Presley

Living here's no paradise, never makes the news, so hard to be nice, might as well be space, people here like glue, stuck to a lunar landscape, everyone needs a better life, show what they can do, escape from all the spite, one song still remains, a feeling far from nrw, longs for constant states, this place is our life, shaping something to lose, beneath two sodium lights, what it is to dissipate, that tune within our blood, throws every payment late, brings us sassy nights, when we escape the truth, better that we lie, laughing at our blues.

Odette

You drape all my needs, like seaweed on the bar, does salt brings serenity, blow all my pay, ask to fly away afar, what a terrible waste, you could be with me, not clinging to a bottle, it won’t set you free, you say its a different age, no one can play guitar, yet still you deliberate, I roll out my needs, to a warm hazy fog, return to childhood dreams, dancing on the waves, all the stuff you're not, you sit amongst the wreckage, love songs to the sea, carries too many scars, holy water is my drink, what's going on?

Nicky

Mornings I ask myself why, can we ever atone, pale my children’s eyes, might as well be Mars, all the fault they own, we're out that far, laugh within my sight, a wind black and cold, never is a good time, them and dogs I want, not to face it alone, but be happy and calm, when you hear me cry, running from a phone, just don’t sigh, sneer at another Da, to keep me at home, don't make this a war, how we'll end the fight, strain our yellow bones, keep me up all night, screaming growing old.

Maria

Wouldn't it be great, to forget how much we hurt, celebrate what remains, beat the times gone wrong, when rivers reach our skirts, catch in all our songs, I watch for your face, running through the dirt, save us from the rains, we'll just bumble along, laugh with all we've got, assert we're strong, fling our time away, betting who goes first, trains arrive week days, I’ll never let you down, take you for a Blurt, there's no need to frown, paint my lips ornate, put flowers on the cart, drink beer and whisky chasers, loving is our art.

Lellani

Stand by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, lakes, folded clothes in a pram, hear some muted song, you'd never ever say, I used to belong, better take a chance, seek to play this game, maybe do a dance, hope I’m not wrong, looking at the rain, stream on a lonely bar, wonder at the cost, shuffled hands contain, other wounds to lance, who will come along, say girl come this way, maybe get a pound, cigarettes a few laughs, drink cheap champagne, my life chances, blaze each new day.

Kaia

You won't see me pale, spit upon the dance, wait for someone's mail, play at being unusual, ask for kindness to pass, claim to be uncool, lift my voice to state, life's a game of chance, now you've come my way, I rage against the blues, sputter at a lonely past, make everything a feud, cry like a fighter, toughen my elan, push on down the highway, I know what to do, now create a stand, don't treat me as a fool, roll me over again, test your eyes for balance, say what you want to say, get another chance.

Jody

I toss away the years, every age has its dust, laughs and happy tears, no life is too short, believe in those you trust, within our toil of waters, you run like the deer, with a smell of musk, crowded bars draw you near, I knew you’d be caught, spinning dollars for a crust, nothing makes you overawed, what brought me here, bathed in a bridal flood, for you to be sincere, no book or district Court, hides the fact you're bust, it's not what I sought, you flame across my fears, transfer me some luck, hope before you disappear, in the lilac dusk.

Isla

Lit up like some ocean bar, within a hurricane zone, why lose forgotten laws, only fools pay their dues, let you drink alone, leave you here to stew, you can only go so far, before the lining shows, the suit falls apart, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, you turn the air Blue, hair matted like tar, luck reveal its bones, do you know how far, this trail you abused, so far away from home, now circles around you, yours' not a lucky star, to hit the right note, the reckoning of Karma, my tale of love jokes.

Haisley

Can't hide holy orders, claim it’s too much bother, idle things sworn upon, love is free from cash, all the stuff I smothered, a window without a sash, can you see my core, a belly like an oven, alive to all your flaws, whenever money's on tap, you curse my brothers, say work is a trap, bottles hidden beneath floors, fools live with clutter, then run away fraught, house and deeds get lashed, I won’t lie like others, ignore all their trash, pay a heavy score, I’ll always be forever, life for me is raw, you better take cover.

Gigi

Lucky I pass this way, each evening conjugate, why no one here is brave, fly like the deer, silent on the paths I take, can’t tell what is fear, by broken laws pray, define myself as great, swift in all such crazes, will take a glass of beer, even laugh too late, an innocent musketeer, bells ring out by day, hope must not turn grey, wait on those to delegate, other stuff brings tears, why scream or hesitate, let other souls come near, my yellow hair is waved, summer's joy and forays, lovers are plaster Saints, don't hide in the shade.

Freya

Cold blue slate, like veins through your bones, let's you make the case, you give money to fools, have no phone, but smile like a jewel, why try to engage, with someone who's gone, just leave all that baggage, you don't need proof, when I sit and moan, say I'll show you, there are few reprobates, come in on weather zones, who understand your faith, they say I swooned, made a real show, when they locked this room, I’ll blow that safe, put on summer clothes, find gold in the grate, honour your soul.

Emily

Your love make me faint, where else can you go, the eyes look grave, forget what's not fair, live the life of soul, who else is that square, take my hand dear Saint, don't make a groan, let me stay up late, is it my long hair, plaided like a tow rope, that makes you scared, i rage against the grain, left out here alone, while you originate, this song is my lair, no one takes me down, inside that magic fair, a howl resonates, woods appear like stone, hands across my face, we are never alone.

Delia

Look at me I seethe, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, I’m always running late, as if you'd care, use me like a slave, what might have been, is just not fair, need a bit of ease, nights I dance and sway, without a slur, shows I take the strain, don't sing of the sea, you're not that aware, these fine evenings, like honey to the bait, your eyes blur, drunk you say I'm great, but can you love me, do you dare, am shaping to leave, are you scared?

Carrie

Raise a steady sign, in darkness grain blue, make our eyes align, come with me I moan, to this place of virtue, no one dies alone, we sail down the aisle, upset many a pew, make prayers of our lives, steer an even course, swollen along the dunes, temptation's all we know, you provide my sight, more than any muse, why hide away and hide, someday we’ll grow old, no one will bring news, our lives will unfold, bells ring out at night, journey's fire the truth, your tears tell me why, I'll always love you.

Bethan

Bring me sparkling jewels, let me laugh through fears driftwood stacks our fuel, my voice brings you grace, what else can you hear, songs of a drunken oblate, turn your ship you fool, heed our sirens clear, don't act bemused, our fireline spells your fate, perfume costs you dear, cargo arrives and breaks, you beg for other fools, to keep their visions clear, golden domes pursued, all along the freight lanes, whole lives end in tears, they carry too much weight, take no note of news, we'll keep a passage clear, the better to see you, all you need is here.

Annie

I'll dance with you, right through the gate, melt me lemon blue, don't make it sound, like I’m a special case, in yellow doused Cologne, I'll climb over the moon, church and state, if you beat the blues, we are never alone, still far away, a promenade to our hope, tell me the truth, if your vision's so great, why cloack it in ruins, maybe a lousy home, made you this way, set you out to roam, but you make me swoon, keep me as your date, forget all the rumours, love doesn’t age.

Zayla

You who always fight, see my robes of springtime hue, in your cotton stripes, within a sea of sharks, your smile arrives on cue, beams while I enter, throws no crass disguise, the lightness of balloons, you are that wise, I swing through the carpark, leaving the visitor's room, looks will take me far, they sail around my eyes, discard fake news, brook no bridge of sighs, am happy you're so smart, your spirit lifts the avenue, no need to say ta ra, you’ll beat these confines, nothing to refuse, give me the best dial, you're coming home soon.

Yaretzi

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, places like this to live, it’s no child’s game, around your greed, chastened by your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, you'd let them drift, golden lies can't negate, the spin of your crease, everything you say, spider's threads of fibs, a whole life of unease, determines who bids, foolish to remonstrate, ask you to desist, while you pontificate, parcel your life in bits, no time for loving needs, all the stuff you've hid, i'll make them see.

Xandria

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, a witness to those signs all blah and ugly feuds, packs of weary lies, the missed loans, anything said to unhook, my frozen clothes, instead of jibes, and all your doodle doo, it's better that I cry, more than what you know, still hold a certitude, keep a cheery tone, why try to be wise, to me it's nothing new, marked those weary nights, better face the blow, some things I always knew, release troubled souls, in particular you.

Waverley

The love you blow, are dice gone astray, a fool with every throw, is it in your creed, to circle night from day, why you can't see, in garments sewn, like a drunken oblate, gambling's all you know, tables chased by whiskey, nowhere's talk of shame, lightning sets you free, looking like a scarecrow, poker has no grace, head bowed as you go, don't come back to me, plead to ease your pain, how to make you happy, brilliant atonement, glistens your name, not one last sorrow, in your face.

Vanessa

Whoever owns the night, the wind rocked rooms, makes you wonder why, I keep a cheerful home, outside lie the dunes, where our kids always go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, different worlds collide, living dreams without a phone, it’s always good to see you, a piece of life postponed, the air is splashing by, fog is like a soup, don't wait all our lives, can we resolve the tone, take another look, at who we were before, hear them laugh passing by, catch their lovely tunes, let's give it another try, they'll be gone soon.

Unity

This is not happy, jelly in my thoughts, each day an eternity, such a fall from grace, cast adrift forlorn, why blame it on fate, make a fool of reason, laugh when I'm caught, spitting at the seasons, you’ll read this and shake, attest to my call, no matter how it hesitates, deny even the sea, wonder at fog horns, booming into empty, will you raise the stakes, fear of being torn, bring me back again, who needs purgatory, sitting on a wall, thinking is it just me, not wanting to fall?

Talia

If you need another home, help me to say, what you know is gone, all I need to do, is unravel the waste, reach out for the new, in troubled zones, seek solace each day, hope you're not alone, the sea is lemon blue, my day is turning late, I have learned to cook, here within my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, sought only by the few, with no thought for gain, strife belays this truth, brilliant stones, still glisten in your name, find them don't moan, live to try again.

Stephanie

Why live in a haze, it's not like that time, you stuck like cellophane, best not to moan, warm holy wine, you are only a loan, take or jump trains, scour every line, act out a perfect way, proud in beat up clothes, try to look fine, even on your bones, make a step change, scrape off the grime, rise up where you lay, if someone groans, tell them bye bye , get out of that zone, allow all you celebrate, let your heart fly, find love Scheherazade, know your own mind.

Rowan

Can you tell me why, think you’ve been chosen, above all the other guys, stare at shared spaces, you’re mouth frozen, reach for stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, ply me with roses, accept all I deny, beyond our children’s faces, make laughter ride unbroken, love them at their stations, asleep on the hillside, welcome living's bonus, arms longing for the sky, what settles the debate, won’t bother to follow us, simply fixes our traces, a flower at my side, just some little token, come here my sugarpie, what remains unspoken ?

Queenie

For each bit of you, in case anyone enquires, you don’t give a hoot, life is a trombone, played in a choir, who cares if no one phones, a little cup of ruin, shines brighter than fire, it gets you in tune, don't think they don't know, this poisoous desire, twists in you alone, sings the same truth, demands who's for hire, searches for some clue, if someone chokes, then suddenly expires, receive their life's song, dance on the avenue, cry on the wire, pray for all your dues, nothing beats a tryer.

Paige

What do you care, sprinkle salt on my traces, tell me what to wear, games you play aren’t easy, swing all over the place, hide where I can't see, say you want to share, kissing all my face, why put me here, in chains to the sea, rolling waves in your gaze, a daily line to empty, hard to fathom what's fair, when a voice gets raised. consumer goods only snare, ship them downstream, I'm for mandatory escape, oh, now so sugar-sweet, are you scared, think this is a holiday, see the tide over there, what is washed away ?

Oakleigh

You ask if I'll cope, if you could only help, to take us back home, why make me suffer, away from your Lens, don't need your buffer, stay out of my zone, you might mean well, but I’m better alone, then there's your mother, to keep in her shell, if not her then another, I’ll roll with the blow, sit on stools of leather, my skin tanned from snow, cocktails and scents, a life untethered, by you or your friends, will laugh at the rope, you dangle bereft, if that's all your hope, forget about heaven.

Nora

It’s you who brings hope, a flurry of shining waves, along the quayside's slope, you never stop to choose, always show the way, nothing you refuse, are you such a dope, to welcome each new day, as if you wouldn’t know, when you get the blues, let others stand and gape, some things you never lose, don’t wonder if you'll cope, always have your say, there'll never be a rope, to separate you from truth, try distant tides or sail, lover's fight alongside you, stuff you can’t condone, show down the lane, dance on slippery stones, you're so great.
