Who will break the news, struggling to escape, at the stuff you blew, no horizon's bright, if you leave a stain, and you're always right, to make life a curfew, frightened of the waves, don’t know what to do, it’s nearly time, hear a donkey bray, you sit by the fire, before sunrise due, tears seep away, no one can reach you, ever wondered why, people pine for the day, long silent nights, if your moment’s true, love will find a way, rain falls on the roof, it’ll all be OK.

Naeve Two

Take the love you know, float it on the tide, sail it like a boat, drained by winter's blues, before you pass on by, the lovers that you threw, caught up in a cyclone, you’re going to be a bride, say you have to go, you will make it through, a heart needs to fly, beats this river crew, seeping through my bones, the wind rides out at night, breaking on the shore, all we ever lose, is sitting by your side, is he part of you, you always have to slow, catch another's smile, don’t think that you're alone, drinking holy wine

Naeve

Look up passed the road, try to look kind, a smile in your bones, the stars show the way, a cold white light, you're back here to stay, no need for a loan, you've walked the miles, what you don't own, there’ll be no claims, your face alive, you know what to save, through broken windows, your face ashine, for that other show, future days, won't burn out the fire, from being away, so there you go, you're home this time, before the cock crows, no longer a child.

Simon Three

How do you know, what people feel, in their bones, that splintered smile, walked by the sea, they’ll catch the life, don’t have to show, unlock the key, of your cigarette glow, why seek the child, in mountain streams, steer clear of strife, what's left to bestow, from other dreams, stuff you’ve sown, such a long time ago, to live without a bean, see each morning rise, the hand of fame now, is not all it seems, you don’t have to bow, to all your schemes.

Simon Two

Don’t come back this way, to see the ruins, hung as we separate, a tired game, I play cool, but dream of the day, just what it takes, a celebration at noon, you to remain, I can’t explain, there are no avenues, to keep me in shape, here in the shade, weeping for you, my thoughts drip like rain, are you made of clay, I howl at some tune, I’m not too late, no matter what we sing, or what we say, love must find a way, in yellowy spring.

Simon

I wonder if she's right, to dream of the sea, lilac as the night, she’ll dance and parade, make faces at the enemy, her soul works this way, the shouts and the fights, stake her release, time is her lightning, he r eyes bear the fray, it’s cold in the season, she wants away, what comes down the wire, before she flees, is tossed in the fire, she carries no dismay, is done with feelings, what are they anyway, bags weigh heavy at night, no fun to believe, we’ll always be tight, she’ll always love me.

Paul Three

It’s only half true, when you smell the Limes, on a windblown avenue, act like you don’t know, forget ties that bind, feel it in your bones, try to stay aloof, say you know what’s right, except there's no clue, you’re not alone, these desolate nights, let others keep score, don’t rage and argue, not like it’s a crime, let the fire warm you, you have to keep going, in the cold evening light, when the kid's phone, they speak of your virtues you’re not inclined, to know that you're through, It’s just a strange time.

Paul Two

The sun rises in steam, cars fill up their lanes, this won't wait 'till evening, beyond me the morning sky, still needs to frame, all that is carried outside, a rush down the freeway, coffee tastes the same, I need a good reason, to wait in line, it matters that you stay, not go off this time, my dawn novena, is stowed like a hurricane, my bones ache a treat, I know it’s not fine, between times I pray, ask for more red wine, bars bring a sweet release, do I have to say again, it’s not my swollen feet, that carry my name.

Paul

Don't turn away silent, you’ll go home again, maybe in a better time, do what we can alone, it need not bring shame, rivers flow on their own, laugh in warmer climes, no one is to blame, part of me is dying, beyond this war zone, the shifting hand of fame, a place you well know, returns us to the tide, all you need to say, wrapped up inside, when promises get broken, and spirits dance aflame, I'll bring you call tokens, love weighs heavy at night, howls in ancient places, waits for lamps to shine, will you stay the same?

Antonia Three

Before you came for me, who carried your light, bobbing on the sea, they say it isn't you, in whispered prayers at night, do they know the truth, somewhere at my feet, I lose all the signs, am I supposed to believe, even with the news, a power beyond my sight, am lost without virtue, lust is a bitter feed, it always asks me why, is there something to glean, by howling at the moon, words fall ill at ease, some mask an open tomb, it gapes at my knees, will you wait this time, if you could only see, how lovely is my smile

Antonia Two

Who can ever say, we’ll warm our bones, when we've been away, the picture's not bright, you can cry but don’t, home is not kind, thoughts that are splayed, where we come from, are not put on display, like this harvest light, with hardly a sound, there’s no gentle sky, maybe we'll take a train, like a winter's stove, warms us to dream, a horizon blind, we navigate alone, seeking what’s right, a line on my face, says just carry on, everyone in this game, stands their ground.

Antonia

Love holds the door ajar, your hair gleams and shines, you’ll travel very far, no need to suffer fools, or bendy trees in line, hear their news, talk about Da, he’s just another wine, lonely as a shooting star, the money he tooled, in a poor jaded light, splashed away in the pool, he needs another car, to furnish mother's lies, no room for scars, play by the rules, forget the hurt inside, it’s another part of you, you won’t sit on the bar, see the morning rise, hit the highway burning tar, you’re too wise

Isla Three

Why live in a haze, sheltered from the wind, crumpled like cellophane, best not to moan, burn or rescind, that you’re just loaned, jump the night trains, stay tight to the land, there’s no other way, in your worn-out clothes, enjoy the trip, you're not on your bones, make a step change, blow a thousand quid, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, don’t beat on their skin, move out of that zone, not chained to your days, let your heart skim, say life’s great, give a huge grin

Isla Two

Go on then be silent, you're only skin and bone, what am I a license, who demands what you say, the only song I own, down this highway, a taste that deepens, penetrates my soul, I float away lighter, who are you to state, the only pain is home, look at my face, this shell of the sea, has no need to groan, against my being, sing as you pray, don’t try to console, no one makes your day, or calls time to lighten, what you don't know, what makes you frightened, when you throw stones?

Isla

No one deceives you, without some pain, knowing what they lose, scrubbed by fire, you know what to do, include desire, they tempt you with a Brew, in a fallow land ornate, not too much to choose, like a bird on a wire, it's hard to disdain, the other drunks for hire, who you can see through, don't laugh again, bones will tell the truth, the land asks why, you live without stain, forget that patch of sky, a seeker of good news, you follow down the lane, some things you can't fool, in the morning rain.

Liv Three

She says from on high, is that the sea, don’t you wonder why, if it's all true, she’s as bad as me, eyes blink like jewels, a diamond sun burns bright, with hopes of eternity, she says life’s so brief, is it this crew, she enquires breezily, let’s sleep till noon, we’ll sail the sky, nothing else beats scrutiny, this cold April light, we're so sad and cool, who can expect sympathy, when we act like fools, on these long flights, we drink for company, don’t care if we're right, strangely at ease.

Liv two

Her manner always cool, many a life she’s blown, wish it were mine too, never crashing like the sea, an artist bright unknown, she continues to stay clean, no danger of any muse, creates but doesn’t own, says more is for fools, she won’t leave the street, doesn’t pray for calm, throw anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, she doesn’t want you, a loving need, for those who drown, brings no sense of ease, give us our daily news, make it warm as toast, she will always choose, to strip away her soul.

Liv

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, when others ask you why, look at the stones, you never fail, if you find yourself alone, studying the times, life’s a trial, you always find the style, can you atone, when lovers wail, and darkness marks your home, flip a coin see the sky, think of road and rail, best to leave this way, drink wine from broken cones, discard desolate mail, throw weeping hosts a bone, can’t be worse than Jail, laughing at your file, you’ll hit the trail, dance the lonely miles.

Nadia Three

You stretch the sunny days, smile an absent stream, now you're on your way, don’t bring me bad news, like a losing team, or say you know what to do, lying in the rain, by St Brendan’s quay, it kills me to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to release, a parish of broken rules, I’ll work and save, whatever the need, but always feel your nails, the lovers you took, made you dream, now you're just cool, meeting in a warm cafe', bridge of burned-out feelings, you sip warm tea and cakes, something’s missing.

Nadia Two

Is it just this time, your mother comes, to beat a different cry, anyone can phone, say what they’ve done, but nothing catches her throat, a fertile ground of whines, no hint of being done, we count the chimes, she doesn't come alone, wants to have some fun, always brings some other drone, it’s you who wait in line, pleading c’mon mum, shaking like a vine, it nourishes her bones, to see our little drum, it disguises what she knows, everyday a fine, she won’t waste a crumb, says it’s a waste of time, asking for the tomb.

Nadia

It’s you who brings hope, without worry at the waves, or care about the rope, never stoop to choose, you firmly show the way, nothing you can lose, you're not such a dope, to encourage open play, as if you wouldn’t know, when you get the blues, let others stand and gape, what you have is true, don’t wonder if you'll cope, always have your say, stand tall don't mope, separate what’s new, from a distant tide or sail, I’ll always stand with you, some things you can’t condone, it never is too late, to walk on battered bones, it’s what makes you great

Patrick Three

She won't take you, without a world to gain, what it is to lose, scrubbed by fire, how to remain. free of the wire, she doesn’t do feuds, makes sandwiches of paste, what's not to choose, anyone you desire, is hard to disdain, when you know what's for hire, what she's been through, don't laugh it away, your bones tell the truth, her lips won't ask why, you live without strain, or forget what's the time, the heart seeks good news, it runs like the Spey, some things you can't fool, winter’s here again.

Paddy Two

Nothing else to gain, a knife to your throat, why try to escape, they'll depart soon, blood on their boat, singing their tunes, you'll survive the wait, know in your bones, not to hesitate, never mind their hooks, you don’t need a throne, or the love of fools, mend that broken gate, you're not someone unknown, who needs a mate, there is only a few, they won’t use the rope, you’re no one's dupe, it's not too late, to let them know, this is not your fate, you don’t follow.

Paddy

If you cook with gas, turn the flame up, give it a blast, face like a stone, the way you love, beats going alone, silken ones who trap, like pullets cluck, fall and collapse, they ring you the most, roll in the muck, to stay at their posts, drink wine aghast, you’re no muppet, attend holy Mass, tell them to go home, consider them fluff, who pick at your bones, no one lasts, without some luck, who shouts Basta !!!! earn those bucks.

Jamie Three

You look like you rule, working the bread line, regarding other fools, you think you're great, at other's demise, stop before it's too late, does it make you feel good, what’s going on inside, such a face you tool, yet once again, your eyes dance like fireflies, they’ll have their say, it’s poor gruel, these cooked over lies, to all that you do, here in this game, you race for your life, but who holds the reins, poor burnt-out mules, may offer you hindsight, but is it not cool, to ask yourself why?

Jamie Two

Unleash my dreams, don't want to ‘phone, say what you’ve done to me, I'm not so stupid, who seeks to atone, in a search for love, the state of a has-been, who lives through his ghosts, is that what you mean, even if you knew, you once touched my soul, it's not something to rue, this is my scene, that you put on toast, your hair like autumn leaves, I hate where I'm going, a knife to my throat, ocean waves roll, you know where you've been, don't let out a groan, stifle your screams, I’m going I’m gone.

Jamie

My lover asks, were you ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, that won't leave you alone, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, I know my past, don't ever throw stones, at what you've torn, it stops you to grow, I like these chit chats, what is to spawn, where you leave your hat, with love in my bones, I whistle up a storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s on the mat, no one's forlorn, I’m built to last, a place in the hall.

Natalie Three

Who can just smile easy, and know what to say, when a spirit's released, a high heeled slumber, stones, wreaths, holidays, it makes you wonder, I play a coward's release, without hope or shape, maybe find it one day, did I have your number, when you started to trace, a life unencumbered, my insides screech, cornfields whisper and sway, I hear you in the breeze, waste of time don't bother, I'm a disgrace, you can roll the thunder, heavy with my misdeeds, a certain rising too late, I'm not eager to see, a memory of your face.

Natalie Two

You ask can we cope, if you could only help, to take back our home, why make me suffer, away from the Pen, no need for your buffers, stay out of my zone, you might mean well, but I’m better alone, don't bring in your mother, measure your shell, try to be a lover, we’ll roll with the blow, on bar stools and leather, our skin needing soap, with long gait and bend, I won’t be tethered, to you or your friends, we laugh at the rope, it dangles bereft, take all your hope, I have heaven.

Natallie

What do you care, put salt on my traces, tell me what to wear, tunes you play not easy, blue webs across my face, spun by the breeze, you say need to share, but there’s no kissing place, why put me here, in chains to the sea, so like your gaze, a dull line to serendipity, hard to know what's fair, when your voice is phased, lips that snare, down swollen streams, no one escapes, oh, so sugar-sweet, you're such a liar, to sing so great, are you aware, what you throw away?

Peter Three

You can sometimes squeeze, from each new way, a wish to live easy, God take me soon, my face washed grey, from hospital rooms, outside is a magnolia tree, love marks my day, lilac on the breeze, it's nothing new, she comes here to please, the wind goes boom, forges my frenzy, the bed's like a creel, I can smell the sea, sees sunlit avenues, Paris, Beirut, the East, this lightning news, in a place that creaks, I listen to the rain, turn to speak, what I want to say.

Peter Two

I can sniff trouble, but don't get frightened, no one informs on you, before you know, it’ll soon be time, let go all you loathe, silence is the rub, a source of brine, hands that you scrub, laugh at the cold, hear the clock chime, when will the cock crow, remember love, forgive this broken life, it sings in your blood, before the river flows, check to the side, and all that you sold, pull on your gloves, take some time, shoulder what's to come, drink communal wine.
