My red lips flash ornate, in rooms where flowers grow, champagne cognac to chase, forget how much I blew, banish the need to know, I'll pawn all the jewels, won't be an ingrate, worry about the loans, celebrate what remains, I never once did sue, others who let me down, like larger parts of you, why worry with fallen gain, supper make do with bones, fish around in drains, believe me life's a ruse, dream of good days gone, waste no time on blues, wouldn't it be great, to belt it fresh anew, die laughing in the rain, feel you'll never lose.

Isabel

Hail a ship for France, say what you want to say, won't get another chance, don't let stages run untrue, if your life is framed, you're no fool, face the fact you're banned, if you let schemes fail, innocently look askance, tell you what to do, when others rail, try to make things smooth, why bother to prance, if evenings run dark pale, passion always passes, kindness might acrue, if you plan to sail, to some lonely purlieu, sliding down the scale, time has gone for dance, turn things around again, let us talk finance.

Hadley

We share jokes and put, hope risen to appear, like geese in the dusk, no one hires a clown, to be ushered in here, someone who lets us down, for those not fussed, we'll always give a cheer, one's we nearly lost, in our Ocean town, when the skies are clear, we'll sail the Sound, celebrate sunshine's thrust, he arrives like the deer, with a hint of musk, in hazy bars he's known, makes us forget fear, never on his own, we brush the falling tears, each night is a must, the laughs and happy years, howl before the dust.

Gloria

If I was on my toes around your fire, why be so morose, what is it you refuse, is me in that choir, my voice losing, another chance to show, balancing on strange wires, what I need to glow, now I'm just the fool, the one who enquires, who pays for these jewels, lessens pain more than now, exposes all the liars, by my age alone, blood is a smoky blue, why don’t you require, me to tell the truth, my God i look old, you don't need a sire, to say c'mon old bones, let's fix your tyres.

Felicity

I'll pray in the rain, swear life upon my mother, stuff you can't fake, hope is free to use, lifts the stuff you smother, a place of refuge, can you see that portrait, it looks a happy soldier, that's me in the frame, whatever money you lose, don't curse like my brother, still to pay his dues, hard stuff fires the brain, fools live without trouble, then run away, pity them under dread curfew, I'll dance unlike the others, desperate calls to ruin, you can say whatever gain, leaves you as my lover, spirits rise and fall away, I need you undercover.

Ella

I set the right tone, neither freeway nor the Spa, gets me off this joke, a trail that's well used, instead of burning tar, circles rise around you, Saints reveal their bones, they don't take me far, who does passion alone, doesn't need a feud, someplace to crash the car, to know what to do, best not to drink alone, at some scuzzy bar, he's not coming home, head out for the blue, wave at them ta ra, dance with all the dudes, mine is not a lucky star, safe within a credit zone, but am not yet ga ga, even if he never 'phones.

Dusty

Give no eye to trains, don't ever hear them moan, show that it's your way, forget what's on your mind, in this life of soul, you're not the lonely kind, singing makes them salivate, turns us all to stone, hands wrapped frame your face, you won't take fright, acting like a dope, for any truth they find, always rise against the grain, stand out there alone, don't worry if some hesitate, your songs let them unwind, say you are their own, not what you keep inside, bum notes make you quake, all your faults they know, see this as loose change, where else can you go?

Carly

Look at me you Nerd, I'm shaping up to leave, tell me you're not scared, like fish swim away, your eyes won't see, mutter that it's a shame, I can take the hurt, your refusal to believe, not really being there, always a bit too late, as if you'd need, to post a packing crate, why worry if I slur, know what might have been, you don't really care, not even kneel to pray, for a life of ease, when I'm off the rails, is it these grey hairs, do I need new teeth, will you bring a chair, do I have to scream?

Bella

Say you'll cheat fate, always wear a red raincoat, find gold in shipping crates, this is what you do, never known a cold, laugh like it's part of you, you always turn up late, forgot again your 'fone, nothing's cpmes to waste, give money to fools, they carry no float, who knows if that's true, so on your way, you're on your own, scoff at those who hesitate, if you go boom, when they need a show, they have their own rooms, cold grey emails, jelly your bones, leave tham at the gate, this time you're done.

Annie

Respeldent desolate mail, sets a passage clear, nothing else must fail, carry love within our home, either far or near, to show we're not alone, nothing's left to bail, raise toasts for different years, let's not be derailed, if talking makes you groan, make laughter a career, don't worry about the loans, dance through horrid tales, nothing else to fear, who needs extra sails, dream of other thrones, nightmares at our rear, ahead are golden domes, bring me salty snails, pans to ease my cheer, food and wine and ale, try another phone, perform for tentative ears, on twisted paths we're blown, ignore the post this year.

Zena

Oh go away will you, don't say i'm your fate, love's not for fools, it's useless to sing, say sorry you're late, whatever your thing, to hell with sweet rumour, when I pulsate, it won't be with you, you don't mean a thing, no special case, shiny suits and gold rings, you'll borrow the moon, deny church or state, to break down my curfew, you're never my cling, even visions aren't great, can't see anything, I lie in dull ruin, a warm heavy daze, forget all my truths, I'm with you today.

xolani

You live life by drips, yours is not a big sea, the blue light hid, only fools hesitate, bring each day few gifts, it lets you dissipate, latticed with fibs, all just a wheeze, where your truth lies bid, this is no child’s game, dancing around your greed, your cherished ways, what about the kids, how they are squeezed, while you're gone adrift, wings won't striate, their flight on the breeze, can't wait to get away, if you knew how to live, we wouldn't need, to hide from your lips, nor walk unsseing.

Wren

His lips twist like knives, he is not forgiving, his eyes embrace the tide, what else is new, is it me he's kidding, on trips to secret venues, my mother says stay wise, he'll make you earn the living, many a tortured night, no love runs smooth, his tobacco tongue of lies, maybe it's all true, maybe she's right, he's fresh alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, he delights the whole crew, laughter's in his grinning, my nails are bright blue, I dance the river wide, my fame belongs to winning, nail him with my smile, he'll cave in.

Vicky

I float on the breeze, heaven's in my soul, no need to say please, am witness to your plight, still less our home, with your weary lies, nothing new to me, better that i go, with this sense of ease, you mark many a night, beseiged by shadows, you won't hear me crying, a taste of release, I strike a cheerful tone, saves me some dignity, it just feels right, escaping the loans, takes time to get wise, just goes to show, when I'm off the leash, you know in your bones, best not to speak.

Tammy

Brilliant great crows, caw out your name, summer's in full flow, you want to be free, is this really your game, how to live happy, give what you don't know, register your shame, find your own hollow, dissolve in the sea, only fools act tame, it's not in your creed, to number each bone, circle every day, taste marshmallows, stones, flowers, pieces, obtain drunken oblates, swear your great grief, weep as you go, take your share of blame, drink whisky you're told, am sick of your fame.

Sarah

In darkness and grain blue, please give me a sign, rid me of this cuckoo, is it me gone cold, others see the light, maybe some you've told, my tears are tapping shoes, why waste crying, you are such bad news, cant be bothered to scold lightning fills the sky, good times hard to hold, with your spinning hoops, eyes in constant flight, care becomes your issue, it makes me feel bold, you castigate my life, just get out this home, I will fix a fuse, explode all your lies, all the hopeless truths, bells ring on the wold, strangers will ight fires, I am the god of old, who knows i'm right?

Rosalie

These waters groan, I whisper your name, your ship has gone, don't know what to do, a brilliant stain, covers your truth, can you ever atone, what's sought in your name, now I'm alone, how unlovely is the news, that echoes in your place, wish I'd never met you, whatever has flown, look over the waste, can't believe we're done, the sea is lemon blue, my face is drained, you've joined another crew, find another home, you'll always be the same, God knows I'm strong, but not the same.

Querida

Memories alone are phased, so happy to tease, the shine upon your face, you recoil at my thunder, innocence complete, your mind fixed by number, my calls came too late, another time to squeeze, what I need to say, a life uncluttered, my insides screech, go look for another lover, one day I'll find my own, even in my sleep , a dream surrendered, who has greater muster, grit in crossing the sea, are we born to suffer, am I the disgrace, who has to beat a retreat, bound fast to your days, does it make you wonder, stones, graves wreaths, who breaks who asunder, not knowing what to say, unknowing to appear easy, just look away, a spirit released ?

Paisley

Chained to your days, can your heart forgive, his treacherous ways, it's best not to know, or mereley rescind, what's been the joke, why live in a haze, sheltered from the wind, not stuck like cellophane, make out on your own, throw his stuff in skips, put meat on them bones, find love instead of trade, welcome moonlight shifts, no matter what he says, when drunks start to blow, ask if you're fit, move out of that zone, why jump the trains, figure how to win, there's no perfect way, to learn how to give.

Oona

Why do these waters shine, brightly whisper your name, when your ship sails alone, don't know what I'm doing, it's all a stupid game, canvas stalks our soul, can I ever disown, how I bought your game, deep within my bones, sail unlovely in the new, a plan that brings disgrace, makes me dream of you, wherever birds have flown, do they know the waste, in this mud filled town, the sea is brimming too, your face is drained, nothing more is true, I'll find another home, will try to stay sane, I know what's gone, is it me you blame?

Naomi

Who can ever say, you'll love it here, dancing in the flames, hell is just a slogan, our eyes are very clear, we sing sing as we go, wouldn't it be great, to live without fear, blow in like a hurricane, we'll pay back the loans, drink less beer, we still have a home, nowhere's just a name, its no place for cheer, but no panic reigns, problems the tide flows, it just brings us near, closer to our soul, a spring moon today, it gkides across the Mere , birds have gone away, life is too dear?

Mia

A flower at your side, just some little token, than one day be a bride, ribbons flutter in your hair, laugh at stuff unspoken, you'll always be just there, drunk enough to ask why, accept you've been chosen, to always touch the sky, die at all the hurt, childhood dreams have awoken, outside of anyone's care, beseech heaven's insight, neither shrunk unknowing, beyond asking why, say a little prayer, forget about uncloaking, no husband wants to share, sing your favourite lullaby, verify love has spoken, a cloud sails the sky, you remain unbroken.

Lacey

Dance a poor girl's Blues, sing softly on the wire, you always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, given time expires, let them go alone, each little bit of you, parts they desire, haven't got a clue, life's not a cherry stone, you spit in the fire, why should you follow, their choice of ruin, sings louder than a choir, laugh at such tunes, know in your bones, they'll try to act wiser, keep close to home, whoever brings bad news, screams who's for hire, seek your own truth, no one calls you liar.

Keira

Take your time, shoulder what's to come, drink a glass of wine, get through this trouble, he thinks he's so tough, will no longer corrupt, forget his broken life, singing in your blood, that's for another time, all that you loathe, you now discover, is acting out what's told, Oh he's entwined, silent in his cups, stories of his wife, no more betrayals, phrases that he's dubbed, you laugh at his failure, hear the clock chime, he's so misunderstood, remember well that line, hand him back his love.

Judy

Take me to the train, it's my turn to speak, listen to that rain, you'll see a sunlit avenue, not a roof that leaks, free from all bad news, thats whewre I want to play, far from this house of geeks, Paris, Marseilles, we'll be there soon, from this bed that creaks, astray from hostal rooms, somewhere sunny opaque, without crazy freaks, midnight come out to play, you'll see me bloom, with inner feelings, if you sing these tunes, just spin me away, love turns at ninety degrees, then you'll hear me say, I'll drink the sea.

Ivy

Are you so unaware, think your c'mon on's great, I don't even care, am not looking for a home, a veil across my face, you're too far gone, there's no need to share, a spin on your Saturday, I'm not even there, I'll have fun alone, when your image fades, practice dancing on my own, wonder about combed over hair, like a great traipse, so little time to spare, a hymn to what once shone, when the shutter's raise, something's now cold, what makes you dare, to pull my traces again, can't you understand, everything's too late?

Hannah

Who can dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk even to speak, why raise the stakes, he mighn't come at all, useless dates we make, I wait for the seasons, with my crown of thorns, have given up on reason, he could arrive with grace, laugh instead of careworn, should I act brave, he studies me with ease, like i've been caught, pissing in the sea, lends a hand that shakes, absence in his call, understands why I hesitate, this is not really me, jellied to my core, a flower of deep uncertainty, scared of being torn.

Gabi

Da's agin in the pen, our pillows are not soaked, you stand there bereft, if you think he's class, consider him gone, he'll never eat grass, always first to the Den, laughs at us dopes, thinks he's the only one, he won't be assed, leaving you alone, will just shoot more gas, can't sit and pretend, we want him back home, there's nothing he's left, on a chair bound fast, holding a lover's phone, don't care what happens, you say we can help, pray that we'll cope, Ma you're a mess, we splice our own rope.

Gabby

Freya

You'd scream would you, when she demands another loan, talks of her bad news, sunlight,water,sky, you avoid that ocean boom, God knows maybe she's right, she shimmers down the avenue, her daisy head is blown, she paints us lemon blue, howling jangles to the night, we try to impose a curfew, avoid the constant fights, when she cries for truth, you say she's not alone, drains me just to argue, what's worse is her rights, says we've gone to ruin, you, me, all our lives, before asking for her due, hunger reveals our don'ts, leaves us here to stew, she wants another home ?

Ellie

Please don't moan, I'll stifle my screams, stay a rolling stone, a knife to my throat, you know how it's been, what keeps me going, I just want a throne, to perch by the sea, searching for love, why dance on my ghosts, no more a has been, you like that the most, when you don't come home, is that what you mean, if I butter the toast, maybe you groan, you once used to tease, won't break my bones, am not here to atone, for your busted schemes, neither to loan, more of my dreams.
