Perry

I need another home, help me to say, you know what is gone, stuff I need to do, unravel the waste, pick out what's new, delay troubled zones, find solace every day, seek the unknown, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, crowded darkened rooms, listen to my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, what is sought by few, allows no thought of gain, unfazed by the truth, orchestral storms, glisten with day, you will never be alone, show me the same.

Ophelia

Why live in a haze, it's not bad this time, crumpled like cellophane, best not to moan, drink holy wine, you're not on your own, don't jump at trains, scour down the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, enjoy what’s around, live without loans, make a step change, scrape off the grime, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, say you don't understand, move out of that zone, regaled by your days, let your heart unwind, have a greater say, in all you design.

Nikki

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, love turns around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes fill like pools, wouldn't it be great, to find someone new, it's a hurricane zone, where no one reigns, to oversee the loans, someone not cruel, but kind and sedate, someone not like you, where the wind blows, all emotion is played, my emptiness gone, the good parts were cool, clear as acetate, you forgot about dues, high across the flames?

Maria

Why always ask why, accept what you’ve chosen, before stopping to deny, stare into dead space, your mouth frozen, issuing stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, time is done with roses, accept all you decry, beyond children’s faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, regale wonderful relations, even at the graveside, witness true love's bonus, watch clouds sail the sky, care settles any debate, don’t wonder what follows us, let go of the traces, keep flowers at your side, just some little token, beyond a wish to verify, we remain unbroken.

Lottie

Never one to search for gain, every task is spent, working in the rain, don't get sore, putting up new fences, I'm waitiong here indoors, you know what it takes, to grant me a presence, an ungrateful reprobate, fools sing for applause, they have no credence, I count out the score, no need to celebrate, to bring me your best, life is not a game, two and two makes four, I'll alter your defences, will always demand more, see how you hesitate, your invested rent, in night's cool probate, exploring good friends.

Jan

When donkeys start to bray, we sit by the fire, you turn to me and say, its a lonely path alone hung by a wire, crossing the sea like Homer, we can't take a train, never mind the time,. just sit here and wait, this is our home, not all a sweet desire, but still no rolling stone, watch all the silly games, tell which gun's for hire, explosions getting paid, our horizon's broken, no sail shines too bright, love's our little token, so far we remain OK, who needs insight, blankets aren't for slaves, take our own sleepovers, who cares about rights, a silent tombola, rescues our days.

Indi

Listrning to your news, struggling in the break, like last winter's blues, no horizon's bright, for the mark's a stain, always claining your rights, it makes life a purlieu, a forest untamed, possessing terrible attributes, never did make the time, to hear a donkey bray, you sit by a fire, before sunrise bears fruit, your hope drains away, say no one reaches you, every wondered why, enquires about your pain, make us all take fright, we're bored stupid too, your fortunes hold sway, rain dance on the roof, we hide to escape.

Hayden

You ask me what's new, never one to help the poor, your stuff arrives on cue, did you ever say please, divined by any whore, never a sense of ease, always ahead of the queue, exploding into bedrooms, you'd bust any curfew, bad guys on the street, a foil for your cause, let you hear the screams, it pulls your life askew, hacking out your chores, sweating on the latest news, they know where you've been, all your furious tours, whose turn now to bleed, you never were my glue, dancing on some crowded floor, your head full of ruin, tilting at my door.

Ginny

I simply try to calculate, how many walls you climb, beyond the spike of jail, your lips can't fake, disguise the taste of wine, stood before the magistrate, present some dreadful state, think you look just fine, brother take a mirror away, it's not easy being great, always wondering why, even in a wooden crate, terrible supplies of trace, roll with citrus limes, no one needs you anyway, I'll take a plane, winter in warm climes, spend your gotten gains, find someone else to bathe, you'll be gone a while, scrutinise my new face, now you're safe inside.

Freya

He comes to me in bits, say water's in his blood, somehow nothing fits, how Ma baked the cake, more to life than this, his Da just the same, he carries yellow lists, plain but all ripped up, cries before the kids, if there's another way, perhaps he needs a shove, defeat his troubled days, I'll do what he insists, even if it drives me nuts, await another blitz, act like someone gay, who'll always make a fuss, suffer all his phases, in his house of whispers, history never shuts, you don't need a chorus, stop him chopping wood.

Ellie

What hurts deep inside, something for you to face, my eyes full of pride, what you need to know, no longer is the case, wrapped in dollar notes, new to me these lies, to see your heart fade, faithless tunes set aside, a million ways to show, explore this Lunar waste, I've nowhere else to go, desolate in my cries, soaked by ill gotten gains, I recognise your crime, how the wind blows, you'll eat grass in jail, my lips contain no sorrow, no time to step aside, drink my cold Chardonnay, why ask for reasons why, am suddenly ashamed ?

Della

My hands have a flow, they maybe flawed, but it's something I know, love rides a lilac sea, whoever takes the tour, relies upon it with me, life's more than a cone, a furious cause, I won't let you doze, my tune is your creed, come back for more, let's rip this scene, dance in my zone, like you used to before, our time is good mojo, knowledge that's for real, my clothes sweep the floor, how good it feels, I'll buffer your tones, give succour to the poor, temper your groans, my eye on the door.

Casey

I'll let you follow, what people up here feel, in their bones, that jilted smile's strain, blowing through the trees, they see it miles away, right now those police cones, scream locks without a key, makes the river beckon, why seek the rain, peer in mountain streams, you can't dance every day, nothing to bestow, with his other crazy schemes, he was no picture show, it's a long drain, to live without a dream, face out each coming day, there's no need to borrow, we see how you've been, times it's best to know, nothing's how it seems.

Beth

Gamble everything away, don't care what you do, it won't escape my rage, at winter's iron maw, each issue from your muse, is just a shallow caw, watch ships in the bay, work is such a ruse, salt always in your cake, everyone's your whore, sad song's arrive on cue, what a cache they hoard, smoking stogeys in the rain, every trick in use, your life is such a game, love curdles tied with cord, witness how they hate you, one day they will roar, swipe at causes betrayed, conceal bitter fruit, mangle roses at your grave, drunk on schadenfreude.

Amy

Is it love of rain, or a burning pyre, you pray against, sitting in the gloom, asking who;s for hire, no one leaves this room, if there's problems look away, listening to the criers, habits not easy to break, to do what you do, your eyes seek the wire, they were never blue, give offerings to the saved, provide ice cold ire, nothing is what you gave, whispering at my perfume, provides a coat to lie in, songs you sing never true, defiled by trains, your tongue is a liar, the miracles you crave, beyond any fire.

Zaya

I stand in the nave, where praise be, I know I'll be saved, my eyes are like thunder, wine dark as the sea, love never slumbers, in the blue grave, stripped beneath the trees, nothing's left to trade, between here and surrender, grows an old amber need, doesn't stay to linger, my heart starts to break, it's late for the season, birds go on their way, my face shines in wonder, my soul laughing clean, i nearly tore asunder, it's quiet in this place, fifty years of heed, find their own space, someone waits for me.

Yaretzi

She has some spark, her lovely face lights, mail waits in the yard, she hankers for love, the rest of the night, why worry what's above, with her delivery cart, they ask her to try, the latest bars, we all need a crust, the trolley suits her fine, she won't drink doubles, she never walks far, to rush is a crime, each step there's a mark, works without gloves, unlike other times, when the sun comes up, if there's ever a chart, to show us what's right, let us post cards, she'll be first in line.

Ximena

In the Spring twilight, you see the poor, huddled by the security line, it's cold for the season, sons and daughters, same lack of freedom, the big river a tide, brings a truth sought, don't need to ask why, they shiver in the lee, the city above the port, shines on sickness of being, to worry about time, if they'll be caught, in some new policy drive, there's just no reason, to tolerate the slaughter, rung like a guilty plea, every walk of sodden life, ends here with nought, some bring their wives, who could want more ?

Wynter

Like a ship on the sea, i swear to the night, let us reach the quays, a shoal of lost hordes, together in flight, shine from the ocean's maw, help us we plead , between moon and sky, please set us free, escape earth's back door, the tryanny of lies, bequeathed to the poor, save us from the police, wind the clock tight, throw us our destiny, make visions of the shore, say do what's right, sprinkle our Cologne, please treat us gently, say everything's fine, we'll stay with faith, never say die

Verity

A cross in her love, to where we drink wine, she gives us a shove, a drink beneath stars, it's not before time, life is too stark, she looks up above, lost in her crime, the year she goes bust, hair like a jump start, she hasn't a dime, but still drives a car, she steers the old tub, down avenues of Lime, the cops take a look, it's never easy or calm, sitting by her side, my home isn't far, she sings into her gloves, passed neon street signs, life's more than a crust, she has to get by.

Ula

Pillows furl beneath the sky, death brings no easy due, even when you die, who cares what is fake, it still comes for you, consumes you anyway, something deep inside, not just an ordinary blue, lets you see the light, those who come too late, never follow rules, fire burns in their grate, however hard you try, love is not immune, it always makes me cry, dying's when you castigate, those who feel it too, who never walk away, forget these troubled nights, they always bring bad news, a hundred questions why, as if you knew.

Tanvi

For those who ask of late, a chance to tell why, the house is losing slates, run a bath with foam, giving's in your creed, your loving isn't done, d'you remember the holidays, our trips to the beach, when you tried to paint, studied all my bones, become suddenly tipsy, now the colour's gone, guide me through these days, make my troubles cease, understand why I pray, don't want to cast stones, am OK on my feet, assist my journey home, wonder why i stay, with artists like these, empty horizons in the rain, won't replace my needs.

Sandra

Can't get past the news, when you danced away, no one sang the blues, stepped up to your going, angels have no shame, all of value blown, i haven't got a clue, why in heaven's name, you never gave what's due, everything I call a home, is somehow laid to waste, the kids watched you go, sing me a successful tune, put gold around a cage, nothing's here will do, I hate to be alone, won't see anyone anyway, caution rings my tones, truth's a bitter fruit, rolls like a train, dispenses with you, strugglsing to reclaim.

Riley

To begin again, it's hardly right, blown down gossamer lanes, I've lost a few, given such nights, show by airs of truth, now my voice is game, before it gets tight, but not on your estate, don't make me stew, in this paradise, accept my refusal, in my own secret way, I'll see the sights, kiss me quietly again, where others have gone, without a fight, i will blossom, made everyone say, she's a simple mite, sing a lovely refrain, made you sign.

Quin

Happy songs in my car, holy water in my tank, nothing else leaves a scar, blown apart in little ways, a gurgle from the crank, she's together these days, lets me burn the tar, the sky looks dank, scatter ashes on the bar, what is left to say, my mind's not blank, clinging to the way, I see clearly in fog, no one else to thank, she rolls like a log, brings me to this state, as if i am a bank, treats me nice on holidays, you never know how far, it's best to be frank know what's going on, Mabel is no ham shank.

Peggy

Why ask for serenity, like we're creatures in a jar, rescued from the sea, put together in a frame, note a different mark, something you can't name, if others set us free, a distant bell afar, takes you back to childhood scenes, is this a different age, you drive an electric car, it still feels strange, nothing fills our need, except a hazy fog, somewhere we can dream, dancing on the waves, a sail across a spar, toss overboard stuff's wreckage, all the things you see, all the time we're not, that's just us laughing, we carry on.

Olivia

Is that you Lady, laughing as you go, to keep men happy, make me the same call, by the river's flow, tenderness in a Mall, back in the bayou lakes, the year of the blow, give me a piece of cake, geese in a barren fall, rise slowly and croak, don't make me bawl, keep that trouble at bay, no life is worth a moan, give it one more day, we'll go to the ball, your face a pure glow, diamonds make you tall, in the brutal trades, smile as only you know, go beyond busy freeways, use quieter roads.

Nancy

Some nights i ask why, if we'll ever atone, stars rain down like fire, is it to our shame, we extend the loans, still so far from fame, come close within my sight, the wind is running cold, stay a little while, are kids and dogs your game, then don't get old, just remain the same, when you hear me cry, run from a hanging phone, it's not enough to sigh, buy some shiny nails, let's get going, a house is not a jail, no matter how we fight, reveal our yellow bones, we can do this right, breathe the ozone.

Maya

Fire and evening light, won't make me read the news, save the long goodbye, escaping from that moan, they always sings Blues, in North or Southern tones, this village is my life, is always here to sooth, not lost on freeway nights, brings wisdom to my bones, accepts all I do, even to quietly atone, living here's a paradise, it brings a certain truth, celebrates an easy life, to shelter me at home, sticks to me like glue, far from being alone, cities are full of spite, life through locked windows, who needs super sight, to see who's fooling you?

Lily

Beat against my walls, throw salt at the rain, hover at infirmary's door, thank God for my home, you only bring shame, looking always to gloat, what are you good for, living life on a train, use only the local stores, at least try to atone, dance away my pain, blow kisses down the phone, you'll ship out the whores, make my face turn pale, Baby you'll roar, don't ask me any more, spinning out your games, no one needs your jaw, why always touch the bone, never want to say, love is always raw, face yourself again.

Kiara

Since you've gone away, i don't know what to do, but each night pray, laugh in a hurricane zone, see my face in pools, flying like a drone, don't trick me anyway, the sea surrounds your crew, are you on that plane, lead me to the foam, take me if you want to, not just as a loan, walls are turning grey, the sky is always blue, are you on the make, I want to go alone, not singing out my news, with your bag of stones, your eyes shine like jakes, look at me in truth, I'm risen that's the shame, far too good for you.
