Vita

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, you listen to the rain, get me to sunlit avenues, not a roof that leaks, forget all the bad news, Paris or Marseilles, anywhere that doesn't sleep, I’ve had enough of jakes, pray you’ll see me soon, before I start to creak, in your lavender rooms, please don’t mark this day, when crazy inner needs, come out to play, the station magnolias bloom, love drips in the trees, soaked they’re out of tune, can you hear the sea?

Una

Please don't moan, stifle your moonbeams, he’ll be home soon, a knife to our throats, we know where he’s been, does that keep us going, we just need a stone, to throw at the sea, an edge to hone, when we dance with ghosts, happy as queens, toasting our lot, when you see him alone, is that what you mean, like being lost, in his greatcoat, he once used to tease, our flyaway souls, maybe he dreams.

Tate

Forget that crime, the sentence to come, drink some red wine, don’t get bitter, what passes for love, won’t alter this, digest broken lines, that say you’re no good they are another life, all that you skip, is there to discover, you only need a ship, enshrine, your silence in blood, delete that terrible time, you’re not so much litter, hand out your scrubs, laugh at big hitters, pull on your gloves.

Sam

Dance in poor man's shoes, sing songs on the wire, always pay your dues, it’s what my mama scolds, don’t wait for no flyer, wait to be told, each little bit of you, balances on a wire, stay and face out truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one does it alone, if your choice of ruin, sings louder than a choir, turn away from the Blues, know in your bones, when others conspire, you know what to show, you’re no liar.

Raelyn

A flower by my side, just some little token, I hold with great pride, ribbons in my hair, stuff that you follow, you asked me to dare, stupid to ask why, accept I've been chosen, my turn to fly, forget all the hurt, child memories broker, I’m now in your care, heavens may cry, shrunken or coaxed, am not here to deny, all that I share, is warm in my soaking, is with you here, now love has spoken.

Quigley

Chained to our days, we’re here to forgive, the mess we made, best not to moan, or want to rescind, what’s leant as a loan, forget the sweet haze, bumble bees in bliss, our life is like cellophane, we’re not alone, to go on like this, there's meat on our bones, celebrate each day, make love a trip, it’s more than a trade, welcome the time zones, consider the shift, we’re going home, this time to give.

Pammy

Limpid pools groan, whisper your name, our ship is far gone, didn't know what I knew, a brilliant ocean, absorbs our view, when we’re alone, I tell you the game, on this island shore, how lovely these ruins, a foregone disgrace, brings us to truth, birds that have flown, we’re here in a daze, our troubled home, the sea lemon blue, your face drained, nothing more is new, we turn to the flame.

Oti

Memories of your face, so eager to please, the soul in your grace, you recoil at my thunder, my very conceit, a man fixed by numbers, they call me too late, eager to squeeze, the times where you lay, a path uncluttered, my insides heave, wish you were my lover, went out one day, while I’m sound asleep, dreams fall away, it makes you wonder, rings, stones, your place, who splits who asunder, who, I hear you say?

Nora

Brilliant bones sculpture your frame, your life’s in full flow, need to be free, the name of the game, how to stay happy, you dance by the door, want no part of fame, others will follow, taste salt by the sea, fools think you’re lame, laugh at their belief, you number each zone, circle each day, don’t ask where time goes, stones and glass pieces, make out your name, shine without cease, even in the rain.

Maura

He smiles when he comes by, laughs and hums and diddles, says it's all a lie, he keeps a cheerful mien, to do’s on yellow lists, always in the frame, then he starts to cry, tells you what he's missed, all that's wrong with life, others take a plane, searching for a kiss, what they've thrown away, forget the bitter times, when it’s hit and miss, little need to keep trying, dreams that won’t go away, sorry that he’s pissed, asks can we start again bars, rain, days of tides, stars come out like milk, it’s not some other guy, who makes his life a ship.

Nicola

Don’t live life by drops, no poem or big sea, makes the red light stop, your words only create, some lousy creed, hung on a useless frame, latticed with coughs, it’s not just a wannabe, to show whose on top, frenzied child’s games, around your needs, must you find a way, to show them who's boss, everyone squeezed, like a kitchen cloth, but golden pockets can't delay, when you’ve gone to seed, the need to hold sway, just let it be.

Mikey

In darkness and grain blue, please give me a sign, release this stupid fool, it’s not me gone cold, when you break the light, others that you've known, please don’t play sad tunes, tongue aches to ask why, all the stuff I’ve blew, nothing left to hold, at your sudden news, is it that I'm old, care such a mission, your eyes in constant flight, mine are drained and bruised, you say it's your life, stay with me I moan, can’t we fix the fuse, no one loves alone.

Lara

The sum of infinite ways, puts our love on hold, others close the gate, all the time your fine, let others be bold, broken laws like bad wine, for those consumed by hate, someone kisses your toes, be gentle with them today, why scream for tontines, you see them getting old, try not to be a siren, when bells ring out late, don't worry what’s foretold, better this than fate, time is just a sign, that measures dust not gold, hang washing out to dry, each evening sing for love.

Kevin

If I’m so aware, might think you’re great, who is to care, looking out alone, new country on my face, maybe too far gone, a handful to share, shaking out the freight, if I'll find someone here, heaven seems so cold, when voices fade, there’s no one at home, in chains on a chair, plan my great escape, think of a timeshare, a bird that's flown, when shutters raise, a time that feels old, claws at my traces.

Janice

Don’t laugh at stupid fate, if you're wearing red, find gold in any grate, it’s what you should do, always stay ahead, smile like a nincompoop, know the latest rates, even from your bed, never rise too late, find money for every school, even without Cred, you know what’s true, OK you carry weight, but nothing you can’t shed, if it’s to your taste, in a time of feuds, settle with your head, arrange a time of solitude, say that you’re dead.

Irene

Forget the desperate news, set a passage clear, nothing else will do, don’t carry heartache home, it will cost you dear, ditch that wretched ‘phone, with nothing left to rue, make your life a spear, throw it at the blues, if this makes you groan, think what else you fear, cancel out the tone, there’ll be countless rules, to prevent your vision near, other golden domes unused, just take another loan, dab perfume on your ears, on such paths we’re born, taste food instead of gruel, say prayers instead of tears, no need to be cruel, ride these battered years.

Henry

look at me girl, don’t I look a fight, are you scared, your eyes dart away, can't you see, the fear of my shape, sorry about the hurt, your songs of the sea, don’t really belong here, I always pay too late, You don’t need, to make me feel great, worry when I slur, know the might have beens, you really do care, kneel down to pray, for a kind of ease, nights I'm off the rails, do I need new teeth?

Gigi

Watch out for trains, your face like a stone, you will show the way, forget the time, perhaps he waits to board, you're not the worrying kind, talking makes you say, some songs are all your own, others float away, you won't take fright, or hang from a rope, with any state of mind, rub against the grain, he knows you’re not alone, no one worries about freight, these cargoes take a while, the wind alone is blowing, nothing changes deep inside, just keep going

Gabriella

When you want to phone, from that airport in Quatar, don’t say love’s a joke, it’s a trail we all use, searching near and far, as life circles 'round us, Saints may reveal their bones, some leave the door ajar, passion never flies alone, who needs a feud, at the blue crowded bar, to know what to do, we aren’t going home, anywhere’s too far, we'll be right along, not a very promising tone, safe within your credit zone, what’s inside us nearly gone, hear the engines roar.

Stevie

Don't pray in the rain, or swear it’s the others, that drive you to hate, hope you can use, costs you can smother, find the best refuge, see that portrait, of a wounded trooper, it carries your name, whatever you choose, don't curse or bother, just pay up the dues, whisky fires the brain, live without trouble, don’t run away, brook a dawn curfew, see yourself as a brother, despite all the feuds, make life your lover.

Freya

If I warm my toes, around your fire, who are you to deny, what you bet you lose, so many fly, by your lost excuses, it’s a chance to show, on telephone lines, that you can grow, are not just the fool, who plays for time, but can work the tools , never more than now, what is made right, you need these holy vows, my blood's smoky blue, what do you desire, to know what’s true, I drink your wine.

Erica

Your eyes are never chaste, in rooms where no one goes, champagne cognac keeps us late, forget how much we blew, we always need to show, we’re beyond bad news, always on the make, paying off the loans, fiddle what remains, we never seem to rue, who we have let down, it’s not part of us, won’t worry about the gain, at supper hide our groans, say it’s all a pain wouldn't it be great, to live our life abroad, throw out all the flakes, live it as we go.

Daniella

Fire and evening light, make picturse of my tune, I might even cry, longing for my phone, that doesn't ring with news, it’s a Nokia two tone, the beach is drained of life, grains now turn cool, away from Freeway tyres, it blossoms in our souls, accept all that we do, we may even atone, a return to paradise, could be beyond our purlieu, but not a better life, far from being a drone, you’re always very nice, you'll end up in my song, make the morning wise.

Camilla

Why beat at the walls, sit down in the rain, haver outside my door, you were never at home, acted just the same, stuff that made me groan, I know the score, there’s nothing to gain, while you run the course, could you ever atone, dance in my flames, love isn’t a loan, you know what’s more, you’re a fake, I’m hoping you roar, never want to gloat, this time is too raw, to face myself again, alone in a boat.

Charley

Sing songs in my car, hot water in my tank, nothing leaves a scar, blown about by forays, a ticking from the crank, get ready for the play, you smile within the dark, make my mind go blank, scatter ashes on the bar, what is there to say, I am not a bank, clinging to a brighter day, Oh, you are a dog, no dollars left to thwack, roll me like a log, we never know how far, love lies down the track, to see what's going on, greatful in our thanks.

Bryan

Sometimes I ask why, can we ever atone, your eyes on fire, is it just a shame, that lights our bitter home, turns over each new day, same with our nights, the wind runs cold, aching for that other time, kids and dogs bear our name, we can’t get stoned, just try to stay sane, when you hear me cry, please put down the phone, it's not enough to sigh, I’ll buy some shiny nails, help out with the loans, a house is not a jail, to bruise our yellow bones

Arabella

Please don't identify, one lonely drunken fool, hopeless between me and sky, ask me to suffer, your lies like broken sewers, stuff you offer, angel on a wedding night, where no one is uncouth something you got right, now I must consider, all your bad dreams too, act like you’re a winner, bring sweetness into light, make jokes for the few, buttered dreams candlelight, to keep with my promise, instead of this Cruise, I’ll just step off it, so tired of your music.

Zara

We share jokes and put, hopes on those who can, geese rise amongst the soot, no one wears a crown, to be ushered onto trams, or put others down, those of us fussed, are always on the lam, to see what's crossed, in our Ocean town, everything is panned, even those unsound, someone to trust, she walks with a mask, there's a hint of musk, everywhere she goes, laughs before the dust, never on her own, fallen leaves unplanned.

Yolanda

Oh go to France, you expect me to say, don’t ask for another chance, I won’t go mute, your life’s not famed, you're still a fool, in fact you're banned, once again nailed, take too much for granted, laugh if you want to, your lies are mere details, this path’s not for you, don’t look askance, when I start to rail, passion can pass, shame’s but a fugue, nothing more to claim, you won’t need tunes, the door's your name.

Xaviera

Can't get ‘round the news, now you’ve ditched the car, why no one tells the truth, you wave at the Metro, talk of making parts, leave me with the loans, I haven't got a clue, where your heaven's are, what I’m going to do, everything we call home, glistens on the tar, the children watch alone, I sing hopeless tunes, trapped within my heart, everything turns blue, you leave us here to moan, as if I was some tart, make jelly of our bones, truth’s a broken cart.
