Margy
I’ll bet you know what,
how people feel shame,
caught in all their traps,
hang onto every sap
the jilted smile's stain,
they catch in every drop,
garnere in every slop
t've tried it every way,
take your time to cough,
those nights on the tap,
flying on a mercy craze,
who needs another slap,
huddled under burlap,
hear the pouring rain,
drink begets no chat,
from others just as daft,
life's no picture frame,
we're a long time cast,
to live without a compass,
the dread uncertain forays,
what you did was mad,
fear where life is mapped,
gets worse day to day,
nothing more invites collapse,
I didn't do all that,
but suffered just the same,
took all the useles crap,
I'd do it all again.

Laura
Please let me know,
what people feel,
deep in their bones,
this smile's a strain,
hangs on every tree,
I put on every day,
take your time right now,
nights without mercy,
will never make me glow,
stand in the pouring rain,
peer in mountain streams,
who would want my fate,
I've nothing to bestow,
absolved by crazy schemes,
my life's no picture show,
hair is out of place,
to live without a team,
wake each mourning afraid,
what I did was wrong,
can see how I've been,
i need to warm my toes,
the river always gleams.

Kathy
I still hear me Da,
laughing like a foghorn,
all the money gone,
happy not badly scarred,
or left forlorn.
I start the car,
when he stamps the tar,
like a newborn,
he’s a fallen star,
can't understand what's done
looking war-torn,
I switch off,
he's not a clerk,
not even sure,
where’s his great heart,
can’t find that chart,
my son knows the score',
it’s gone too far,
a trip to his mother's,
ripped shirts he’s worn,
things fall apart,
love has no form

Jane
It's quiet here now,
after fifty years of seed,
my face cast in stone,
can still see the cave,
where praise be,
I hope to be laid,
my body under snow,
back to the country,
where comes the big blow,
gave me this place,
to encourage serenity,
he knew about feast days,
geese with barren tones,
flap the air above me,
high on my shoulders,
sing in their own way,
late for the season,
I'm just the same,
in the blue dawn,
wrapped so I'd freeze,
in my hands a rose,
the old loving need.

Irene
Don't say I’m too late,
that love doesn't exist,
tell me get your skates,
the earth rotates,
like it has a stitch,
I’m not afraid,
someone asks for change,
who is paying benefits,
it'd be a cheek to pay,
mister go spin your plate,
want to hear my business,
stay in your door frame,
working in this place,
it's like a aunderette,
spinning out my fate,
a little smile migrates,
to all the other misfits,
who’ve nevet seen a wage,
forgive my lack of grace,
when you figure it,
I'm always blasting out,
something’s missing.

Hannah
Laugh at me I seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do I need new teeth,
am I always off bloom,
as if you'd care,
use me like a broom,
what might have been,
it's not fair,
who needs a life of ease,
each night I play tunes,
sing without a slur,
I can feel those blues,
don't dream of the sea,
you're not that aware,
stuck these fine evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes blur,
why not say I'm great,
you onced loved the moon,
do you still dare,
I'm looking at you,
are you scared?
Wednesday, 26 February 2025
Gini
Who can resist,
or seek to blame,
the promise of a kiss,
hidden by the scree,
supplies of waste,
gather at our feet,
beware of those hit,
don’t turn them aaway,
who is being remiss,
avenues tick with heat,
sunshine falls in awkward shapes,
love is all-seeing,
let those who hiss,
move over again,
say rage will absolve us,
for everything we see,
we'll see again,
including their envy,
uncertain misfits,
shoved tossed away,
stand as our witness,
love will remain.

Farah
I keep trouble at bay,
that life requires,
any problems brush away,
they pester me for loans,
my eyes seek the tide,
maybe I'm not alone,
stumble in the haze,
drown all desire,
few are easy or brave,
scared within my bones,
don't call me a liar,
giving you a home,
i'll ride the blue waves,
beneath a hot sky,
love is my only gain,
why don't you 'phone,
screech on roaring tyres,
not good on my own,
it's not what i crave,
being hung on the wire,
trying to have my say,
a soul on fire?
Monday, 24 February 2025
Ellie
Scream what's with you,
in troubled nights,
as if you knew,
all the different drops,
left hanging out to dry,
that signals love has gone,
fire burns in the flue,
don't tell me how to cry,
look at me so blue,
it’s not me you shock,
swimming against the tide,
everything held now lost,
no matter who you use,
however hard you try,
it does you no good,
who cares what's locked,
somewhere deep inside,
I shine beyond my block,
no one is immune,
clouds furl the sky,
death's not an easy due,
even when you die.
Sunday, 23 February 2025
Della
If I’m set to freeze,
my soul strung out tight,
someone please set me free,
in your eyes the tour,
have to do what's right,
more to me than amour,
rock me gently,
say everything ‘s all right,
don't go fretting,
for souls of lost hordes,
who lay all entwined,
engrained upon my floor,
handsome perfect serene,
you kiss me quietly,
do what others dreamed,
a wonderful score,
have I just died,
and toil on water,
a star across the sea,
I swear to the night,
let me reach the quays,
pull me to the fire.

Chloe
i try to fix a place,
where we just carry on,
no one feelS the pain,
who cares for the drones,
that rise like Babylon,
around our starlit home,
when I see his face,
running lines of alcohol,
I become suddenly sane,
a time to stay alone,
wolves can howl the moon,
who likes being cloned,
maybe I'll take a plane,
find some winter's love,
borrow somewhere to stay,
who knows how it'll go,
a trapeze of broken runs,
he's heavy as a stone,
do you rekindle flame,
bleach hair purple tones,
can we ever really say,
what we're thinking of?
Friday, 21 February 2025
Briony
You'd wonder why I stay,
with kids like these,
would make you do cocaine,
run a bath with foam,
living with all my needs,
be nice to live alone,
I take hold your face,
baby say please,
catch horizons on our way,
feel the wind on bone,
help us in our creed,
our loving isn't done,
fire me through my days,
watch my troubles ease,
calm the nerves at play,
belay my lonesome songs,
suddenly we're free,
bring them all along,
remember what we chased,
our trips to the sea,
we all sing for praise,
waiting on the Spring.

Amelia
Is this really the place,
to ask the reason why,
if I'm so lover ashamed,
his haze of gloss and show,
he beats out his time,
has nowhere else to go,
soaked in an island way,
desolate in his cry,
he tries to use me again,
what I need righ now,
he rages at the sky,
is a woman who follows,
when he jumps bail,
boxcar rails safe to climb,
wants me help him sail,
I diss his lips and go,
banish this loser's ride,
let him plough his furrow,
no easy way to fake,
he's hurt me deep inside,
I'm leaving this jail,
eyes open wide.

Zadie
Before my fame,
I only thought of you,
and what you craved,
shadows rest in blue smoke,
uncover an awful truth,
shocked again I'm broke,
why did you always waste,
my successful tunes,
used me as your purchase,
at dingy clubs alone,
ornate absent rooms,
stripped me to the bone,
then astride the cafe's,
I watched you bloom,
forget the lonely days,
prized holding forth,
flatulent men soothed,
faces like atone,
to begin over again,
it's hardly new,
this is a different age,
is it always you ?
Tuesday, 18 February 2025
Yolanda
Can you please signify,
through that back door,
between moon and sky,
why cash has been emptied,
and other parts floored,
by your high tide,
don't need an inquiry,
when truth is bought,
with what you hide,
witness the ferry ,
after you’re caught,
where rich men dine,
some drink Daiquiri,
laugh even bored,
what makes them happy,
each walk of life,
ends in a nought,
should see their wives,
by security heavies,
pooled on the porch,
in winter's crevisse,
do you keep score ?
Monday, 17 February 2025
Xanthe
Some mornings I ask why,
can we ever atone,
pale before children’s eyes,
could well be too far,
for all my crowing,
no answer's at the bar,
they eat within my sight,
wind runs black and cold,
you’re never here by rights,
if it's them or big cars,
you better lose the show,
rage while I stay calm,
looking for another fight,
am weary of your moans,
no love is withou light,
if there is another war,
and you are still at home,
see what you're taking on,
trugh is at home tonight,
it strains our yellow bones,
look upto the sky awhile,
hold the fire for now.

Winona
Wouldn't it be great,
to forget how much we owe,
celebrate what we gain,
kick the need for wrong,
let sunlight fill our bones,
bless us all with song,
I'm careful of the rain,
pound a weary slope,
gone are the missing drains,
can we just bumble along,
fly with what we know,
tell ourselves we're strong,
fling the watch away,
shiny in the fallen snow,
time will find us anyway,
I’ll never let you down,
won't worry about the loans,
you have no need to drown,
paint my lips red ornate,
seek where the places grow,
drink whiske chasers,
you'll never walk alone.
Saturday, 15 February 2025
Ginny
Stood by an unlit lamp,
sees a tree, a hand shakes,
waiting like a tramp,
listens to some muted song,
inside a head that breaks,
any need to belong,
better take a chance,
if he plays this game,
let me measure distance,
hope that I'm not wrong,
looking at the rain,
perhaps he'll come along,
it streams the window bar,
what's the use of remains,
to shuffle to the tar,
many wounds are lanced,
a small whiskey for his say,
leant a hand in dance,
attempt to cheer and stamp,
Brother its my lucky day,
put something in his pocket,
brighten a sweet journey.
Friday, 14 February 2025
Ulla
You don't like me well,
find other souls to dance,
in rooms of painted shell,
always play the fool,
waiting for faintness to pass,
no path to you runs smooth,
nothing works so you yell,
there's little of your prance,
when you drive cursing hell,
I rage against your feuds,
blue as at a lonely fast,
why do they get to you,
life is not some spell,
carrying you to France,
heroic as the bookk of Kells,
I’ll tell you what to do,
stand up take a stance,
sweep away the gruel,
whirl me 'round and tell,
take me as your ballast,
say you'll ring the bell,
chance baby chance,
Thursday, 13 February 2025
Tiffany
I throw away the years,
every age has its must,
the sad and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those you trust,
astride our toil of waters,
you run me like the deer,
betray a smell of musk,
in you I test my fear,
knew we’d be caught,
spin pennies in the dust,
love is never overawed,
what brought us here,
on this tidal flood,
disguise is our own sincere,
lawyers or district Courts,
wiil never make us bust,
we'll go and buy a yacht,
put flame into gear,
smile and say good luck,
laugh as I disappear,
geese rise at dusk.

Stella
I have no need of you,
stepping off this train,
that much is certain,
hate my face like stone,
to see anyone going away,
but you made me strong,
I haven't got a clue,
how it will go today,
being in black is new,
you arranged the loans,
introduced me to snow flakes,
then said nothing's wrong,
now look what’s due,
my voice flares and fades,
this really is your issue,
when I used to moan,
you tried and have erase,
everything I called a home,
will they wail the blues,
gathered here this way,
truth is a bitter fruit.
I cry just the same.
Tuesday, 11 February 2025
Rosalie
Wrong notes make me faint,
where else can I go,
rehearsal pits look grave,
forget what's not fair,
in music of the soul,
a Diva is always there,
fierce eyes don't hesitate,
you only make them glow,
tell them why you're great,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes them scared,
I sing against the grain,
stuck out here alone,
they find me hard to take,
my song makes them soar,
think it’s me they own,
those inside who care,
love a voice that resonates,
the world is made of stone,
hands beseech my face,
all you need to know.

Quiana
Why break a holy order,
claim you're not far gone,
swear it was your mother,
love is free to clash,
all the places you're from,
loose windows without a sash,
you can keep the score,
belly like an oven,
a flame of burning more's,
wherever money's stashed,
you curse your brother,
he says not his Dash,
hard stuff behind the door,
fools live without Cover,
then run away fraught,
no card is flashed,
you won't lie like others,
avoid the train smash,
don't lose your front
Sunday, 9 February 2025
PaisLee
Lit up at some ocean bar,
well beyond hurricane zones,
searching a forgotten Da,
only fools pay dues,
let you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the line unfolds,
start to skimp in parts,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
your ravaged face is fused,
your hair's like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
where has he gone now,
the trail is well used,
far away from home,
TV circles around you,
yours is not a lucky star,
nothing on the high note,
this place is all heart,
stories lover's joke.

Oriana
Loan me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
no need to be cool,
my voice brings a grace,
what else can you fear,
mine holds no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
heed this siren near,
please don't feel confused,
my bearing tells your fate,
my perfume costs you dear,
listen it's not too late,
I bring dreams and rules,
all ached for visions clear,
golden love consumed,
along the shipping lanes,
why live a life of fear,
why carry so much freight,
dance before you lose,
find a passage clear,
cast aside your issues,
we sail for better years.

I'm lucky in some ways,
each evening phone,
no one here is brave,
I’m not out of gear,
what is life forsworn,
measure time not fear,
broken laws make us pay,
doesn't define me alone,
be gentle what you say,
I can still drink beer,
even if I’m enclosed,
a drunken felon muscateer,
bells ring out for play,
one to raise the tone,
rather than enslave,
bitter stuff brings tears,
why scream kick or bellow,
let other souls come near,
my hair is turning grey,
the sum of dodgy loans,
lovers please celebrate,
you like me are strong.

A cold winter's day,
freshens your bones,
you who are always late,
who gives money to fools,
you've got no phone,
but smile at the few,
someone says why engage,
when they're that gone,
but you know about baggage,
who needs more proof,
they only sit and moan,
you have more to lose,
compassion has no bedmates,
blown in on weather zones,
you'll rescue their case,
know you're a boon,
won't let anything go,
when you open the room,
It lets in their soul.

You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
you're a beautiful bride,
my brother's praise is few,
he is not forgiving,
for our love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and swimming,
he says you'll kill delight,
it's all down to fortune,
bartenders do your bidding,
won't tolerate any curfew,
who knows if he's right,
you can demand anything,
sunlight, water, sky,
love bellows it's own truth,
sea rose heads are dimming,
don't melt me lemon blue,
lips twist like knives,
surely not all a ruse ,
nails me that smile,
nothing left to do.

Kiara -
You drape on my bones,
like seaweed on the sea,
say salt loves water,
blow out all my pay,
then fly the territory,
what a terrible waste,
clinging to the foam,
guilt won't set you free,
leave something for hope,
it's a different age,
you've no fancy beliefs,
how come you hesitate,
won't dare to go alone,
follow distant dreams,
dance a path your own,
through any stupid pain,
could you always be,
trust the same again,
in yellow Spring.

Bring me a sweet sign,
in dark marine blue,
cover eyes as I alight,
not too near I moan,
in this place of virtue,
everything seems to glow,
help me sail the isles,
blow out all the fuses,
make a prayer of our lives,
I steer an even course,
dab a drop of sweet perfume,
temptation all I know,
say I'm your delight,
more than any other muse.
give you seconds to decide,
when we’re growing old,
I'll offer you good news,
even in times gone cold,
bells ring out the night,
my journey fires the truth,
grant me some more wine,
I'll never lie to you?

Irene
if you knew how to give,
you wouldn't need,
to find placeS to live,
can't accept any blame,
around your greed,
chasing women svery payday,
what about the kids,
with all their surly needs,
do they just go adrift,
golden lies can't negate,
their love of daddy,
why blow it all away,
hide your craven fibs,
you think just a wheeze,
to open any flit,
who will make you safe
when no loving creed,
who will make you great,
do you believe?

Whoever owns the night,
a wind shushed fog horn,
makes you wonder why,
he keeps a cheerful home,
somewhere to have form,
he's always on the go,
forget the bitter times,
all the truths forlorn,
rain, gloom, patricide,
dreams without a phone,
always there to storm,
the life he's postponed,
night air splashing by,
a page that is torn,
some waste all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves with Porn,
seek what they had before,
regret freedom passing by,
I nod and keep score,
say it's stupid to lie,
something has to fall.

Frankie
Love you have to show,
dissolves gives way,
makes a fool of every bone,
is it just your need,
to circle the days,
with what won't let you see,
your garments worn,
like a drunken oblate's,
tells me all I know,
incense, flowers, creeds,
to dance on Island States,
is that all you feel,
with all that you've sown,
to keep only blame,
a head for a scarecrow.
buy a house by the sea,
find your owm space,
Spring's soon to be,
well I'll be blowed,
you'll come away Saturday,
bring whiskey I suppose,
I won't be paying.

Eleanor
This is really not me,
jelly for thoughts,
each day of uncertainty,
a useless mile from home,
cast adrift forlorn,
who wants to be alone,
make a fool of reason,
laugh when I'm caught,
howling at the seasons,
you’ll read this and moan,
make absences of my calls,
screaming down the phone,
banking on some creep,
wonder if I'm born,
awaiting the next scene,
you’ll raise the tone,
fear of being torn,
take me as I am,
remind me of the sea,
tell me there's no walls,
whoever dreams of empathy,
will never let me fall.

Desiree
let's Look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything turns to blue,
birds that have flown,
don't sing on their way,
how do we ever know,
my eyes are like fools,
wouldn't it be great,
to find somewhere new,
in this empty zone,
where no one reigns,
I've come to atone,
be someone not cruel,
but poised and sedate,
who is gentle and cool,
when a winter wind blows,
and emotion gets flayed,
dissolves in the snow,
I laugh like it's June,
roses shine my face,
said what I needed to,
asked for sweet grace.

II I need another home,
assist me to say,
what you know is gone,
all I need to do,
get rid of the waste,
seek out the new,
even in troubled zones,
there's solace every day,
happens if I'm alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
bars play football games,
there is always food,
here in my bones,
love will find a way,
shows how much I know,
cherished by the few,
with no thought for gain,
giving is the only truth,
help me rise again.

Bridie
Can’t you see why,
accept that we're frozen,
instead of constant deny,
stare at loose laces,
mouth a stupid token,
memorise soft phrases,
sing your favourite lines,
our time's done with roses,
there is no lullaby,
gone our kid's faces,
neither shrunken nor spoken,
lost at their places,
near a hospital bedside,
hold onto love's bonus,
clouds sail the sky,
you blew over the traces,
don't care for solace,
spare us our graces,
what lies unbroken.

Aria
For each little bit of me,
if anyone enquires,
I won’t let them see,
life isn't done by phone,
doesn't sound like a choir,
why should anyone groan,
my small cup of whiskey,
brighter than the fire,
will put me in key,
I know what I know,
forget poisoned desire,
just leave me to glow,
whoever needs certainty,
alaways asking for hire,
maybe they'll get a peak,
if someone moans,
says that I perspire,
watch out for their bones,
come down on their jiminy,
sing high on the wire,
pray for serendipity,
I'm no burst tyre.

Zoey
I stand in afternoon sunlight
looking at the dead,
wonder if they're alright
colors of the early spring,
is it something i've said
between Me and his amber need,
grass is green before night,
geese fly overhead,
my vision appears on overdrive,
do some wear a ring,
sloping, honking, to the Year ahead,
kidding me stood perspiring,
why I chose to fight,
should kick him out instead,
a burden to my flight
standing in that yard looking,
solemn at those whose tread,
sung me all my comfort,
all the love they blessed.

Yana
A tune as sweet as sunday,
to settle in our bones,
help us bless the way ,
we sit on side fair game,
leave us well alone,
all our friends the same,
before they make us face,
bitter seeds they've sown,
at least show us grace,
my eyes have gone tame,
all the love we've known,
turn it into shame,
how we need to praise,
when you deal with stones,
that crack and wash away,
won't make a gaunt face,
use fake promissory notes,
a moon let's us slay,
your callow jokes.

Xareni
Will they bind my feet,
use me in the old ways,
put chains around my knees,
i leave it upto you,
in your stupid craze,
to get me far from view,
as memory of home recedes,
and other houses merely fade,
who will hear me weep,
forget those somnolent crews,
with eyes as big as graves,
no one else will do,
in gardens of St Bedes,
acts of love confer grace,
bypass all uncertainty,
don't ignore the few,
when we struggle to face,
how to play this tune,
strew kindness to our sleep,
bring askance to our days,
let us learn to recieve,
a voice in golden haze.

Places south east of love,
what it means to be,
sunk deep in the dust,
no windmills on hills nearby,
just a little yellow scree,
what else would you find,
take a measure or a glug,
you can’t wriggle away,
escape this parchment trust,
give a small collective cry,
why build heaps like these,
what purlieus they prescribe,
it just won't do to Cuss,
think of water running free,
life sometimes needs a plug,
look at these empty skies,
are we raised on the cheap,
I am only asking why,
we can't live by the sea ?

Viola
Reading makes us wise,
what they tell us anyway,
hold my head up high,
from the mountain breeze,
brings memory of his ways,
mighty rivers unleash,
love to billowing skies,
join the mighty waves,
i could gaze and die,
I'm telling you baby,
tears stream across my face,
you're a fool to leave me,
threshing in the night,
burning ancient flames,
our paths gone from sight,
a necklace holds my keep,
makes me seem a lady,
I gave you choices creep,
set my heart ablaze

Ulani
If nothing scares us by day,
how can we be happy,
when night times rage,
we are never alone,
but it takes such energy,
God tells us so,
we all know some say,
what's fate or destiny,
but then who ascertains,
living here among the bones,
Americans don't do uncertainty,
women and men finely honed,
celebrate softly by the way,
departed hollow fraternity,
my moods calmed by rain,
different from Mrs Jones,
who would want to state,
be witness to and condone,
what's done in my name.

If we're good we'll address,
love we're holding still,
toil by water to confess,
take the time to pray,
how we'll eat our fill,
let others mend our aches,
strange days land at rest,
our eyes beyond the hills,
help us face such duress,
deserts bode an empty fame,
a sextant makes us shrill,
dancing sight of sea again,
God will find us blessed,
our ship's waiting thrill,
a flight to change address,
no more fear than gain,
nighttime proves our skill,
fix our battered sails,
hope you cannot kill.

Suzie
She dances without asking why ,
it's what she likes to do,
gives it one more try,
all the love she's shown,
comes blowing back to you,
makes it one last throw,
worms beneath her feet deny,
fishing baskets are their due,
everyone has the same right,
and the lover she's outgrown,
no more hides at truth,
warms its own cold bones,
are there any easy nights,
other than doodle doo,
bankers hang you out to dry,
won't go back to loans,
her bond's beyond the sky,
done with strutting moaners,
shipwrecks of design.

River
If you would only see,
in this strange slattern light,
ballast carries no sympathy,
cough from a cigarette throat,
look up at swollen skies,
why let drink keep you afloat,
it won't stand scrutiny,
this somehow baleful plight,
a waste of God's sympathy,
when you travel the coast,
find what's lost at night,
not a wind that chills you most,
this latest trip's no guarantee,
between you and lost rights,
how you want to be,
you knows that it's toast,
to eschew dreams even slight,
Cmon now gather your boat,
laugh at running tides.

Queenie
Without a cent or Dime,
i don't like who I've been,
now I'm just fine,
I've chewed on many bones,
darkness filled my dreams,
guilt would bring it home,
first remedy is good wine,
wear skirts below the knee,
never mess with trash designs,
had my dealinngs to atone,
it never set me free,.
forgiveness runs up my nose,
just gather up my crimes,
a gift to make serene,
bale them with blue twine,
pass to someone full of hope,
like an angel from the sea,
every day brings new scope,
laughter's my sense of ease.
I mean it this time,
create my own third degree,
I really have to try.

The nurses sneer at jokes,
more than say go home,
skim our path with stones,
i check the light again,
wonder where we'll go,
escape this awful rain,
each week the wind blows,
where we sleep in shadows,
no one heeds the scarecrow,
we listen for daily trains,
hear their empty echoes,
commuters circle our lanes,
when sunlight heats the bones,
we tend to swim below,
pockets full of notes,
the future's not to blame,
it's a gambler's last throw,
don't really feel the shame,
fire burns at our toes.

You say take me high,
as if i am a plane,
thank the great divine,
all the blessings he bestows,
come back again,
know I'm better off alone,
you've had your time,
as if it's all a game,
better not to lie,
oh you're going home,
where they feel the rain,
a harbour where ships go,
on that east coast side,
they know about pain,
when something's not right,
your wrist around me slows,
I smile and shake again,
don't wait upon the flow,
now you're on your way.

Nova
Don't talk the old ways,
beg to understand,
in harsh and stupid forays,
irritance in your tone,
sprinkling off your hands,
too scared to be alone,
a frightened path to trace ,
the giving of a chance,
love don't hamper your days,
somewhere in your bones,
something wants to plan,
forget the damage done,
what's this show for anyway,
you whistle out your chants,
say my happiness is key,
is this what you crave,
shrug and measueew distance,
all I need to stay,
is rescued if you dance.

Melanie
Birds can't raise a tune,
till they hear me moan,
know I sing the Blues,
sat in bars making bets,
I pine for stools of gold,
is this how good it gets,
a match stick struck in ruin,
my eyes sparkle and roam,
how to please the room,
I don't pay any rent,
someone gives me loans,
better than money spent,
a dinky drop of moon,
arrives through winter dawn,
it's not the best Saloon,
why let it make me fret,
I''ll be back to own,
it won't beat me yet,
listen to my song.

Leah
I flutter ike a scarecrow,
as dance comes upon me,
imagine when the wind blows,
don't need a cross to perch,
my only demand is honesty,
measure distance avoid lurch,
sometimes worry how I know,
thinking only of the seed,
how its scattered and thrown,
will it always hurt,
never to go gently,
the same is said in church,
even if my hopes are torn,
deep within directly,
hope still fills my bones,
much bigger than my shirt,
put it down to destiny,
this field amidst the dirt,
saints pray quietly.

Kylie
She starts to gently croon,
join me in my cradle,
life goes by too soon,
the difference is the dollar,
she builds a spending frame,
twirling sipping vodka,
no note of impending doom,
all my friends are sane,
nothing to suggests ruin,
who will feel her collar,
they're now beyond shame,
playing lottery rollovers,
what passes for the truth,
won't resist the rain,
she ties to stays aloof,
who among us is bothered,
she cries the baby's name,
laughs away her troubles,
isnt it all a game ?

play the the fool,
they know of your plight,
say what they can't do,
you try to condone,
all cards marked,
you're not that far,
just down the freeway
Jan
Fling that watch away,
you always look too much
fallen like a snowflake,
dont go and stand alone,
rage against the rush,
cry under winter's dome,
nothing's more to say.
make this brief time flash,
before they drive him away,
he'll find his life boned,
in a cold second stretch.
all those summer's gone,
they know about your state,
the sky's a common touch,
it offers a kindly face,
he leaves without a stone,
your house is nothing plush,
books and music do console,
the pain is nothing such.

Indy
Smoking a lucky star,
chasing numbers,
going kicks the door ajar,
right from the start,
dreaming and bewildered,
she bumped a bar,
the same calendar,
my Da says he wonders,
jail will tear her apart,
then she bought a car,
wheels that thundered,
laughs to see her park,
ten years after my ma,
i still hear her laughter,
from the Apple and afar,
she had a great heart,
but all got bungled,
didn't hear a truck's horn,
love always hungers.

Harriet
I'll smell like an ashtray,
Robin Camilla or Stevie,
if I let them habitate,
inside my dreams,
they'll cut my wires,
deep as a coal seam,
let them go on their way,
someone then will realise,
what I want to say,
listening to their schemes,
all the old talk's ire,
brushes a cackle of leaves,
hung beneath December's days,
mouthing being free,
makes me whisper God's sake,
run beside the icy sea,
dance the tingling tide,
that's where I want to be,
riding on the sky.

Gracie
you're a fool to go away,
the cafe'where i keep,
guard to burn the flame,
Ice and blue skies
colors all my eye sweep,
distances other why's,
you had nowhere to go
a leather coat for sleep,
dancing year of the blow,
the time your da died,
set his pigeons free,
the symbol of their line,
Liverpool under snow,
geese rise from the fields,
my hair appears to grow,
white on one side,
sloping, honking, blowing,
into a New Year's flight,
struggle to keep it going,
am I lucky just at ease,
standing in the combing,
calling on the breeze.

Mary the Catholic Queen,
would not let the clamps,
be attached to her Wean,
for son James's baptismal,
common for left footers,
she waved Scots holy missal,
all about that scene,
I heard of unlit lamps,
out to crush her dream,
she never turned to fossil,
refused to act a tramp,
escape the blade's long kiss,
like a Sunday has been,
an out of town chancer,
she rode seemly thru Stirling,
they mourned her passing
very few danced
when they heard what happened,
what a bloody heave,
I was reading of her past,
in New York's central library,
my face was damp.

Della
By the garden door,
of Our Lady of Sorrow,
we witness the poor,
across Catherine Street,
their eyes forlorn,
seeking linen and charity,
the soul of lost hordes,
accompany them home,
some laugh as they walk,
who needs fresh sheets,
when they can wallow,
to this state of being,
commissioned then taught,
you don't need to follow,
when all truth is caught,
swollen and breached.
and every part swallowed,
twisted and divvied,
spun to a perfect nought,
so never need to borrow,
even their teeth ,
between moon and sea.

Chelsea
In a supermarket yard,
her lovely face crossed,
torn by pain and dark,
naked uncovered yet,
her trolley for a host,
to where they lay bets,
a spirit without a spark,
laid out here in frost,
its a rare clerk,
not put to the test,
when clearing up the cost,
smiles at their best,
she also works at Primark,
and shops at Hugo Boss,
the contrast's too stark,
who could ever forget,
what hurts the most,
death so close to a convent,
if there's ever a chart,
to work out our trust,
bring food to no lost,
no one's beneath us.
