Paul
Give me a sweet sign,
in darkness and grain blue,
your eyes in constant flight,
come near to me i moan,
this ship's a place of virtue,
no one lives alone,
we sail among the isles,
how to light the fuse,
make prayer of our lives,
steer an even tone,
shattered by sweet perfume,
temptations that we know,
you are my light,
there never can be issues.
only we decide,
i am growing old,
who will bring the news,
to those lives laid cold,
bells ring out the night,
our journey fires the truth,
my tears ask me why,
i should lie for you ?

Lucky to pass this way,
each evening conjugate,
no one here is brave,
don't worry about the Seer,
he is just a knave,
measure life not years,
to broken laws pray,
don't define yourself by hate,
be gentle with your fate,
who provides the beer,
all the times we're late,
drunken innocent orator,
bells ring out for play,
rather than enslave,
be the one to delegate,
other things you fear,
why scream or hesitate,
let other fools drift near,
my yellow hair turns grey,
the sum of constant days,
lovers please celebrate,
you can be great.
Pilar
She dances in the tide,
her fame is just beginning,
nails me with that smile,
my mother says keep true,
she is not forgiving,
our love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
many a famous night,
it brings me back to you,
cafe's do our sinning,
let's break this curfew,
who knows if she's right,
when she can demand anything,
sunlight,water,sky,
love blows down the avenue,
daisy heads are dipping,
don't melt me lemon blue,
her lips twist like knives,
our trips to secret venues,
her eyes the river wide,
what else is new ?

Peaches
I'll dance with you,
if i'm not too late,
won't give you the Blues,
don't make me groan,
i'm a special case,
in fresh clothes and Cologne,
i'll borrow you the moon,
not church or state,
if you'll jump this curfew,
we are never alone,
pearl doves at the gate,
a promenade for your throne,
tell me the truth,
is my vision great,
or lies in broken ruins,
maybe a warm hazy drone,
lets me stake my case,
shiny as a polished stone,
you make me swoon,
take me as your fate,
to hell with rumor,
love's not for fools.
Patti
Cold white hate,
stokes your bones,
citizen comrades at the gate,
give money to schools,
you've got no phone,
you smile like a fool,
who carries freight,
when you're all alone,
except those who hesitate,
you need more proof,
a life given to moan,
i'll 'effin show you,
there are no bad mates,
blown on weather zones,
but they're on your case,
they say you zoom,
when you want to go,
a woman without curfew,
cheat that fate,
wear a red raincoat,
find gold in the grate,
shiny as a shiny stone.

Oriana
Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
who needs to be cruel,
my talk gives you grace,
what else can you fear,
if i cancel bad faith,
turn my head you fool,
you want me siren near,
don't need feel spooked,
my ribbons make you late,
perfume costs you dear,
a twisted cool and gait,
dreams are other rules,
ached for visions dear,
golden domes unused,
along the shipping lanes,
my laden ships career,
we carry so much freight,
dance these torrid Blues,
find a passage clear,
nothing left to rue,
set sail for better years.

Look at me i seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do i need new teeth,
am i always too late,
as if you'd care,
use me as a shipping crate,
what might have been,
it's not fair,
for a life of ease,
nights i sway,
without a slur,
i can take the folly,
don't sing of the sea,
you're not that aware,
these Bluesy evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes flare,
you say i'm great,
but can you love me,
look at me you nerd,
i'm shaping to leave,
are you scared ?
Wednesday 21 February 2018
Ola
Bum notes make you late,
where else can you go,
the session group look grave,
forget what's not fair,
in a life of soul,
you're not that gaga,
give the eye and hesitate,
don't let them groan,
show them fortune's way,
it's not your long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes them scared,
you go against the grain,
out there alone,
find it hard to delegate,
your songs make them dare,
think its you they own,
not those insides you tear,
singing makes you resonate
turns us all to stone,
those hands across your face,
all you need to show.

Oona
Lit up like some ocean bar,
well within the credit zones,
searching for a forgotten Da,
only fools pay your dues,
let you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
you can only wave ta ra,
before taking loans,
that won't get you far,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
your ravaged face is Blue,
your hair is like Safa,
Saints reveal their bones,
songs inside you whisper Nah,
your trail is well used,
but you won't leave home,
life circles around you,
yours is not a lucky star,
that seeks the right tone,
a motorway garage is your Spa,
tales of love a joke.

Ned
Don't break holy orders,
or claim upon your mother,
stuff you swore,
love's free to bestow,
all the stuff you smother,
a place without windows,
can you see my core,
like a scalded trooper,
strapped to useless more's,
whenever money's short,
you'll curse your brother,
we've paid our tort,
hard stuff behind his door,
fools live without bother,
then run away fraught,
no book or deeds bought,
will lie you with our others,
you ignore the call,
who'll pay a heavy score,
you've always been a Drover,
love within you's raw,
better take cover.
Sunday 18 February 2018
Nail
I won't say don't go,
or ask you to align,
my joys and sorrows,
what you refuse,
so many bright times,
leaves you the loser,
a chance to blow,
on dancing wires,
what you won't tow,
still play the fool,
who does what's right,
always someone's mule,
no more than show,
in dreams cold light,
you're looking old,
in a place smoky blue,
you don’t know,
anymore what's true,
a place without windows,
around your fire,
to warm my toes,
i think about crying.

Nellie
I throw away the years,
every pie has its crust,
the laughs and happy beers,
no life is too short,
for those who say you must,
in our summer town,
she comes in like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
in hazy bars she appears,
i knew she'd be caught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
she's never overawed,
what brought her here,
against everything she trusts,
a woman so clear,
no book or County Court,
hides the fact she's bust,
didn't do what i could,
blows flame across my tears,
shares jokes and puts,
hope for those who disappear,
geese rise in the dusk.

Neilson
You won't let me hail,
anyone else to dance,
rooms with darkened pales,
you always play the fool,
waiting for kindness to pass,
try to make life smooth,
nothing more to say,
so little of pure chance,
when you drive away,
rage against these Blues,
lilac as a lonely fast,
don't let them get to you,
my life is framed,
and 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,
seek a ship for France,
say what you want to say,
you'll get another chance.
Thursday 15 February 2018
Norman
Stand by my unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
i wait like a tramp,
listen to some muted song,
who would ever negate,
a need to belong,
better take a chance,
if I play this game,
the rest of it is Pants,
hoping I'm not wrong,
looking at the panes,
stream down a naked bar,
ask how much this path,
will shuffle my remains,
no more wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
say Heh Norm come the day,
conjure up a mighty dollar,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer sipped like champagne,
here life lets us dance,
singing in the rain.

Nancy
Wouldn't it be great,
to forget how much we owe,
celebrate what remains,
kick the need to long,
at rivers skim the stones,
within us all our song,
I watch for the rain,
tumble down a naked slope,
keep us from the drains,
we'll just bumble along,
fly with what we know,
assenting that we're strong,
fling the watch away,
shiny as the fallen snow,
trains arrive anyway,
you never let me down,
or worry about the loan,
I need no gown,
red lips ornate,
rooms where flowers grow,
pints and whisky chasers,
I never feel alone.
Tuesday 13 February 2018
Nora
I feel the joy of praise,
see the creep of moon,
new horizons can be great,
you say you have to go,
always play the fool,
laugh like a bag of stones,
not content with any place,
or weeping over single truth,
life is what we make,
you want to go alone,
not enough here for you,
no one still at home,
these walls are never grey,
don't go where's its Blue,
there is still our lake,
its not a game of thrones,
take me if you want to,
but not as a loan,
since you've been away,
i don't know what to do,
but each night pray,
the sea still surrounds you.

Nala
Living here's no paradise,
never makes the news,
northern cities aren't nice,
could as well be space,
stars and sea like glue,
put some food on our plate,
all we seek's a better life,
accept what we can do,
to shelter all their spite,
our song still resonates,
a feeling far from Blue ,
wait till you see my weight,
the village is our life,
always something for you,
not window naked transport lights,
this is what we create,
to sing with our crew,
we don't hesitate,
home is our easy night,
where we look for truth,
maybe it's the way we cry,
longing for the South.
Sunday 11 February 2018
Martha
Some nights i ask why,
if we can ever atone,
stars burn out like fire,
might as well be Mars,
for our credit zone,
we're still that far,
your gaze within my sight,
the wind black and cold,
gone another time,
if its kids and dogs you want,
don't get stoned,
just stay where you are,
when you hear me cry,
running from a broken phone,
it's not enough to sigh,
get a rusty car,
to bring you back home,
a flame is not a war,
no matter how we fight,
or strain our yellow bones,
a pretty boy doing right,
.
U can call me miss Shalome.
this ship's a place of virtue
we sail amongst the known,
how to light the fuse,
make prayer of our lives,
steer an even tone,
shattered by sweet perfume,
temptations that we know,
you are my light,
there never can be issues.
only we decide,
gate, play,great enslave
delgate dazed and grey
who provides our lady
we'll just bumble along,
fly with what we know,
assenting that we're strong,
fling the watch away,
shiny as the fallen snow,
trains arrive anyway,
on rivers skim the stones
to never feel alone.
wouldn't it be great,

Beat down my walls,
fists amidst the rain,
stand at infirmary's door,
thank god for strong bones,
you are my pain,
always searching for home,
what are you doing this for,
go away on a train.
I'm not divined by whores
why can't you atone,
dance away the shame,
blow love down a trombone,
you chant away the score,
your face a savage shade
I'll pay you roar,
don't spit on the floor,
spinning out your games,
no one needs you anymore,
you always miss the goal,
never want to say,
your time is too raw,
face yourself again.
love is raw,
feel the middle distance
you'll never make the Ritz
or show her tits
dancing in the Blitz
begging at the door
4 ,

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 that time,
same silver moon
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.

Maisie
You scatter all my deeds,
like ashes on the bar,
say it brings serenity,
blowout all my pay,
then fly afar,
what a terrible waste,
clinging to the sea,
like someone in a jar,
will others set you free,
it's a different age,
I drive a fancy car,
but still hesitate,
it doesn't fill my need,
that warm hazy fog,
a path to childhood dreams,
dancing on the waves,
all the stuff you're not,
lands among the wreckage,
songs aren't good for me,
instead they leave a scar, ,
holy water in my drink, ,
what's going on ?

Miriam
Before my fame,
i only thought of you,
and what you created,
shadows make strokes,
against this failing truth,
shocked that i'm broke,
you started to waste,
those successful tunes,
in that different age,
at the hospice alone,
loss shapes your gloom,
down to your bones,
reclaimed from the cafe's,
i would have bloomed,
made everyone gay,
sung a simple refrain,
lonely men soothed,
whistling and happy,
to begin again,
it's hardly new,
down the Freeway,
I've lost a few.
Milly
I have no need of you,
stepping off this train,
you don't need much view,
i hate to be alone,
or see anyone anyway,
on the street or Metro,
i haven't got a clue,
but you're no an angel,
asking what's your due,
you arranged the loans,
introduced me to the crew,
put jelly on my bones,
stay with the truth,
now my voice is raised,
i'm not your issue,
before my groans,
you tried to erase,
everything i called a home,
i sing successful tunes,
in this special way,
truth is a bitter fruit,
can't get around the news,
when the old man passed away,
no one sang the blues,
but i danced every day.

Maya
You wonder why i pray,
with kids like these,
they'd make you snort cocaine,
run a bath with foam,
the giving is your deed,
our loving isn't done,
I hold your face,
forget the disease,
catch horizons in the rain,
in the wind and stones,
help them find their feet,
assist their journey home,
guide me through these days,
make my troubles ease,
withstand the fray,
each part of my bones,
becomes suddenly free,
now we're alone,
d'you remember the forays,
our trips to the sea,
a scrimp for those holidays,
our dance of Thebes ?
Marina
How d'you call this news,
those troubled nights,
as if you knew,
and the different crews,
left hanging on the line,
they loved you too,
fire burns in the grate,
don't tell me how to cry,
for those who came too late,
it isn't them you fool,
dying in the tide,
those who cared for you,
no matter what you use,
however you may try,
hope is not immune,
who cares what is fake,
something's deep inside,
not a household name,
the cabin sings your blues,
pillows furl beneath the sky,
death brings no easy due,
even where you lie.

Molly
I get the Heeby Jeebies,
my soul strung out tight,
someone needs to set me free,
in her eyes Amour,
have to do what's right,
roll the Eau de Cologne,
she rocks me gently,
says everything is fine,
don't worry baby,
the soul of lost hordes,
all of them caught,
float up from the floor,
glamorous, perfect, serene,
she kisses me quietly,
does what others have dreamed,
a perfect score,
have i just died,
draw a toil of water,
by a train over the sea,
i swear to the night,
just let me reach the quays,
thank you Jesus.

Mary
Can you identify,
the aperture,
between moon and sky,
what has been emptied,
and other parts bought,
in this Neap tide,
don't need an inquiry,
where all truth is caught,
then buried,
who needs a dime,
when they are brought,
to the rich man's party,
some drive a Chevvy,
laugh as they're taught,
it makes them happy,
every walk of life,
ending with nought,
some bring their wives,
by security lights,
at the side door,
in the winter twilight,
you see the poor.
Marty
Don't blame me for fate,
that love doesn't exist,
life always comes too late,
the earth hesitates,
like it has a stitch,
it's not me whose afraid,
hey man gimme some change,
who is playing this,
it'd be a cheek to say,
spin before my face,
music from the hits,
creeps by the door frame,
spinning here in this space,
like a launderette,
waiting for my date,
a dancer gyrates,
with all the other misfits,
have never seen a wage,
in any other place,
when you figure it,
there's always an face,
and something missing,
Thursday 1 February 2018
Louise
Is there ever a chart,
to give us a line,
bring food to no marks,
forget about trouble,
a trolley suits her fine,
works without gloves,
she never walks far,
like so many other times,
each step a shard,
a cross for a move,
to where they drink wine,
she gives them a shove,
a deal done at Primark,
the waste is a crime,
life so stark,
she clears up above,
the rest of the night,
why worry about love,
in a supermarket yard,
lovely face tight,
a spirit with some spark,
she asks why ?
