,
it's fun being away,
we won't ever concretely,
inquire about pain,
a long silent right,
that won't stand scrutiny,
a morning cold cabin light,
this horizon so bright,
a diamond sun all seeing,
she has hopes of eternity,
I want to be free,
she says from on high,
below us the sea,
who needs to wonder why?

Henry
I dream of her class,
silken not torn,
listening to the gasps,
struggling to be born,
broken unsought,
i smell forlorn,
i dance in the traps,
struggling on thorns,
a modern day iconoclast,
shuddering at what i've bought,
thinking it jejeune,
a penny for your thoughts,
what you say overlaps,
now that she's gone,
i hide under Burlap,
I'm sat here aghast,
how to break the fast,
it's useless i'm fat,
on the next mountain pass,
i'll have her caught,
love cannot last,
stripped of thoughts.

Helen
Your manner always myriad,
where a life is blown,
unlike mine let it be said,
never mean she brings the sea,
an artist bright unknown,
for this old has been,
if in danger of losing cred,
you cry don't frown,
I'll see you less,
I never leave this street,
and cannot pray for calm,
she shakes her keys,
with lipstick instead,
her skin golden brown,
she lights my bed,
a loving need,
for what is known,
no sense of ease stamps her feet,
our daily bread,
is warm as toast,
you who lightly tread,
down this path alone.

Hayley
What it means to cry,
within a screaming gale,
no use trying to lie,
in your bones,
you don't need a trial,
to find yourself alone,
studying a time,
when all your measures fail,
and you search for style,
can you atone,
when love forever fails,
and shame marks your home,
flip a coin see the sky,
talk of finding sail,
you always leave this way,
drink wine from broken cones,
search for desolate mail,
throw stones at ghosts,
say it's worse than jail,
forsaken all the while,
when you hit the trail,
walk that lonely mile.

Gerald
A worn out empty feeling,
seeking hot cafe' and cakes,
the pain of something leaking,
she brought me the news,
like a gun man faces,
when he knows the truth,
never mean,she gave me the sea,
an artist bright and unfazed,
for this old has been,
looking for something new,
a need to get away,
she heard the Delta Blues,
who never left her street,
tho' she worked and saved,
whatever young women seek,
it sends me reeling,
falling as the rain,
on St Anthony's quay,
kills me with her being,
on stretched out sunny days,
her smile's an absent queen,
now she's going away.

Gabriel
Tell me, tell me why,
they teat me like a seer,
my lips dissolve their cries,
who says to run clear,
call for stolen times,
demand a veil of tears,
i command a beautiful sight,
candles scent their fear,
bells ring out the night,
my life contains all grief,
a yellow robed proud engineer,
fresh from their sleep,
I walk like a man of dreams,
through the city streets,
they scream desolate screams,
will they ring my feet,
slash or burn my ears,
ask the elders to entreat,
our ship leaving Tyre,
they love orators here,
in darkness and green light,
i'm ready for the spear.
Gerry
She seeks explosive release,
what she cannot find,
nothing seems to please,
she won't hear good news,
love is just a crime,
a cover up for truth,
hear the hiss of blasphemy,
she doesn't do sublime,
or give anyone a treat,
why disguise the Blues,
or nourish her mind,
she's never there for you,
she shakes her keys,
December in warm climes,
is no Odyssey,
filled with loving need,
for the family chimes,
she'll stamp her feet, rather bleed,
forget a sense of ease,
or justice time,
our daughter's genie,
is another rhyme.
no one takes you for a fool
find an Ocean to play,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
dancing on brown chairs,
when you tell lover's lies,
money you tooled,
in a poor welcome light,
sunlight on the lilac,
you're 38 and cool,
but no more sighs,
bells of what you're doing,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
always opens the gate
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,
with me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,
a tune with broken tones,
in that sixties scene,
when you left home,
you didn't hesitate,
to polish the chrome,
the moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
the wind going boom
hold the clock chimes,
run outside the room,
live generous lives,
like you never rue,
brave enough it rests nearby,
what settles on the breeze
to rescue God or try,
brush away disease,
laugh at why you're cold,
what has come to be,
dance on love you sigh,
sing that song you sold,
growl it like a lullaby,
before you die
you're no salamander.
.panic shall not reign
who holds their reins?
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
by Calendar or the sea,
take Cium
the bird who has flown,
it was only fame,
singing as she goes,
drunk as a fiery contralto,
dance amongst flames,
problems the wind blows,
the love that was shown,
dissolves gives way,
all that you owned,
keeps you engaged.
cafe's swell with rain,
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
don't let panic reign,
like a hurricane zone,
try to circle the domes,
we are leaving Salerno,
you have got my tone
knowing not enough to see,
would you let her tumble,
tired of this campaign,
across this shining bite,
that gives no easy news,
against the water's might,
the Americas of circue.
by mountains and ruins,
lovers only hesitate
she never left a family’s gate,
but came here to sing,
a woman who knows she's great,
that beckons any time,
next to me like a bride,
around a constant why,
the land within our sight,
an old man and his wife,
a voyage for the rate,
set your almond eyes
birds sing out of tune
drain summer into June
sweep up with the moon
not present castigate,
hope on a midnight wire,
we are not alone
in this lasting light,
home provides no clue,
God knows of your plight,
don't try to collude,
say your cards are marked,
you're never that far,
to stay where you are,
in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you perorate.

Nothing more to negotiate,
sing a song by Frieda Payne,
seek a holy escape,
they're only bones,
that bring you home,
tell them you're not alone,
reason says its not too late,
to heal your broken gaze,
like a brigand seeks escape,
you're not a rolling stone,
all of life brings you hope,
not worrying about the rope,
if you disturb the waves,
bring direction into play,
you'll always have your say,
separate his take,
for a distant tide or sail,
find an Ocean to play,
don't hide your gains,
survive while a lover waits,
step closer to the flame,
temper fear, never wait.
a knife to the bone
plates occasionally hurled,
nothing holds you fast,
makes you torn or care,

Father
Could you even care,
why i feel so rotten,
swollen beyond a dare,
have you read the news,
within your open wallet,
i'm in love with you,
your hand around me curls,
laughs when i'm startled,
besides the running Burn,
carry on won't you,
under trees or car parks,
i'll always stay true,
anchors won't bind this girl,
ships roll by forgotten,
i'm not about to learn,
go cold before your stare,
God is not for mocking,
when you kiss less fair,
what flags have you unfurled,
can't you see me rocking,
is it me you've turned,
lost among the blossom.

Sweet talk makes you curl,
just say enough, Basta,
never just a candy whirl,
silken wraps you've thrown,
but always collapse,
face molded like a stone,
plates occasionally hurled,
nothing holds you fast,
makes you torn or care,
life is what you own,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
now time has passed,
you're not that girl,
dancing on brown chairs,
singing songs that pass,
your bum in the air,
but keep or burn,
your love on the gas,
turn the flame down,
make it last.
the way you hook,
when you tell lover's lies,
money you tooled,
in a poor welcome light,
sunlight on the lilac,
you're 38 and cool,
but no more sighs,
it's useless to hesitate,
the knife's on the bone,
always too late,
never safe to heed,
the bells of what i'm doing,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,

Please don't act all fine,
playing your games,
somewhere a chime,
or maybe the blues,
some lousy frame,
it's always you,
never turns out right,
far away from pain,
sleeping bad, drinking wine,
what a bum tune,
coming home you say,
call that good news,
naked from your crimes,
no light across the plain,
lost in your own designs,
you haven't got a dime,
waiting for a dismal train,
passengers hum no sunshine,
when you talk coastlines,
when you feel rain,
remember those lines,
remember who gains.

Frederica
soft o, hard i, hard a
you look like you rule,
dancing on the bread line,
who taught you the rules,
you think you're great,
at other's demise,
stop before it's too late,
what makes you so cruel,
stuff going on inside,
the face of Miss Cool,
even in pain,
your eyes are like fireflies,
looking to make hay,
the way you doodle,
cooked over lies,
is this what you do,
here in this game,
a race for your life,
who holds the reins,
a cracked open pool,
may offer you hindsight,
but not born to fool,
if anyone asks why?

You know what i mean,
loving how the Rolling Stones,
narrow faces to a scream,
i'm cool but burn with rage,
even if i atone,
she always opens the gate,
this isn't my scene,
journey's nerves are cloned,
long past where i've been,
useless to hesitate,
the knife is on the bone,
it's always about too late,
never safe to heed,
the bells of what i'm doing,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
i unwrap the scheme,
can still hear the groan,
who will take the heat,
when i'm coming home ?
where are our ghosts
the dreams we have kept,
just leave us alone
what we have left
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,

Florence
From her white garden seat,
she carries a load,
that time takes to defeat,
secrets like lemons steeped,
ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne,
she whispers her feelings,
when lovers trick or treat,
she surrenders perfume soaked,
to drink whisky neat,
living by a swollen creek,
the bible takes a hold,
and granny rolls her sleeves,
a rifle next to the sheets,
she's no rolling stone,
what better cure than ease,
won't bathe in wine or yeast,
isolated but still at home,
there are no more feasts,
she'll measure those beans,
there's no public telephones,
down fields of blue wheat,
she's not alone.

i'm not a fool to fawn,
before altars or anything like that,
my heart beats without scorn,
i want to tell the sea,
from my roaring raft,
there's still a need to dream,
spirit an ancient worm,
from our little chats,
sail into a perfect calm,
need to spell this clearly,
roar like a big cat,
say this's not some scheme,
from a love that's torn,
losing life on the flat,
my giving isn't done,
ride rails, fly across dawn,
adjust my Ray Bans,
this girl's coming home,
gallop through a field of corn,
my lover asks,
dance like you were never born,
how's that a gas ?

Forget that you're better,
those that you kid,
could they stick together,
the Fleet's here for booze,
like little kids.
and there's more good news,
love is not undressed,
where you laugh and skip,
plenty of time to rest,
no time for Tuesday's Blues,
rolling off your hips,
it's the time for truth,
forget easy duress,
or giving the slip,
to hopes at their crest,
wearing a little dress,
kissing your finger tips,
Juke Box at your request,
would you be lesser,
wonder if stripped,
you still read his letters,
wiser what you miss ?

Franny
Who can dream of empathy,
sitting on a wall,
boom of a broken sea,
i see her eyes awake,
dancing on thorns,
she reads me or takes,
each day of uncertainty,
echoed in my calls,
an absence of feeling,
who wants to stake,
a fear of being torn,
so i hesitate,
someone asks me,
a penny for your thoughts,
what about infidelity,
so useless really,
being a liar adrift forlorn,
waiting for the next scene,
uncertainty forgets reason,
wondering if i'm born,
within this season,
sat here in the lee,
shuddering if i'm caught,
this is not me,
lemonade for thoughts.
we can still blether
we've heard the news,
we are not tethered,
throw away the rope,
taking planes home
just let us be,
do what we say we'd do,
faces strong as stones,
no need for your views,
tickets from the Pen,
carry tiny worms of hope,
deep within our breasts,
don't ask how we slept,

What dreams have we kept,
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
leave us alone thank you,
our skin might need soap,
we've heard the news,
we are not tethered,
or thrown away the rope,
just let us,
do what we say we'd do,
faces strong as stones,
no need for your views,
tickets from the Pen,
carry tiny worms of hope,
deep within our breasts,
don't ask how we slept,
or what we know,
on ships or stations left,
see us as lepers,
taking 'planes home,
baulk at our caress,
you might mean well,
asking if we can cope,
can you help,
looking at our bones ?
when you casll for grease
you never throw stones
What you created,
whith me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,

in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you perorate.

Your face at the zone,
somewhere far from ecstasy,
tells me all we know,
far away from time,
or daily political commentary,
a life combines with mine,
your neck smooth as loam,
when your torso pulls free,
helps me rest your bones,
on Sunday's drink wine,
and you my lover seize,
love from this turbulent clime,
resist life's fine tooth comb,
dance like a honey bee,
not the smell of scones,
or a house besides the sea,
at the bottom of the cone,
some other fantasy,
as our bodies list and groan,
let us dare to be,
angels coming home,
watching morning TV.

a e o, try hard and soft a, care/understand
What if you care,
that pull on my traces,
don't you understand,
the tune in blue trees,
a web across my face,
spun on the breeze,
you still need to share,
heaven's no kissing gate,
when you send me there,
in chains to the sea,
unlike your gaze,
those hymns to serendipity,
hard to know what's fair,
when your voice is raised,
lips that snare,
down fallen streets,
no one runs or hesitates,
sugar sweet,
you're not a liar,
to sing so great,
were you aware,
of passing this way?
Eamon
We live or die in here,
the first one offers wine,
others circle near,
bereft of drama or lonely stars,
our debts are high,
the journey is never far,
a moon bright trees sere,
each place lit with inner light,
no one hides their fear,
whoever makes their mark,
another wonders why,
clips a happy start,
lemon tart as tears,
chills a sparkly birth right,
see the rise and demise,
of easy danger near,
before any whispered sigh,
this prison on the weir,
gives you the right,
forgives previous tears,
on walls is written life,
cool,considered, clear.

Ena
In a room that creaks,
listening to the rain,
she turns to speak,
this is not my tune,
she says,
the song is too crude,
walls washed green,
the moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
Paris and sunlit avenues,
not somewhere opaque,
free from the Bues,
wrapped in a cotton sheet,
she pulls at my traces,
her long gait and knees,
outside's a Magnolia tree,
the bed's like a cradle,
you can smell the sea,
sometimes she squeezes,
from life taken,
a manner to sleep easy,
love marks her day.

You pull on your gloves,
take your time,
say you're no longer in love,
remember which tune,
that forgives broken lives,
it still beats true,
heaven's a cover,
when you reach that line,
do you sing it in blood,
want me hum it for you,
hold the clock chimes,
run outside the room,
hold all those who scrub,
live generous lives,
don't always find the rub,
like you never rue,
mysteries of your crime,
hear the wind going boom,
listen to what's above,
shudder with the wine,
fly like a released dove,
you're not frightened.
before we go and blow it,
what settles on the breeze,
brave enough it rests nearby,
detests a summer’s loathing,
to rescue God or try,
brush away disease,
laugh at why you're cold,
what has come to be,
dance on love you sigh,
sing that song you sold,
growl it like a lullaby,
before you die
you're no salamander.
.panic shall not reign
who holds their reins?
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
by Calendar or the sea,
take Cium
the bird who has flown,
it was only fame,
singing as she goes,
drunk as a fiery contralto,
dance amongst flames,
problems the wind blows,
the love that was shown,
dissolves gives way,
all that you owned,
keeps you engaged.
cafe's swell with rain,
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
don't let panic reign,
like a hurricane zone,
try to circle the domes,
we are leaving Salerno,
you have got my tone
knowing not enough to see,
would you let her tumble,
tired of this campaign,
across this shining bite,
that gives no easy news,
against the water's might,
the Americas of circue.
by mountains and ruins,
lovers only hesitate
she never left a family’s gate,
but came here to sing,
a woman who knows she's great,
that beckons any time,
next to me like a bride,
around a constant why,
the land within our sight,
an old man and his wife,
a voyage for the rate,
set your almond eyes
birds sing out of tune
drain summer into June
sweep up with the moon
not present castigate,
hope on a midnight wire,
we are not alone
in this lasting light,
home provides no clue,
God knows of your plight,
don't try to collude,
say your cards are marked,
you're never that far,
to stay where you are,
in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you perorate.

Always sing your tunes,
not scrub away tour thrills,
when you need the truth,
life is not some nosegay,
that anyone can spill,
or make you feel safe,
give money to every fool,
find ways to laughter still,
draw comfort from the Blues,
sing them every day,
they will never kill,
the love you give away,
forever dream of good news,
nor worry at the chill,
if they put you in a refuge,
douse yourself with perfume,
life won't become shrill,
see your petals bloom,
don't let a lover's curfew,
drive you to fall ill,
act holy with his moods,
reduce him to nil.

U I O
Don't fall for anyone's Blues,
sing on the wire,
you always pay your dues,
life isn't a stone,
taken to the fire.
why should you atone,
whoever reads the news,
think who is for hire,
make your own truth,
philosophers in their bones,
say poison your desires,
find your own home,
read all the books,
they always inspire,
don't overlook,
your little place of ruin,
why be a denier,
wear jeans rock those tunes,
each little bit of you,
everyone else enquires,
give them more than clues,
you're not a liar.

Deborah
Drunk enough to ask why,
accept she's been chosen,
before you deny,
laugh at all her crazes,
what she tries to provoke,
with stupid phrases,
sing instead her favourite lines,
our time goes by unspoken,
accept the heaven's cry.
outside of your praises,
neither shrink nor coax,
those wonderful days,
at the grave in time,
to verify love's soaking,
a cloud sails the sky,
what settles on your faces,
laugh at these cold bones,
before you blow the traces,
a flower at your side,
just some little token,
more than any pride,
run from being broken.

What you hold consistent,
remains being single,
swallows resistance,
your search for the breeze,
sometimes the tingle,
the song of the free,
do you hear my canticle,
an assembly of jingles,
sometimes you kiss,
my quotation of pieces,
i've learned to dangle,
when you're on the sea,
or do you stand faceless,
each time finingle,
a wind lashed promise,
that you laugh guiltless,
instead of that ring,
on the blue Ithmus,
will you turn sunlit vistas,
dance and mingle
but come back to us,
all my blown kisses,
across tide wood and shingle,
what's not there to miss,
waves on the Dingle ?
Dora
Why live in a haze,
sheltered from the wind,
battered like cellophane,
best not to moan,
or burn a holy candle,
life is only a loan,
do you buck the rain,
scour the land,
for a perfect phrase,
in your worn out clothes,
enjoy the contrast,
you're not on your bones,
make a step change,
blow the ten grand,
find love instead of trade,
when someone groans,
you don't understand,
move out of that zone,
chained to your days,
can your heart expand,
in greater ways,
or not understand?

Donal
My good parts,
i firmly state,
are for your heart,
i look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything comes around too soon,
i'm cool my eyes dart,
say wouldn't it be great,
to make a new start,
to go and live in Vera Cruz,
she's poised but waits,
doesn't hear more bad news,
a psychiatrist for her part,
emotion's only a name,
i'll sell the car,
she'll take it that far,
smiles and hesitates,
kisses me beneath the stars,
you tear me apart,
i'm the fool you say,
you're not so smart,
she holds my face.
