Tilly

If I’m to freeze, my soul strung on wire, someone better set me free, in your eyes amour, will you do what's right, say you know the score, rock me gently, mutter everything‘s fine, don't worry baby, I'm the soul of lost hordes, all entwined, who roll around my floor, glamorous, perfect, serene, kiss me quietly, do what others dream, a perfect night, have I just died, drawing toils of water, a star across the sea, I love the morning light, let me reach the quays, my ship afire.

Sal

Don't say I’m fake, that love can't twist, make me pack my case, the world hesitates, like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone asks for change, for a dollar bill, it'd be churlish to say, go spin on your plate, the cheek of his gist, someone weeps in a door frame, living around this place, could be a launderette, everyone spins their fate, a little smile migrates, I'm with all the misfits, who’ve never seen a wage, such little time of grace, when you figure it, puts a smile upon my face, nothing's missing.

Riley

You scream bad news, in troubled nights, as if you really knew, all the different tones, left hanging on the line, the loving naoled now gone, flame bursts up the flue, don't tell me how to cry, while you turn and look, it’s not me you locked, swimming against the tide, everything held and lost, no matter what you do, however you may try, no one is immune, who cares who gets phoned, something deep inside, shines outside my home, enough really of your blues, pillows furl the sky, death brings no easy due, even when you die.

Queen

You wonder why I pray, handed kids like these, makes you snort cocaine, run a bath with foam, not wanting to believe, all my loving's done, see your cheap face, forget to say please, horizons appear in rain, in the wind and stones, I don't need your needs, assist my journey home, fire me through the days, make my troubles cease, keep wondering about the Bay, each of my lonesome bones, becomes suddenly free, now I'm out that zone, remembering sweet days, the trips to the sea, lord how we praised, our dance at Thebes?

Patsy

Before my fame, I only thought of you, and how you slaved, shadows climb in blue smoke, contain an awful truth, shocked again I'm broke, you always hated waste, played successful tunes, now another age, longing for a happy home, I look down red lit rooms, stripped to the bone, inside class cafe's, I could have bloomed, singing night and day, holding to the simple notes, could have soothed, those who felt left alaone, to begin again, is hardly news, these outside dreams, relate our feuds

Oona

Can you identify, that ghostly line, between moon and sky, what has been emptied, and other parts denied, on this flood tide, don't need an inquiry, when truth in sight, then simply buried, witness the crime, when you’re in tight, to where rich men dine, some wash down Daiquiri, laugh or fight, it makes them happy, every walk of life, ends with a pity, you should see their wives, by security lights, pooled outside the wire, courses winter twilight, the poor ask why ?

Nancy

I have no need of you, stepping off this train, even with such terrible news, hate to appear like stone, seeing anyone anyway, on the street or Metro, haven't got a clue, how it will go today, demanding what is due, I arranged the loans, pointed out the lay, told you not to act alone, now you're in the stew, my voice flares and fades, is this really my issue, when I used to moan, I now erase, everything I once called home, how you sing the blues, ask where I'm at today, truth is a bitter fruit, I cry just the same.

Madelyn

You grab for the deeds, laid out on the bar, say a roof brings serenity, blow all my pay, then fly afar, you're a terrible waste, heading to the sea, like something in a bottle, I can't set you free, in a different age, you’d have a fancy car, now you're intestate, you don’t fill my needs, but a warm hazy fog, rolls your childhood dreams, dancing on the waves, I'm the stuff you're not, separating all the wreckage, love's no good for me, it leaves too many scars, holy water is my drink, what's going on?

Lainey

some mornings ask myself why, can we ever live alone, stars pale before my eyes, might as well be Mars, for all anyone knows, we've sailed out that far, explode within my sight, the wind is black and cold, is this another time, are kids and dogs you want, never to atone, always remain calm, when you hear me cry, running from the phone, just don’t sit and sigh, say there will be scars, like coffee on the chrome, a battle's not a war, no matter how we fight, strain every wretched bone, hold me close tonight, are you coming home ?

Kayla

Living here's no paradise, never makes the news, why try being nice, might as well be space, useless stars, sea and moon, ladle food to our plate, we need a better life, no matter what we do, many fall away from spite, our song still resonates, a feeling beyond the Blues, when looking over the gate, this town is our life, always something here for you, even naked sodium lights, what we want to create, is sing within our blood, in order to relate, home is on easy nights, when we search for truth, forgive everyone before we die, searching for our youth.

Jackie

Wouldn't it be great, to forget how much we owe, share out what remains, resist the need to wrong, water skins our bones, keeps within our song, I watch for the rain, tumble down a stony slope, hope it finds the drains, we'll just bumble along, walk with what we know, love makes us strong, fling the time away, greet the evening fallow, trains are always late, I’ll never let you down, or worry about the loans, you've no need to frown, my red lips shine ornate, blush with falling snow, a whisky drink to chase, we'll never be alone.

Ivy

Standing by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, await my fellow tramps, listen to some muted song, who would ever negate, a need to belong, better take a chance, we can plays this game, maybe visit south of France, hope we're not wrong, looking at the rain, stream against a wooden bar, ask how much this path, will shuffle our remains, without many wounds to lance, someone will come along, maybe even praying, put something in our pocket, cigarettes and laughs, beer sipped like champagne, try to make life dance, praise each coming day.

Hope

If I’m set to freeze, soul strung without fire, you'd better set me free, in your eyes amour, you know what's right, calculate uneven scores, rock me gently, say everything ‘s fine, say don't worry baby, your heart is my cause, bound and entwined, like jelly on the floor, perfect and serene my queen, you exert quietly, do what others have dreamed, a perfect lightness, have I just seemed, to float on water, a star across the sea, I swear to the night, let me reach the quays, this is my time?

Gerry

You won't let me fail, if anyone asks to dance, in rooms of evening pale, you always play the fool, wait for kindness to pass, no path too smooth, nothing more to say, except a glance, at what you do today, I rage against the news, empty as a lonely repast, my eyes set on you, life is finely weighted, your face tanned, I'll inform you later, what you must do, pull over make a stance, tell me you're no fool, whirl me 'round again, test me for balance, say what you need to say, if you want a chance

Fara

You scream the news, in troubled nights, as if you knew, all the different songs, left hanging on the line, you let loose and gone, fire burns in the flue, don't tell me how to cry, when you sing the blues, it’s not me who's locked, swimming against the tide, losing everything lost, no matter what you use, however hard you try, no one is immune, who cares who is crocked, something deep inside, shines outside my shock, I won't hit that tune, clouds furl the sky, death brings no easy due, especially if you lie.

Ellie

I throw away the years, every age has its crust, the laughs and happy tears, no life is too short, for those who you trust, in our toil of waters, you run like the deer, carry a smell of musk, in hazy bars so dear, I know what you taught, spinning pennies in the dust, laughing never overawed, what brought you here, on this tidal flood, somone so sincere, no book or district Court, hides the fact you’re bust, what you sought, blow flame across my fears, bring me all the luck, I hope before you disappear, geese ride on the dusk.

Della

Lit up at some ocean bar, within the hurricane zones, searching forgotten odds, only dumbo's pay their dues, make you drink alone, leave you here to stew, we can only go so far, before the evening folds, to bring out dodgy cards, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, my ravaged face turns Blue, your hair is like tar, Saints reveal their bones, we've so gone afar, the trail is well used, far away from home, life circles around us, ours is not a lucky star, whenever we are smote, hotels offer us a Spa, journeys of love bespoke.

Casey

Don't break holy orders, claim it’s all your mother, stuff you swore, lover's free to stash, all the stuff you smother, windows without a sash, can you see my core, a belly like an oven, flames that will endure, whenever there's no cash, you curse your brother, he says don't be flash, hard words behind his door, fools live with clutter, hands held out fraught, no book or deeds lashed, must you lie like others, ignore their crash, they'll pay a heavy score, always be in trouble, love for you is raw, have you got cover?

Bella

Wrong notes I throw away, what else can you do, session muso's look grave, forget what's not fair, life's not a pool, we're not that square, give the eye don't hesitate, why try to act the fool, show them our silky traits, it's not my long hair, plaided like Saskatoon, that makes them scared, we go against the grain, out here in the blue, engineers and delegates, our songs make them care, think we're full of virtue, those inside the circle, singing keeps us resonate, their world's not of fools, hands across my face, they know I love you.

Amy

Bring me sparkling jewels, let me laugh through tears, never to be cruel, my voice brings you grace, what else can you hear, there is no bad faith, turn your head you fool, meet this siren near, don't ever act bemused, my singing seals your fate, perfume costs you dear, listen before too late, dreams bring other rules, an ached for vision clear, golden domes pursued, along the shipping lanes, whole lives move their gear, some carry too much freight, laugh at torrid news, find a passage clear, put aside your issues, sail for better years.

Zia

I'll stay with you, if I'm not too late, stick to you like glue, don't make me groan, like a special case, happiness is never forlorn, I'll borrow the moon, reach beyond church or state, make you beat bad fortune, we are never alone, around corners or gates, even a promenade of stones, tell me the truth, if your vision's so great, why sleep in ruins, maybe a broken home, lets me stake my case, dusty as a heavy tome, please don't argue, take me as your mate, forget all the rumours, love doesn’t age.

Yasi

You dance in the tide, your fame is just beginning, say you need a bride, my mother says stay true, she is not forgiving, for love running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, you sing on many a night, it brings me back to you, women do your bidding, you have no curfew, who knows if she's right, when you demand anything, sunlight, water, sky, love blows down the avenue, daisy heads are dipping, won't melt me lemon blue, your lips twist like knives, you had better stay true, I'll nail you with my smile, nothing else is new.

Xolani

I'm Lucky to pass this way, no one here is brave, each evening conjugate, don't worry if I jeer, I am not a knave, measure life not fear, to broken laws you pray, define yourself and state, be gentle with your say, I can still drink beer, even if I’m late, a drunken innocent muscateer, School rings out for play, rather than enslave, I’m the one to elevate, other stuff brings tears, why scream or hesitate, let other souls swim near, my teaching hair turns grey, a sum of constant forays, lovers we can celebrate, you like me are great.

Winona

Bring me a sweet sign, in darkness of grain blue, my eyes need this flight, sing to me I moan, in this place of virtue, no one dies alone, we'll sail among the isles, our brightly lit fuse, makes prayer of our lives, steer an even course, funeled by sweet perfume, caressing all we know, you are my shining light, more than any muse. only we decide, when we’re growing old, age will bring us fuel, solace lives on hold, bells ring out the night, our journey fires the truth, laughter tells us why, joy is in our moon.

Verity

I'm the one who fights, priest's robes of purple hue, prefer my cotton stripes, within this sea of sharks, my smile arrives on cue, beams as I make a mark, don't ask for crass disguise, to a lover of balloons, try to make me wise, I parade towards the dark, when visitor's are due, my hair's the best part, it blows around my eyes, beyond the day's blues, men make a bridge of sighs, you're no shining lark, my spirit lifts the room, I shall call you Clark, you’ll pay my fines, there's nothing to refuse, explore my best smile, you'll laugh brand new.

Ursa

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, being witness to your sighs, ugly internal feuds, the weary lies, drink Chardonay think of loans, energy to sooth, my boiling bones, instead of all the jibes, amid these stinking fumes, you won’t make me cry, realise it's all you know, how to haunt a venue, keeping up a teary note, don't try to be wise, you have nothing new, I've marked these nights, better face the blow, something we always knew, deep within my soul, little space for you.

Tiffany

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, seek a place to live, this is no child’s game, around what you believe, chasing all your days, what about the kids, with their surly needs, must they go adrift, golden ties can't negate, what shifts on the breeze, you let blow away, frame those terrible tips, you think such a wheeze, nail the coffin lid, even fools hesitate, to bring you gifts. what else can you desecrate, to live a life by drips, no care or loving heed, what yellow light strips, lays bare your creed?

Samantha

Whoever owns the right, across a wind hushed dune, makes you wonder why, you keep a cheerful tone, relegate the blues, watch him on the go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, he skims across the tide, living dreams without a phone, always glad to see you, a place that life postponed, the air splashes at night, arriving in a fog bound loop, do you tolerate his lies, reach for holy stones, kid yourself not to look, what you open, he whistles songs passing by, laughs and hums a tune, says it's stupid to lie, you regard him as a fool.

Renee

The love you sow, dissolves and gives way, broken like a stone, is it in your creed, to waste all the days, until you feel a heartbeat, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, who takes the first throw, incense, flowers and the sea, waves dance without bones, this time it's for real, how much have you cloned, using love as a game, head bowed when you go, a bower near the trees, whisky and blame, you'll never be at ease, brilliant ozone, carries your name, Summer ebbs against the flow, I'll find my own space.

Qwynn

This is not me speaking, jelly for my thoughts, each day jaw bones creaking, a serious fall from grace, cast adrift forlorn, there's no need to create, make a fool of reason, loudly laugh if caught, a splintered axe of seasons, you might read and quake, fake absence at my calls, when I scream and shake, unaware of your treason, sometimes wonder if I'm born, fearing for the next scene, erasure of the lousy stakes, you'll fear being torn, I'm a widow maker, who can dream of empathy, drinking on a wall, boom of a broken sea, I'm not here at all.
