Matty
Look at me I seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do I need new teeth,
I’m always too late,
as if you'd care,
step on me like a crate,
what might have been,
is not fair,
just need a bit of ease,
nights I sway,
without a slur,
I can take the strain,
don't sing of the sea,
you're not that aware,
these fine evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes blur,
say I'm great,
but can you love me,
do you dare,
I'm shaping to leave,
are you scared?
Sunday, 29 November 2020
Eline Three
Your love make me faint,
where else can you go,
my eyes look grave,
forget what's not fair,
in the life of soul,
I’m not that square,
take my hand and hesitate,
don't make me groan,
show me the milky way,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes you scared,
I go against the grain,
out here alone,
find you hard to relegate,
my song is my lair,
think it’s me you own,
inside this magic fair,
the howl resonates,
world's not made of stone,
hands across my face,
all you need to know.

Eline Two
Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s too much bother,
stuff you swore,
love is free to crash,
all the stuff you smother,
a window without a sash,
can you see my core,
belly like an oven,
alive with burning flaws,
whenever money's crap,
you curse my brothers,
say love’s not on tap,
hard stuff behind a door,
fools live without shutters,
then run away fraught,
book and deeds lashed,
I won’t lie like the others,
will ignore their cash,
pay a heavy score,
I’ve always been another,
scent for me is raw,
better take cover.
Friday, 27 November 2020
Eline
Lit up like some ocean bar,
within the hurricane zones,
I search for forgotten laws,
only fools pay their dues,
let you drink alone,
leave me here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the lining folds,
start to shine the parts,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
my ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
where’s he gone your Da,
this trail is well used,
far away from home,
does life circle around you,
mine is not a lucky star,
sometimes hits the right note,
this decking for a Spa,
tales of love a joke.

I throw away the years,
every age has its past,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those you trust,
within our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
hazy bars you step clear,
I knew I’d be caught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
am overawed,
on what brought me here,
bathed on this tidal flood,
for you to be sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact I’m bust,
what I sought,
blows flame across my fears,
brings me all the luck,
hopes before you disappear,
riding on the dusk.

John Three
You won't see me hail,
anyone else’s prances,
on roads of darkest pale,
always play the fool,
wait for kindness to pass,
no path is smooth,
nothing more to say,
a gift of pure chance,
when you come my way,
I rage against lost feuds,
lilac at a lonely fast,
they don’t get to you,
life is like a freighter,
and our faces tanned,
pushing down the highway,
I know what to do,
pull over make a stand,
you're no fool,
study me again,
test your eyes for balance,
say what you want to say,
give me a chance
Tuesday, 24 November 2020
John Two
Stand by an unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
I wait like a tramp,
Inside hear some muted song,
who would ever say,
I used to belong,
better take a chance,
play this game,
maybe go to France,
hope I’m not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream against a lovely bar,
wonder how much it costs,
shuffle what remains,
no more wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
Heh Pal come this way,
put something in my pocket,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer like champagne,
my life dances,
praise each sweet day.
Monday, 23 November 2020
John
Wouldn't it be great,
to forget how much we owe,
celebrate the remains,
beat the times gone wrong,
when rivers skinned our bones,
within us all our song,
I watch for your face,
tumble down a naked slope,
save us from the rains,
we'll just bumble along,
laugh with what we know,
assent that we're strong,
fling the watch away,
spinning as the wind blows,
trains arrive all day,
I’ll never let you down,
tap you for a loan,
you have no need to go,
red lips ornate,
rooms where flowers grow,
pints and whisky chasers,
you’ll never feel alone.

Marta Three
Living here's no paradise,
never makes the news,
it’s hard to be nice,
might as well be space,
people walk around like glue,
need food on their plate,
everyone wants a better life,
show what they can do,
away from all the spite,
our song still resonates,
a feeling far from Blue,
in an almost constant state,
this barrio is our life,
always something here for you,
under naked sodium lights,
this is what we create,
to sing within our blood,
we don't stay up late,
home is our easy nights,
when we look at truth,
will be whem we die,
laughing at our youth.
Saturday, 21 November 2020
Marta Two
Mornings I ask myself why,
can we ever atone,
pale as my children’s eyes,
might as well be Mars,
for all they know,
we're still that far,
they laugh within my sight,
the wind is black and cold,
you’re here another time,
them and dogs you want,
don't get stoned,
remain calm,
when you hear me cry,
running from a broken phone,
just don’t sigh,
say here’s another scar,
to keep you at home,
a battle is not a war,
no matter how we fight,
or strain our yellow bones,
hold me tight tonight
Friday, 20 November 2020
Marta
You drape all my needs,
like seaweed on the bar,
salt brings serenity,
blow all my pay,
then fly away afar,
what a terrible waste,
clinging to the sea,
like something in a bottle,
it won’t set you free,
a different age,
have to stamp the tar,
still you deliberate,
roll out all my deeds,
in a warm hazy fog,
childhood dreams,
dancing on the waves,
all the stuff you're not,
instead we view the wreckage,
love's no good for me,
too many scars,
holy water is my drink, ,
what's going on?

Sal Three
Can you identify,
which back door,
lies between moon and sky,
what till has been emptied,
and other parts thrown,
on this Spring tide,
don't need an inquiry,
when truth is bought,
then buried,
witness the crime,
you know the score,
during this black night,
some drink whisky,
laugh like they're taught,
it makes them happy,
every walk of life,
ends in a nought,
you don’t need a knife,
security lights,
pool on the floor
in winter’s fastness,
there rise the poor.

Sal Two
Before my fame,
I thought only of you,
and what you craved,
shadows pass down in smoke,
against an awful truth,
shocked again I'm broke,
you always waste,
my successful tunes,
in this different age,
at the clubs before,
long vibrant rooms,
I stripped to the bone,
and inside the best cafe's,
made them swoon,
through long nights and days,
I held a simple note,
lonely men soothed,
their betrayals atoned,
to begin again,
is hardly new,
this serenade,
is called lemon blue.
Sal
You wonder why I pray,
with kids like these,
they'd make you use cocaine,
run a bath with foam,
won’t live by your creed,
my loving isn't done,
I hold your face,
forget to say please,
see horizons in the rain,
the wind and holy stones,
will help with our needs,
assist the journey home,
fire us through dreary days,
make our troubles ease,
withstand the fray,
forget the lonesome tones,
now we’re suddenly free,
and alone,
remember the crazes,
our trips to the beach,
a scrimped for praise,
our dancing sea ?

Sarah Three
You scream the news,
in troubled nights,
as if you knew,
all the different ones,
left hanging on the line,
I loved now gone,
fire burns up the flue,
tell me how to cry,
when you look so blue,
it’s not me you unlocked,
swimming on the tide,
everything you held and lost,
no matter who you use,
however you may try,
you are not immune,
who cares that I’m crocked,
something deep inside,
shines outside my shock,
who will smell my perfume,
strange pillows furl the sky,
death brings no easy due,
even when you die.
Sunday, 15 November 2020
Sarah Two
I’m set to freeze,
my soul strung out tight,
someone get me free,
in your eyes amour,
do what's right,
you know the score,
rock me gently,
say everything ‘s fine,
don't worry baby,
the hearts of lost souls,
all entwined,
roll around my floor,
glamorous, perfect, serene,
you kiss me quietly,
hold what others have dreamed,
ever so tight,
have I just died,
and loll on water,
a star across the sea,
I swear to the night,
I’ll find some ease,
I’ll be alright.
Saturday, 14 November 2020
Sarah
Don't stay up too late,
say that love squarely exists,
tell me get my skates,
the earth hesitates,
like it has a stitch,
I’m not afraid,
someone says give me change,
the pavement is playing this,
it'd be a cheek to say,
spin your plates,
he wants to see my tits,
creepy by the door frame,
walking by his place,
it’s s like a launderette,
tumbling out my fate,
his little smile migrates,
with all the other misfits,
who’ve never seen a wage,
such times of little grace,
when you figure it,
it’s me who makes a face,
is something missing ?
Friday, 13 November 2020
Asha Three
You keep trouble at bay,
that this job requires,
any problems look away,
they pester you for loans,
your eyes seek the tide,
you're not alone,
we stumble in the haze,
fan our desire,
no one’s easy or brave,
scared to your bones,
they don’t call you a liar,
but threaten with guns,
ride the blue waves,
like a cold fish knife,
I’m your only gain,
why don't you 'phone,
I’ve made candlelit signs,
It’s not easy on my own,
is this what you slake,
to dampen each fire,
something to trade,
until you retire?
Thursday, 12 November 2020
Asha Two
It's quiet here now,
after fifty years of need,
heart smooth as stone,
still as the cave,
where praise be,
I hope to be saved,
my body with the snow,
back in my country,
when it starts to blow,
give me this place,
I’ll take serenity,
especially on feast days,
geese with barren tones,
hang the air to freeze,
above my right shoulder,
they see me sway,
the light of the season,
I'm still on the rails,
in the blue dawn,
stripped down like a tree,
in my hands a rose,
the old loving fancy.
Wednesday, 11 November 2020
Asha
I still hear me Da,
laughing like a foghorn,
it seems so far,
happy he's not scarred,
or left forlorn.
I start the car,
I see him stamp the tar,
like a newborn,
his ashes fall like stars,
I switch off,
looking war-torn,
right from the start,
he’ll never join the ark,
not even sure,
about his great heart,
can’t find that chart,
my son knows the score',
how it’s gone too far,
trips to the funeral park,
old shirts he’s worn,
why do I tear apart,
love has no form

Kamala Three
Bellow at a cause betrayed,
conceal the bitter holy things,
take them to your grave,
don’t afford the Blues,
let every bell ring,
our day will come on cue,
what a song they make,
a curdled soup of crying,
everyone knows their fate,
dab perfume around the room,
when called upon to bring,
life to such a hula-hoop,
watch ships in the bay,
you really want to fling,
salt on heartache far away,
with the kids brand new,
laugh at everything,
even if it isn't true,
don’t gamble all and say,
their hate to me is nothing,
can’t cheat a turning page,
find this time to sing.
Monday, 9 November 2020
Kamala Two
They’ll let you know,
what people feel,
almost in their bones,
the jilted smile's strain,
hung over easy,
they see it all this way,
take your time right now,
in nights without pleasing,
a river always flows,
why let the low disdain,
mirror mountain streams,
get on day by day,
they want you to blow,
from all of justice schemes,
where you want to go,
you’re a long time delayed,
but work within a team,
face the dread uncertainty,
what you do takes show,
tell us how we've been,
do more than warm your toes,
there is another dream.

Joe Three
Forget all these clowns,
that come to woo you,
many without elan,
as loud as their woes,
harbour ships blow hooters,
every song sings of home,
not just what’s gone,
that makes them swoon,
but better than a throne,
your face deadpan,
in bars full of cruisers ,
you’d rather be on plan,
nothing comes by chance,
your eyes are ruined,
everything comes to pass,
head back she raises a laugh,
what can they do to her,
with hard countenance,
strange in these ocean towns,
these faded boozers,
how they raise your crown,
culled from the sewer.
Saturday, 7 November 2020
Joe Two
why stay by the door,
your face a savage hue,
the hurt is swollen raw,
no sense of ease,
expect them now to Queue,
you could never say please,
be defined by whores,
waiting here in the gloom,
there's many in your cause,
it’s bad on every street,
no one hears good news,
but no need to scream,
still time to do your chores,
make your life anew,
sweat in the furious pause,
don't shout and scream,
spitting out your spume,
only fools don’t heed,
can't you hear them roar,
were you ever the glue,
for that long held cause,
we're waiting for you
Kamala
If it’s in your blood,
in this house of whispers,
who says it’s no good,
places you want to claim,
haven't had justice,
heavy hearts on rusted freeways,
time goes bust,
something vague is no bonus,
being prepared’s a must,
find another way,
simply do what needs insist,
knowledge is always gain,
maybe we need a tug,
sail on without a ship,
when sun lifts the fog,
search for love again,
walk the middle distance,
never bow to shame.
an Ocean never floods,
why make a fuss,
many a life's in trouble,
plenty here for all of us.

Joe
You'll pay a heavy score,
my face is savage blue,
hurt is swollen raw,
no sense of ease,
always in your Queue,
you would never say please,
I’m not divined by whores,
Waiting here in the gloom,
no footfall for your cause,
it’s bad on every street,
no one hears good news,
but no need to scream,
I hack at lonely chores,
turn my life askew,
sweat in furious pause,
why shout and swear at me,
spitting out your spume,
only fools don’t heed,
you rage and roar,
you never were the glue,
you pray at some lonely door,
we’re already over you.

Is this how we imitate,
our inventive best,
when we twist and shake,
open every door,
try for the Apprentice,
wake up sore,
fuelled with what we take,
like all the rest,
we won’t hesitate,
fools sing for applause,
faith is the test,
does two and two make four,
the night's cool probate,
scatters our innocence,
no matter what cost resonates,
with the drunken poor,
they ask for our presence,
they give us the floor,
the search for fame,
is the brand they blend,
don’t sweep them away,
they're our new friends

Is this really the place,
to ask the reason why,
my love is ruined,
the haze of loss and show,
beats out lonely time,
nowhere else to go,
soaked on the Spanish main,
desolate in my cry,
I never try to calculate,
what I need to know,
no longer beat the sky,
wooden box or one-way crow,
when I jump the rail,
boxcar irons safe to climb,
forget the spikes of jail,
my lips won’t go,
near this sweetheart’s tie,
or witness gentle sorrow,
no easy way to fake,
what hurts me deep inside,
take it to my grave,
eyes open wide.

Do you think when beat,
perhaps sing a common air,
I can rescue everything,
if love’s the frame,
heaven’s my place to share,
I have my good name,
when in depths of need,
I’ll be taking care,
it's not easy being free,
getting there’s the game,
trousers full of tears,
even up the lane,
I know how to keep,
a wooden face in every lair,
drink’s my sole conceit,
everything else I can tame,
pass hours on hard chairs,
even wrapped in chains,
will everyone see,
the gaps between my hair,
eyes lit up like kerosene,
my dreams elsewhere?

You say get a grip,
when I fail down below,
another momentary slip,
I don't need drugs to pray,
sooth my bones,
my quest to get away,
dreamers have surly lips,
manacles of wretched homes,
others take a coin and flip,
easy jokes and spirits flay,
across 49 different time zones,
everything we gain,
drowns in a headlight dip,
in consumptive hollows,
take another nip,
won’t know how I stay,
if I can dump this ‘phone,
when faith is a getaway,
I’ll make this trip,
the wind will moan,
nail me to a coffin ship,
c'mon baby let’s go
