Xareni

Memories of your face, so eager to see, the soul of your grace, you recoil at my thunder, my very conceit, a man fixed by numbers, send for me too late, please bring me peace the dreams where you lay, a path uncluttered, my insides heave, why did you never love, who goes out one day, while I’m still asleep, and simply fades away. it does make you wonder, Roses, headstones,graves, who splits who asunder, me I hear you say, now you smile easy, never afraid, being released.

Ulla

These waters groan, they ignite our flame, a ship brings us home, don’t know what to do, on cracking Spring days, those asking for food, can we ever atone, what’s done in our name, especially what's gone, how bright is this view, that flies in our face, asks what we're doing, the love that has flown, across fathoms od space, fires a warning, the sea is lemon blue, your eyes come awake, nothing more is true, whatever is told, help keep us safe, honour our blood, keep the same name.

Timmy

Exploding our chains, will they ever forgive, the mess we made, best not to moan, or want to rescind, this life as a loan, we live in a haze, recovered from bliss, polished like glaze, we’re not alone, to carry on like this, there's meat on our bones, search for each day, to seize in our grip, love more than trade, welcome their stones, consider the shift, we're not going home, when someone says, you lot don't fit, we’ll show them the way, how to give.

Sienna

A flower at my side, just some little token, held with great pride, ribbons in my hair, stuff that's unspoken, never so aware, too silly to ask why, that stupid photograph, shows how you cry, forget all the hurt, memories invoke, beyond all your care, suggest heaven's sight, is there for the coaxing, nothing passes by, all that we share, lies close to our clothing, who says life is fair, sing our favourite lines, know that love's spoken, don’t try to hide, what remains unbroken.

Ruby

Dance in shiny shoes, sing songs of desire always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, why wait for reminders, you know how it goes, each little bit of you, faces cruel ire, just tell the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one's just alone, your point of view, is found in the choir, find another crew, show in your tones, when others conspire, you'll send them home, if they bring feuds, beg for more hire, say their confused, you're not a liar.

Querida

If that’s my crime, pass the sentence to come, drink some sweet wine, won’t get bitter, in what gasses for love, I can’t alter this, forget broken lines, that sing in my blood, someone's other life, you tried to make slip, all there's to discover, lost in your grip, entwined, my silence is the rub, take note of the time, no more tricks, on a face that I scrub, laugh at such a fix, hear the bells chime, won't be misunderstood, now that I’m flying, don't need your touch.

Phoebe

Please don't groan, stifle your screams, I ’m not leaving home, a knife to my throat, you know where I’ve been, love keeps me going, I don’t need a boat, search on the sea, looking for don't knows, or dance with my ghosts, who jump like jelly beans, toasting the lost, when you live alone, you’ll know what I mean, what hurts the most, in my red greatcoat, you once used to lease, bounty of my lone soul, am not here to atone, for our busted dreams, just to say I welcome, all what is seen.

Ophelia

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, my mouth is like a drain, forget these sunlit avenues, it's my roof that leaks, buckets of torrid news, Paris or Marseilles, everywhere they treat, turns truth into fake, pray I won't see you soon, before my hair is grey, forget your Provence rooms, mark you well this day, when my crazy inner deeds, all come out to play, bourganville blooms, by a station at Nice, it doesn't carry fortune, what is there to say, love burns at ninety degrees, my prayers are forsaken, can you hear the sea?

Natalie

I’m fully aware, if you're so great, who am I to dare, trying to make a home, dreams across my face, why do I feel alone, a hard hand to bear, the shaking out of fate, all I've lost spare, heaven screams atone, other voices fade, am I that far gone, chained to your affairs, plan a great escape, rescued by a timeshare, my yogi tells me flow, when eyes start to blaze, it's the time to go, what if I don't care, drawn on my traces, you're so up in the air, my time to waste ?

Maya

Prognosis only half true, you smell the Limes, Spring on the avenue, joke about a scarecrow, the belt that tightens, hard on your bones, hope there's no proof, show if they’re right, go gently with truth, I won't be alone, in this evening light, to break out the stones, I'll sit near the flue, not like it's a crime, fire seeping through you, have to keep going, each starry night, when the kid's phone, say you’ll be fine, drink vodka with juice, stick with the line, how you're doing?

Lottie

It's been some time. but there you go, let others wait in line, when donkeys start to bray, or the cock crows, I'll have my say, no need to find, what you don’t own, nothing more than a smile, stars show me the way, frozen to my clothes, this is no easy getawayy, kid I don't mind, it’s just another show, is there a little wine, stay here and meditate, wrapped up in the snow, sing the night away, raid s skip for fire, won’t worry or scold, it's been a while, feel it in my bones.

Kiara

Why say the same, beneath lilac trees, each time we separate, remember the times, we sank in the heat, sat drinking wine, now a morning pain, rises from my feet', in this tired game, believe me I'm fine, I dream of the sea, don't even try, it all sounds fake, even my dawn novenas, fail to woo you again, smile like a sugarbabe, fix you something to eat, your eyes hesitate, don't ask to remain, like stars fall uneven, stay out of my lane, no one has seen.

illiana

Your wishes make me, shiver on the train, alone bereft of family, the hi jacked news, lies tired across my face, jelly for the blues, wonder what to believe, the falling rain, a blessed relief, it brings into view, whye shifting tales, never say anything new, a swollen handkerchief, an echoed fate, a star across the sea, is it so cruel, to wonder how life plays, before sunset looms, where tears reach, a soul in disarray, don't spoil my dreams, luck's on its way.

Georgia

Ever think when beat, perhaps with a little flair, you can rescue everything, if love’s the game, heaven’s best to share, all that bears a good name, when in depths of need, will you be taking care, it's not an easy thing, getting there’s insane, pockets full of tears, even on the lord's freeway, can you ever keep, a wooden face at fairs, drink your sole conceit, find something else to tame, pass hours on hard chairs, even struck in chains, will everyone see, the gaps between my fears, eyes lit like kerosene, my hopes shining clear?

Felicity

This is not the place, to ask the reason why, love beats an easy escape, a sky of hazed tomorrows, shades a lonely time, nowhere else to go, soaked before a window pane, desolate in my cry, why try to emulate, what little's left to know, whoever can send awry, coffin's one-way show, when I haul the rail, boxcar trains safe to ride, eyes of men turn away, no one's lips will glow, near this sweetheart’s eyes, hard as an icy furrow, no easy gig to make, what gets left inside, take poems to the grave, eyes open wide.

Eva

Is this how we iniciate, our inventive best, when we twist and fake, open every door, ask for proper sustenance, wake up sore, fuelled by what we take, behave like all the rest, sinking to negotiate, fools sing for applause, faith our last bequest, two and two make four, the night's cool probate, provides a gentle whisper, hurt comes at walking pace, the drunken poor, beg us for presents, they leave open the door, searching for fame, scattering inocence, rushing us away, lost on the sacraments.

Denny

I stay by the door, my face a savage hue, the hurt is swollen raw, brook no sense of ease, don't expect to Queue, will never say please, am not defined by chores, waiting here in gloom, everyone has a clause, it’s hard on every street, no one hears good news, we have no drums to beat, I still clench my jaws, think of a life anew, sweat in furious noise, won't shout and scream, spitting out a spume, only fools take heed, can you hear them roar, losers blow a fuse, all we've beeen taught, rests with you.

Cara

If it’s in your blood, this house of whispers, screams it does no good, places you want to claim, haven't had justice, still sing on hot freeways, time itself goes bust, something vague's no bonus, being prepared’s a must, find another way, simply do what needs insist, knowledge never fails, maybe we need a tug, to sail without a ship, when sun lifts the fog, search for love again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame, the Ocean's always good, why make a fuss, many a life's in trouble, here for all of us.

Blakely

I’m set to scream, heart a fusebox tripped, someone get me free, in your eyes amour, do what's right and kiss say you know the score, rock me gently, don't let me slip, sing I've got you baby, the poor of lost souls, all enlist, to rock around my floor, glamorous perfect dreams, call me your little miss, tell me I'm a Queen, wish me a good night, decline to mess or quip, take a toil of water, a star across the sea, I'm at home on ships, movement's my slipstream, you are still a kid.

Adeline

Forget all the clowns, that come to woo you, so many without a yanna, as loud as their woes, ships blow their hooters, every note sings of home, just not what’s gone, that makes them swoon, but you on your throne, your face deadpan, in a bar full of losers, they think you're grand, nothing comes by chance, let the eyes be ruined, everything comes to pass, raise your head and laugh, what can they do to you, counter countenance, strange these ocean towns, all their faded boozers, they need someone to crown, even from the sewer.

Zaylee

Beneath a cause betrayed, conceal bitter feelings, take them to your grave, don’t give in to Blues, let every bell ring, my celebrations will be huge, what a noise they'll make, no curdled soup of wailing, everyone knows their fate, sprinkle perfume around the room, when called upon to sing, crash into hullabaloo, watch ships in the bay, it's time to fling, salt on all this heartache, with the kids brand new, will laugh at everything, even if it isn't true, won’t gamble all and say, love for me is everything, even if he's turned the page, I'm still hoping.

Yalena

Can still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, wondering what's wrong, happy we're not scarred, or left forlorn. keys turn on the car, have to switch off, looking war-torn, he broke us lot, stamping his cigarette tar, anger like lightning born, his ashes fall like stars, right from the start, he pushed his own cart, unsure about his heart, we can’t find that chart, my son knows the score', how far it's gone, trips to the market yard, old shirts he’s worn, drink tore him apart, love has no form

Xareni

It's quiet here now, after fifty years of need, my heart still calls home, still as the cave, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body glistens and glows, back in this country, it's here that I grow, provide me this space, I’ll take serenity, especially on feast days, storks with barren tones, glide against the breeze, on volcano's shoulder, they heasr me pray, in light of the season, my life on the rails, in the blue dawn, stripped like a tree, my hands cover a rose, old lovers weep.

Victoria

I keep trouble at bay, know what this job requires, any problems look away, they pester me for loans, even if I seek the tide, you're never left alone, won't stumble in the gaze, fan their desire, no one here's that brave, scared to your bones, when they call you a liar, threaten them with guns, ride that blue wave, pretend you carry a knife, dare them look look again, you don't have to 'phone, make signals and signs, I'm good on my own, maybe what it takes, bring bellows to my fire, give me something to trade, I'm not out for hire.

Ully

He won't stay up late, says love barely exists, lets me get my skates, the earth he explains, acts like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone asks for small change, pavement tunes play this, it'd be a cheek to say, go spin your plates, do you want me in bits, crying by the door again, seeing his place, it’s as if a launderette, tumbles around with my fate, his little smile migrates, am I with another misfit, who's never seen a wage, such time of little grace, when you figure it, is it me who makes chase, something missing ?

Taelyn

I’m set to freeze, my soul strung out tight, someone set me free, in your eyes amour, just do what's right, I won't ask for more, rock me gently, say we're all on a ride, don't be unhappy, the hearts of lost souls, dance all entwined, or loll by my door, handsome, perfect, serene, you kiss me quietly, do what others only scheme, ever so tight, have I just died, and walk on water, a star across the sea, it's the Easter light, bathing me in dreams, everything's alright.

Sage

You scream the bitter news, in troubled nights, as if you knew, all the different ones, left hanging on the line, we loved now gone, fire burns up the flue, show me how to cry, when you are so blue, it’s not me unlocked, something deep inside, everything held and lost, no matter what you use, however much you try, no one is immune, who cares if I’m crocked, can still swim the tide, shine beyond my shock, you will smell my perfume, clouds furl against the sky, death brings no curfew, even when we die.

Reign

Before my fame, I only thought of you, the money that you craved, shadows curl in smoke, against an awful truth, shocked again I'm broke, you always laid waste, my successful tunes, in this different age, clubs I sang at before, long vibrant rooms, stripped to the bone, inside the Royal cafe's, where I made them swoon, passed the same way, give me a simple note, make lonely men soothed, betrayals atoned, I will begin again, it is hardly news, play me in some serenade, name it lemon blue.

Quenna

How can you identify, which common spore, lies between earth and sky, what has been forced, on this Spring tide, when truth is sought, don't need an inquiry, to witness the crime, when it gets buried, you know the score, during black night, those who laugh like horses, others drink whiskey, and talk of hard lives, it makes them happy, if all ends in nought, you don’t need a wife, to scrub the floor, security lighs, pool over our doors, at Easter's first sighting, who'll raise the poor ?
