We share jokes and put, hopes on those who can, geese rise in the dusk, no one wears a crown, to be ushered onto trams, or put others down, those of us in want, are always on the lam, to see what's crossed, in our Ocean town, everything is panned, ships ply on the Sound, someone whose for laughs, who doesnt wear a mask, carries a hint of musk, everywhere on trust, she's never on her pants, grins before the dust, lives a life we can't,

Queeney

Don't sway in the rain, swear it’s the others, who brought you this state, hope you can diffuse , costs you can recover, butter them with truth, is it that portrait, a hang dog front cover, that carries your name, whatever you choose, why curse or bother, just pay them what's due, whiskey fires the brain, life's a load of trouble, don’t ask me to pay, impose a dawn curfew, look after your brother, despite all the feuds, our family's your buffer.

Parker

If I warm my toes, around your fire, you can't then deny, a bet you'll surely lose, so many have tried, mistake me for a fool, don't chance to blow, down telephone lines, who you think will glow, can you sing the blues, make a gee tar twine, work the other tools , never more than know, if you play it right, you'll need more vows, I come from smoky virtue, down a mountain line, show me how yuur truth, settles with my wine.

Olivia

When you demand a phone, from an airport in Quatar, don’t say love’s a joke, a fuel trail all we use, searching skies near and far, trying to fix the fuse, Saints may reveal the bones, some leave the door ajar, passion can't fly alone, whoever picks a Digi feud, in a crowded airport bar, has nothing left to lose, are we anywhere near home, a tarmac strip too far, no longer to bumble along, his is not a pleasant view, even within yellow zones, life circles around us, hear the engines roar.

Natalie

Look out for your train, a face cut like stone, someone to show the way, forget the first time, those who wait to board, maybe the worrying kind, taking notes you say, some thoughts are our own, others can float away, who knows to take flight, what we keep we own, with these tracks in mind, rub against the grain, feel you’re not alone, carrying too much freight, our cargoes might unwind, others just unfold, nothing changes deep inside, let's keep going

Mona

Look in the mirror girl, don’t I look a fright, days it makes me scared, my eyes dance away, they don't want to see, the fear in my shape, sorry about the hurt, caused by being me, someone has to care, a kind word to say, helps me in my need, makes me feel great, why worry when I slur, rue the might have beens, when i I walk upstairs, brings a kind of ease, nights I'm off the rails, don't worry about my teeth, find a ship that sails.

Lily

Shove desperate news, set a passage clear, nothing else will do, don’t bring bad home, it will cost you dear, scare you living alone, leave nothing to rue, make your life a spear, take aim at the blues, if this makes you groan, list what else you fear, fling it on the stones, there are countless rules, keep good visions near, bin stuff that's unused, just take another loan, dab perfume on your ears, a path where you’re born, savour food not gruel, pray for any lost tears, they are part of you, ride the battered years.

Kai

Don’t laugh at stupid fate, if you're wearing red, find gold in any stake, it’s not what you do, to always stay ahead, betting's for nincompoops, know the latest rates, scrabble beneath your bed, never rise too late, win games in every School, store them in the shed, know what value's true, OK you carry weight, say it gives you cred, maybe suits your taste, in these time of feuds, settle with your head, keep a place of solitude, act like you’ve fled.

Josie

A sum of untidy ways, puts our moves on hold, others shout in rage, you say all the time, let others take over, break the laws with wine, for those consumed by hate, waves will kiss our toes, be all gentle today, why scream on landlines, fling your mobile phone, you're not here to cry, bells might ring out late, don't worry what’s foretold, love's better than fate, life is just a sign, that measures dust not gold, fling dirty linen aside, not here to be alone.

Isla

In darkness and grain blue, please give me a sign, release this stupid fool, it’s not me gone cold, when you broke the light, others that you've shown, don’t play me sad tunes, tongues ache to ask why, all the stuff blew, nothing left to hold, in your new found life, is it that I'm old, I care about such issues, eyes in constant flight, mine drained bruised, introduce the new wife, stay with me she moans, no way to fix this lie, whoever loves alone.

Hermoine

Why live life by drops, no poem or big sea, make the blue lights stop, your words only create, jail at top speed, hung on some lousy frame, latticed with coughs, hest not to sneeze, let them know who's top, a frenzied little game, winds around your nees, you have to stay sane, show them who's boss, everyone squeezed, wrapped in kitchen cloth, empty pockets can't delay, how you’ve gone to seed, lost touch holding sway, look at me ?

Georgia

Please don't moan, shuffle your feet, I'll soon be home, a knife to my throat, knows where you've been, does it keep us going, we just need a stone, to throw into the sea, another edge to hone, do you dine with ghosts, happy I'm your queen, casting our lots, you let the wind blow, is that what you mean, about being lost, in your old leather coat, try to catch moonbeams, say all runaway souls, hold onto dreams.

Finnley

Memories of your face, so eager to please, you've left here again, recoiled at my thunder, God what conceit, a man fixed by numbers, they tell me too late, am such a fool to tease, you'll fix me a place, a path uncluttered, my insides heave, will be a wonderful lover, I work every day , while you're still asleep, eat breakfast half way, it makes you wonder, bills, food, mortgage rates who splits who asunder, who, I hear you say?

Etta

He smiles and comes by, laughs kids and fiddles, says what's said lies, keeps a cheerful mien, writes on yellow lists, new clothes all in vain, then he starts to cry, weeps what he's missed, what's wrong with life, why he's in the frame, searching for a kiss, knows what's thrown away, forget the bitter times, when it’s hit and miss, he'll just keep trying, his dreams here to stay, sorry that I'm pissed, can't we start again, days of heavy tides, stars come out like milk, it's not some other guy, makes the moon shift.

Demi

Brilliant bones sculptures your face, a life without flaws the need to be free, an aspect of your game, how to stay happy, you hover by the door, turn up on fame, others will follow, taste salt by the sea, many think you’re game, foster their belief, you number each zone, circle each day, where does time go, stones and glass pieces, honour your name, but age won't cease, even washed by rain.

Catherine

Limpid pools swim, whisper your name, your ship has come in, doesnt bring what's due, a brilliant ocean, disturbs our view, when we live like this, is it just a game, learning how to give, how lovely these ruins, warm history's trace, do they bring any truth, birds on the wing skim, we’re here in a daze, guide our troubled whims, the sea is lemon blue, my face is drained, I turn back to you, turn up the flame.

Bayley

Chained to our days, here to beg forgive, all the mess we made, best not to moan, nor want to rescind, what’s lost in loans, forget our smart gaze, we bumble in bliss, stuck like cellophane, left all alone, to consider the grift, put jelly on our bones, celebrate each way, we'll love on a trip, it’s more than trade, drift in the time zones, learn how to give, going to the hole, make the most of this.

Anneka

A flower by my side, just some little token, now i am the bride, ribbons in my hair, a silk train to follow, have accepted your care, stupid to ask why, accept I've been chosen, is it my turn to fly, forget all prior hurt, angel memories broken, now set off red flares, heavens hear my cry, not drunken or coaxed, what is there to deny, all I now share, warm in my soaking, you with me here, has love really spoken?.

Zephyrina

Dance in poor girls shoes, sing songs on the wire, always pay your dues, it’s what my mama scolds, don’t pause for any flyer, waiting to be told, each little bit of you, balances out for hire, stay and face the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one goes it alone, if your choice of ruin, sings louder than a choir, beat away those Blues, know in your bones, when others conspire, just enough to show, you're not a liar.

Yasmin

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, listen to the rain, bring me sunlit avenues, not a roof that leaks, forget about rent due, somewhere far away, places that don't sleep, I’ve had enough of fakes, say you’ll see me soon, before I start to weep, cry in lavender rooms, will you rue this day, when crazy inner needs, all come out to play, station flowers bloom, love drips in the trees, soaked and out of tune, can you hear the sea?

Xareni

If you are so aware, think you’re so great, who am I to care, am looking for a home, a country to fit my face, you're too far gone, a heavy hand to bear, the shaking down of fate, you'll find me awake here, heaven measures its zones, then a voice fades, stars are left all alone, you chained me to a chair, planned your great escape, an easy Florida timeshare, birds fill me with song, don’t claw at my traces, I've done nothing wrong, let me go my way.

Virginia

A diagnosis only half true, I can tell the time, on a tree-lined avenue, you act like you know, in the ties that bind, breathe deep on my bones, hope holds you aloof, to see if they’re right, why accept bitter fruit, you won't be alone, in this dawning light, this house doesn't groan, I'll sit near the flue, it's not a crime, let a fire warm you, you have to keep going, each steepled night, when the kid's phone, say oh she's fine.

Ully

Will you stay the same, behind your screen, smile as we dissipate, catch days when fine, the lovely plane trees hazy bars sipping wine, now on an early train, tell me how you feel, are you tired this game, believe me am not crying, won't beg to receive, a love that's no crime, but what does it take, is it my dawn novena, to bring you back again, when you sail the line, laughing at the blue sea, can trucculent stars align, for our waves to meet?

Teagan

It's been a while, so there you go, a weight in my side, when donkeys bray, or the cock crows, let me have my say, no need to unbind, what we barely own, walk all these miles, a star shows the way, frozen bright alone, not here to play, if you don't mind, it's not your show, remember the time, hear music play, wrapped in the snow, is this our holy day, so light me a fire, desire in my soul, try to be kind, don't put me on hold.

Scarlett

Must you take sugared tea, sweeteners lachrymose, little jokes your repartee, once you might have glowed, I suppose, but still live at home, will pain starts to ease, riding out the blow, if you discount uncertainty, earth spins on its globe, something you can't close, a door behind a stone, who needs the sea, why bother to roam, when you have Ma's equity, kids are on the 'phone, fix a drink for three, all's well you know, is there space for me?

Riley

Forget that crime will you, the sentence to come, drink red wine and feud, replace those burst lips, what passes for love, won’t alter this, digest broken fugues, say you’re no good, dipn't care for truth, all that makes you skip, is there to discover, you only need a ship, never to entwine, your silence in blood, delete fragments of time, you’re not so much bitter, to hand out the scrubs, laugh like big hitters, pull on your gloves.

Quiana

Your kisses leave me, shivering on the train, tongues beset by family, your walled off news, runs across my face, more Gospel than Blues, I know I believe, but a troubling grain, burrows deep inside, who turns the screw, at these house gates, when looking for truth, a swollen handkerchief, a six pack crate, empties stars on the sea, sometimes think cruel, how life can be, but before darkness looms, I regain my dreams.

Penelope

They say get a grip, falling off the bar rail, listen mister i'm no drip, don't need booze to pray, sooth my tender state, the quest never goes away, juicers have surly lips, manacled to credit slates, others take coins and flip, tired jokes and spirits crave, different times of day, a lie in everything to date, it makes the eyes dip, cheeks sunk as hollows plates, wonder I'll make this trip, won’t know how to sleep, if I can juggle fate, let faith take a leap, forgive all my ways.

Ophelia

Is this really the case, to ask for reasons why, a place holds such shame, glazed by loss and show, he beats out his time, he's nowhere else to go, soaked on a distant train, desolate in his cry, he drinks whiskey straight, what I need to know, no longer tests the why, is he still my Romeo, when he jumps bail, boxcar irons safe to ride, he says we can’t fail, his lips won’t go, near this sweethearts lies, witness hie furrows, no easy way to fake, the way I turn aside, he'll love me to his grave, eyes open wide.

Nancy

Sometimes when I’m beat, dancing in a common lair, think to rescue everything, love is just the same, heaven's a place to share, not just a poker game, in the depths of need, please let me take care, even if it's not easy, to forget my good name, say that I'm always there, become a right pain, but know how to keep, a wooden face on stairs, bars to wet my beak, anyone can feel shame, scolding on hard chairs, if they bring out chains, I won’t stay here.

Maria

Is this how we stimulate, our inventive best, when we twist and shake, prise every back door, to mend our fences, if we'll wake up sore, fuelled in what we take, is our life a test, little time to calibrate, fools sing for applause, we just want some rest, lead us off this floor, the night's cool probate, scatters our truculence, can agonised stars relate, pity the wandering poor, why ask for pennance, we could do much more, than show our ignorance.

Lainey

If water's in the blood, in this house of whispers, who says it does no good, places you want to claim, don't come without risk, I'll sing my song anyway, dilute the time gone bust, grab at all of this, let me seek his trust, take another train, do what love insists, knowledge is always gain, maybe I need a tug, to sail without a ship, mouth bitter as dust, search for salt again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame, the ocean always gives.

Kamila

You'll pay a heavy score, my eyes are savage blue, love is a running sore, my sense of ease, lies always in the gloom, you never did say please, I’m not just a whore, sat here dressed for you, a football to your cause, it’s worse on the street, no one brings good news, silence if someone screams, I hack at lonely chores, turn my life askew, sweat in a furious pause, why shout and swear at me, giving out your spume, only fools don’t see, my need rid of you.

Janey

Forget all these clowns, that come to woo you, many without a sound, as loud as my woes, ships blow their hooters, everyone sings of home, it's not just my gowns, that makes sailors swoon, but the very how, I glide about the floor, among shipwrecks and schooners, would rather be alone, nothing’s quite like calm, when party eyes look ruined, everything has a charm, am not on my bones, in Ocean faded boozers, not about to stormw, when midnight comes

irene

I still hear Granpa, laughing like a foghorn, it all seems so far, happy he's not alone, or left forlorn. I put down the 'phone, like a toddler's spark, he’s a rising star, with a new partner now, apart from his heart, that's out of the Ark, the Pacemaker's not sure, where does it comes from, I can’t find a chart, that says he's 81, whatever thinks Grandma, a trip to the park, in old shirts he's worn, is it life's tome, when things fall apart, love has no form, but just carries on ?

Hayley

It's quiet here now, after many year of greed, my face smooth as stone, can still see the place, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body’s like snow, roses rustle the turnpike, when it starts to blow, give me the name, where lies serenity, not just on feast days, owls fly as silent souls, against a moonlit field, rest upon my shoulder, geese honk on their way, late for the season, I'm just the same, where is me ?

Gina

Why keep trouble at bay, if all you require, to mwelt problems away, is pester me for loans, your eyes seek the tide, wish you were alone, I stumble in the haze, search for some desire, make out I'm brave, scared to your bones, they call you samall fry, may chase you with guns, you want to escape, scissor out your wife, she's the one who saves, and wishes to expose, these candlelit nights, then leave on her own, yo seek out the light.

Felicity

Don't say it's too late, love’s not on your list, reach for your skates, the earth'S on tbe choke, a weatherbell of a stitch, like me it's broke, someone begs for change, who is paying for this, would be rude to berate, spin around this road, who wants little bits, don't they know I'm gone, working in this place, hwlps me to resist, launderette wash my face, a little smile's abroad, with all the other misfits, who’ve never got the joke, is something missing?

Emilia

I’m set to leave, my soul on a wire, will you rescue me, in your eye’s amour, want to do what's right, he doesnt know the score, rocks me gently, says everything ‘s fine, don't worry baby, my heart's a lost cause, all my deeds entwined, scattered on the floor, glamorous, perfect, serene, he kisses me quietly, that how I want to be, a perfect troubador, maybe it's all a lullaby, amid the swell of water, adrift on the tide.

Denny

You blurt out the news, on troubled nights, like you scrunch a menu, all your different phones, light in coloured lights, you can't be alone, flames blaze in different hues, don't tell me how to cry, say love always leaves you , it’s not me you want, swimming against the tide, when it all goes hollow, no matter what you lose, however much you try, no one is immune, you'll always be blocked, touching something deep inside, unless you turn the lock, are you worth the ride?

Cass

You wonder why I pray, with kids like these, would make you go insane, run a bath with foam, not living with the need, just the soak all alone, I see again your face, forget to say cheese, watch horizons dim in rain, but in wind and stones, something inspires belief, assists the journey home, fires me through my days, makes all my troubles cease, standing by the fray, each doubtful tone, suddenly dances free, even when we’re storming, love is still in me.

Billie

Before my fame, I only thought of you, of what you'd say, shadows in blue smoke, pale against an awful truth, shocked again I'm broke, you always did play, in fields of successful tunes, now its a different age, at the nite clubs alone, long lonely rooms, you saw me stripped to bone, inside the best cafe's, flowers and low lamps bloom, showed me how to create, the hold of a simple note, am sorry i didn't sooth, what you wanted to know, It's hardly news.

Amelia

Can you tell me exactly, why does the back door, hang between moon and sky, what has been buried, and other parts ignored, on this winter night, don't need an inquiry, when truth is sought, then takes flight, witness the time, when we walked forloorn, to reach for the sight, some stand politely, bring as they're taught, to makes others happy, every walk of life, ends with a nought, those who delight, ring fog bells ashore.

Zaylee

I need to talk now, stepping off this train, get my head put on, he skims me like a stone, doesn’t see anyone anyway, the street he calls home, there is absolute no news, how it will go today, given his mock veritude, , he arranged all the loans, brought me to a strabge way, thought I'd tag along, now look at what's new, my voice flares and fades, except it’s not my issue, what he did was wrong, when he tried to erase, all my sense of strong, watch me judge his fate.

Yara

You scatter good deeds, like pennies on the bar, kisses are'nt a creed, grab at all my pay, leave the door ajar, it's the way you behave, days wrung out like these, a message in a bottle, makes me want to scream, in a different age, you’d drive a Packard, now you're just bailed,, what do you see, in that warm hazy fog, salt of childhood being, let me dance away, I'm the stuff you're not, go on then leave today, lost amongst the stars.

Xareni

Sometimes ask myself why, we can ever atone, stars blink in my eyes, might as well be Mars, for all I know, we're out that far, dreams fall on tough times, winds ride blue and cold, sat here out of sight, if it's love you want, don't get me thrown, sorry that I started, when you hear me cry, say it's no fun alone, , not enough to sigh, shape up buy a car, stay away from drongos, who needs another war, hard enough here Joe.

Vita

Wouldn't it be great, to forget what we owe, celebrate our gains, kick the righteous wrongs, when scalpers skin our bones, within us all our song, keep a watch for rain, berate the City's dopes, play along the freeway, we'll just carry on, fly with all we know, have faith in being strong, float our time and say, be pure as driven snow, this is our own Cabaret, I’ll never let you down, worry about the loans, no need to waer a frown, love can only grow.

Ully

Gazing at a tramp, stood by a tree shaking, staying there looking damp, listen to some muted song, inside me one never fails, face the need to belong, better not take a chance, cautious of this silly game, test myself for balance, hope I’m not wrong, looking at the rain, pehaps he'll play along, ask how much his path, is sweetened from my gains, no more pennies to cast, maybe he'll hold my locket, say sister you're great, turn gold in his pocket, it somegow makes me laugh, quick to praise each day. what do I get out of this, shuffle my remains? ,

Taylor

C’mon don’t let me flail, a snowball left to dance, inside rooms darkest pale, I always play the fool, waiting for the chance, maybe some path to smooth, nothing more to say, so little is pure grant, when we play away, I rage against your news, lilac at a lonely repast, how it feeds our feuds, my life's a freight train, brakes always slammed, lead me to the homegate, tell me what to do, please God make a stance, I'm nobody’s fool, help me gain my balance. .

Sammy

Who threw away the years, every age has its must, laughs and happy tears, any life's too short, for the ones you trust, a pale toil of waters, you ran wawy from here, within the falling dusk, stars saw you dance clear, knew you’d be sought, spinning pennies for luck, brought back to Court, you lived free from fear on this tidal flood, was it me too insincere, not being overawed, did you ask too much, the fact now you're bust, blow flame across my fears, give me back your touch, laugh before you disappear, that's what I thought,

Rose

Who needs a shrink, when a lover somehow, always wants a drink, one day he might stroll, down roads up and down, most times he lies low, know what they think, always misses the morrow, his head down a sink, a display all his own, to show he’s no clown, outrage now he’s gone, face like an ice rink a whole investment blown, I work and don't think, who will want me now, tear up my best gown, heavy as a wooden pole, politics dull pink, sweat shines my brow, he left without a blink, who am I to wallow ? .

Quinley

Don't want to say no , ask you to sign, allay those bitter tones, know what’s at issue, when you burn like fire, set all dreams loose, chances are I’ll follow, kids dancing on a tyre, nowhere else to go , you play at the fool, mouth what is right, I recognise the tune, won't accept this farrago, in morning’s cold light, rooms without windows, places smoky blue, where you lose sight, of what is before you, please let me know, if I’m on your mind, riding high on the blow, not wasting my time.

Pamela

I read and hums a tune, say its stupid to lie, just want shut of you, like a dog far from home, you don't want to fight, but droop to be alone, the elephant in the room, heaves another sigh, talk of kids makes you blue, always late coming home, your eyes a constant why, worries if I'm done, he can blow the juice, sick of terrible denying, asks what else to lose, guilty people do atone, but his snuffled lies, crook like a country road, can i speak some truth, my hands address the light, have no more need of you, go take a dive..

Ollie

You who own the night, the wind hushed sand dunes, do you wonder why, I need a cheerful romeo, carpet beat the blues, always on the go, dismiss the bitter times, all the cruel untruths, these are welcome times, dreams of flying solo, wrecked when I see you, since your last show, the air plashes by, the evening's getting cool, some wait all their lives, if i touch the stones, let fingers feel the spume, know what's gone before, men whistle as passing by, I laugh and hum a tune, say it's stupid to lie, my heart’s a dry saloon.

Nora

Will you be the same, a smile across the street, each time we separate, the dollars and the dimes, shelves stacked like wheat, in bars drinking wine, now comes the morning shame, not just with my feet, all of this tired game, No I'm not fine, why come back to me, besiege me with your lies, what does it take, to say my dawn novena, have you leave again, spiky as a porcupine, your story is no odysseyy, maybe now is my time, don't want just remains, while my concience deepens, cars fill up their lanes, I hear you singing.

Marie

Now and then he’s right, am I just skimming, foam gathers in the light, like the river on the Bank, shining, arrowing, twisting, he's the heart of a crank, loves the sunrise, knows his online following, people around wonder why, lungs open like a tank, arms raised to the sky, you better tell him frank, next to him like a bride, my eyes moist and filling, he mouths a loving sigh, hair tobacco blonde dank, a whole life of swimming, thinks he's back on track, dances to the tide, his life is just beginning, my smile is like a knife, fresh, alive, winning..

Laney

He smiles across the beach, a flash that lights the bay, salt crusts on his jeans, danger in your eyes, something in your fate, no need to question why, dab Cologne for the heat, walk with serious mien, take in the pine trees, he won’t toe the line, blonde wild hair untamed, no-one has to cry, life has set him free, seaweed is the cocktail, silk from a silken sea, red tiles shine on paradise, women whisper his name, just one step at a time, speaking truth is never easy, when drink is the flame, no place here for Odyssey, organise my escape.

Kaia

It's quiet here now, after years of the need, my face smooth as snow, can still see the place, where praise be, our lives will be saved, arrived on the blow, to this shiny new sea, it's done now you know, grant us the days, please help me to see, the good in my ways, men with barren tones, say have one on me, I've been here before, they plead for a stay, for only one reason, to me it’s the same, in this new dawn, bells ring expessively, no one lies at home, all as it should be.

Jan

Nothing’s left at stake, sing any song you choose, seek eternal escape, now your on your bones, he won't be wanting you, tell him you're not alone, reason says it's too late, to heal any broken dues, like a brigand seek escape, another rolling stone, makes all of it a tune, don't worry if I'll cope, find some tide or sail, any sea will do, other lovers lie in wait, no knife to the throat, lets me sail to the blue, find out what unfolds, cast on a watery fate, be captain of the purview, eat Oranges on shipping lanes, Life your greatest muse.

Ileen

Why is it always you, that makes it seem, every day brings good news, not meant to live alone, lucky I don't know unease, ensconced in my new home, if the wind blows cruel, it won't stop my dreams, even if I shed a few, come over here dead slow, dance that twisted beat, love me with mellow tones, sing when I need a tissue, now is just our symmetry, our walk on golden avenues, even on the days you moan, it's always easy, to forget those blue notes, laugh the way you do, it's never just your beliefs, nothing frightens you, am I a prisoner released ?.

Helena

A cold wind blows, it brings out my seer, sudden like shining snow, pearl doves arch above, nothing else comes near, breasts blaze with love, shimmer in work clothes, my smile is not a fear, there are no antidotes, along my weather front, even if I take a beer, fly to those who give, their visions blown, they need some cheer, lifetimes left to grown, find the will to shrug, whatever ails me here, engage another lover, I design you know, in these killer years, sail from stern to bow, let me it make clear.

Georgie

I need another home, somewhere warm to stay, now that you’re gone, what else should I do, ship out all the waste, forget that other Dude, all my troubled notes, take comfort in each day, when I'm most alone, the sea is lemon blue, skin tingles with spray, makes me feel brand new, deep in my bones, know this is the way, being present on my own, something to the good, stops to laugh and say, why act like a fool, brilliant pheromones, might whisper your name, but riding on the ozone, know I'll be OK.

Farah

I'm not your big sea, the yellow light hid, so much more to me, you ask about my lovers, all their surly needs, they don’t have my number, what I need to live, to inculcate belief, is test all my limits, find a place of wonder, witness life gently, no stripped down covers, red nails and ribbons, enough to receive, life's wondrous gifts, enslaved or encumbered, forever making journeys, sway in sweet slumber, don't think I'm limpid, by title or deed, a matchstick to rivers, watch me succeed.

Ellie

Here in my angry Saloon, I play this mad game, does it do me any good, shadows make strokes, across the dirty panes, why shocked I'm broke, chords of a twangy hue, shift my guitar play, orange beats the gloom, down this long road, they say loss is gain, tell to him who chokes, But I still hold a tune, across wooden tables, seeping through perfume, I'll never be done, with him off the rails, but there's always one, due north are the Dunes, lying over the lake, what happens to truth, does it make waves?

Della

From a café’ that’s dark, her lovely face shadows, she sees supermarket yards, dressed in night’s sentience, across trolley she’s heard, the bums take any bet, spirits rise with a spark, she sings like a sparrow, allows herself to carry on, it’s a rare essence, not cut to the marrow, when heeding life's lesson, she can’t forget that lot, they don’t fire arrows, precise in each movement, but feels in their presence, a list bred with sorrow, what to give as presents, if there’s ever a chart, to tick off forebearance, she earns full marks, all of us vagrants

Callie

I live in a haze, sheltered from the wind, stuck like cellophane, best not to moan, to set a new trend, I just need a loan, won’t jump the train, disappear from the land, use stuff to ingrrain, in my best clothes, I enjoy being kept, even on my bones, can a whole life change, not being friends, love's more than trade, when someone groans, I’ll reach for a pen, sign me over the code, stoke up a blaze, break free of sin, call out your name, he'll understand.

Briana

Dreamy lines won't hurt, enough to crack, into my golden world, silken tents thrown, never collapse, held fast by stones, plates sometimes hurled, whatever holds us back, smiles at cigarette curl, my mind is full blown, other don't always last, consider my lovely home, who can be perturbed, how much love has passed, find ideas well turned, joy is a constant hope, make life hold me fast, before the gentle slope, scribes write or burn, set upon their path, turn my flame up high, let me feel the blast.

Annie

We can sometimes squeeze, from each breath taken, a moment of ease, it makes me swoon, an unwashed face happy, in this bohemian room, outside's a sycamore tree, cars park in the rain, sunlight cuts the breeze, they’re playing our tune, forget lovely holidays, a lorry goes by vroom, painting feeds our frenzy, the bed is a cradle, stars above eternity, we dance on the avenue, each worry tossed away, find our own good news, hear bartenders speak, go go baby create, laugh at the lovely beat, love is what remains.

Zara

Love holds the door ajar, my hair falls down unkind, nowhere gets me very far, am pretty on a stool, drink a little wine, God knows I need a few, you ask about my Da, Oh he’s fine, stuck as usual at the Bar, the money he blew, within that sourball light, poured for another fool, cruising in her fast car, he jokes around her lies, thinks he's a real star, there’s nothing cool, about the hurt inside, except its part of you, wish i wasn't such a nark tears fall from my eyes, wonder why I'm scarred, staring at my time.

Xara Jane

I'm forever beat, even with a common air, hope rescues everything, have a lot of lovers but not much left in there, sometimes blame my mother, I need to shuffle up, heaven is a place to share, sometimes need a shove, when I’ve gone to seed, have a go at taking care, it's not easy being me, get dressed feel the rub, am never short of prayer, a signal to those above, I know how to keep, a house looking fair, drink is my sole conceit, fire brings out the tug, lovely faces dance on stairs, lamp lights shine with love, my smile sits everywhere.

Waverley

Don't forget you're better, red lipstick on your lips, even if sticking together, you don’t live here to lose, blow on your fingertips, there's even more good news, love is not forever, even when you laugh and skip, time is all and never, kick off Monday’s shoes, roll in front of the mirror, always face the truth, nothing beats a conquest, give frustration the slip, an artist’s hope at best, who needs a little blue, you can paint like this, ideas dance in the studio, would you be lesser, if you stood there stripped, binned all his letters, wise in what you miss?

Viola

Don't bother to enquire, why we've been chosen, so much more to deny, laugh at all the crazes, they impose upon us, invoke stupid phrases, ask our favourite line, act as If well spoken, the world catches fire, wonder if we’re lazy, in work shirt and coat, sweet days of praying, they roll the usual lies, verify love's soaking, like clouds in the sky, work in furious phases, bow in cold endurance, ignore their disgraces, a flower lifts our smile, just some little token, makes life worthwhile, stand here unbroken.

Ully

If trouble's in your blood, in this place of whispers, who says it does no good, rivers you can name, don't need a chorus, they flow just the same, people say you should, be prepared for this, ignore them or go nuts, they'll find another way, to do what they insist, their knowledge very grave, maybe you need a hug, sail away without a ship, kiss rain in the dust, act like you're here again, speak for all of us, crush the middle distance, the Oceans know our name, say farewell to diagnosis, the worry in such limits, rise up little Sisters. .

Tina

We claim and duly swear, first to hit the spot, is one whose truth hurts, no drama or big cars, boring debts mounting cost, we’ll always dream afar, under a sun’s bright stare, the sidewalk lit with dots, no one thinks we care, anyone can make a mark, others fold the cards, who possesses easy charts, perfumed tables lay bare, we return from the lot, always have to share, danger hangs on a star, brighter than on any cop, burning up the tar, we'll always shed a tear, on streets sweaty and hot, we’ll defend our turf, it’s all we’ve got.

Shelby

Sober enough to ask why, the way that’s been chosen, before anything you deny, more a sombre space, your mouth frozen, tired of these phrases, sing your favourite lines, time's gone by with roses, it's better when you try, wave at all great stations, beyond life's hopeless, who gets shrunk or wasted, even when the sun shines, witness love's cloaking, more open than the sky, what settles on your face, goes beyond the broken, blows away such traces, a paper at your side, writer's little notebook, simply a wish to verify, what truth is spoken

Rowen

It sometimes works a treat, sitting around a pool, drinking Vodka Martini, what your head can't undo, the bones won't fool, a wish to be someone new, yellow sands redeem, everything resides in you, scrubbed bright by the sea, you can shake into good, when you get the news, no matter what the juice, hard to feel discreet, face the groaning crew, lovers lay at your feet, if your flame turns blue, spirits haunt every venue, let no one disguise truth, all that’s left of equity, cannot turn into booze, with your sudden energy, find that magic clue. .

Queenie

Would you even care, breaking season's pattern, know whats beyond repair, have you read the news, with your open wallet, who's in love with you, your talk around me flares, squeezes like I'm flattered, despite the way things turn, carry on that eager you, dreaming of white satin, never the value of truth, stones won't buy this girl, ships can sail forgotten, you’ve a lot to learn, it’s warm on this avenue, God is not for mocking, not one of your crew, blue evening Autumn swirls, you don’t see me rocking, isn't me you've turned, lost in falling blossom.

Patricia

Do you remember the sea, the swell and the spray, our dance of Thebes, now the kids have flown, migrated far away, have their own homes, we dance on the beach, at the end of Sunday, our loving within reach, each ring of cloud gloom, is suddenly drained, to horizon's quite blue, you grab my left knee, smile at the way, my troubles cease, I'm windblown happy, I hold your face, love this old café, catch moments like these, listen to what I say, eat chips in the breeze, watch my eyes dilate

Ollie

You say that you rule, working on the bread line, to regard all the fools, think you're so great, before other's demise, stop if it's too late, making you cruel, what’s going on inside, the face of miss Cool, look at me again, your eyes like fireflies, what will come your way, it's a poor gruel, that overlooks these lies, maybe all you can do, lost in this frame, strike within time, someone pulls your reins, burnt out mules, may offer you insight, but a greater wisdom, is being kind.

Nora

The love you sow, never goes to waste, everywhere is its echo, you have no need, to circle each day, or save enough to flee, in garments sewn, by a drunken reprobate, kindness is your song, wooden tidal pieces, keep you engaged, why search to be free, you’ve already flown, away from this game, you sing as you go, a house by the sea, dunes in winter flame, this makes you happy, brilliant aristophones, whisper of your fame, you are the full show, star of your passage.

Macey

Dream tunes won't hurt, enough to crack, our happy little world, silken tents we've thrown, will never collapse, held tight by guy ropes, plates you sometimes hurl, is nothing but a laugh, sweet talk makes you curl, is this life our own, in many ways it's crass, consider parts half gone, I’m not really perturbed, whatever time has passed, flags left unfurled, belief is constant hope, will you hold me fast, better than the slope, old singers sing or burn, set me on the path, turn the flame down, let's make it last.

Lauren

Face polished as stone, asks what's it’s to be, tells me all you know, chipped away at by time, the daily useless commentary, who can answer that, neck splashed with Cologne, clouds hang meticously, zoomed out like photos, On Sundays we drink wine, until time freezes, she is not unkind, tunes suddenly echo, and dance beside the sea, it's easy to lose focus, out house on the line, trails bottom of a loan, you can smell the limes, as we taste the ozone, we are beyond carefree, listen to the phermones, who needs TV?

Katie

The part of you we love, used to play it short, dance of life around you, in this Autumn light, you’re gone without a call, clothed in lilac light, nothing gives us a clue, no print or written law, if your trail’s well used, do we know your plight, try to stop you go, with your cards so slight, we’d never be so rude, to bleat at others' woes, hard to take those rules, what we know of you, is easy to postpone, stuff that’s hard to do, laugh at all your jokes.

Jessica

Don't say life’s unfair, many a seed is sown, holding noses in the air, if you bring the sea, to face the bright unknown, find what’s meant to be, in someone’s loving care, drink every drop and know, all you need to share, when this can't be beat, check you were ever born, feel inside that great need, fools will always dare, to make your eyes worn, dance them lightly on chairs, throw away your car keys, enquire with gentle scorn, what's in their deeds, make your daily prayer, keep us warm as toast, don’t be scared, love is never lost.

Gabby

All of you make jokes, don't disturb my waves, worry if I’ll cope, never stoop to choose, or firmly swim away, know how much you’ll lose, you are not dopes, to encourage lazy ways, as if there was no hope, if you want good news, let others stand and gape, what I say is true, because you moan and mope, note every bitter phase, down every twisting slope, can't separate the blues, for distant tides or sail, ships leave without you, things not to be undone, it never is too late, to face life and atone, I would call it grace.

Farah

Forget all the clowns, that come to woo you, half of them worn down, as loud as their woes, ships blow their hooters, they are all so slow, not just at the dance, but down each avenue , they admire your elan, a queen non disposed, bars are full of losers, you’d rather be alone, nothing comes by chance, your choices maybe fewer, but love's a fine repast, barefoot alive on stones, comfort never refused, happy you're their one, find another prance, aboard a Yankee schooner, who needs golden crowns, to make them swoon.

Irene

The year Lady passed away, couldn't get rid of blues, was shrunken day by day, wanted to be alone, not see anyone I knew, on the street or Metro, but you became my angel, I didn't have a clue, flung bad thoughts away, arranged all the loans, brought me chicken soup, put jelly on my bones, before this dying game, didn’t know what to do, life really such a waste, where would I call home, my head a pot of glue, actting like a jello one, you arrived to erase, all my bitter tunes, wings finer than any lace, stronger than perfume.

Harlow

Face down any claim, your stars won’t refuse, no more outrageous fame, you who wonder why, worldly canons of virtue, always bring a sigh, this is no mug’s game, where TV blares fake news, chase me through my days, decipher the constant lie, let them all sing blues, each to their own disguise, hardships on the way, nothing’s here to rue, catch them on the make, only fools rely, beyond the goodly few, look imposters in the eye, always meet their gaze, which lottery they use, afraid of talking plain, just give them truth.

Georgie

A prognosis out the blue, I read the lines, ask what's done with you, act like I already know, take these ties that bind, breathe hard on my bones, time brings a certain glue, what can be put right, search for any clue, we're not here alone, in this rosy light, someone brings us home, It’s warm near the flue, beyond the timber line, let the fire console us, make us keep going, through evening and night, when the kid’s phone, act like you're fine, whiskey gets us through, this is a crazy time, what else can we do?

Freya

If you want to make jokes, don't disturb my waves, worry if I’ll cope, am never slow to choose, or firmly walk away, know how much to lose, you are not a dope, encourage easy ways, as if you had no scope, if you want good news, let others stand and gape, when you sing of love, don't ever mroan and mope, note every bitter phase, look down every slope, separate the numbers, for distant tides or sail, you leave unemcumbered, someone knows the score, it never is too late, to knock on the door, might even be great.

Ellie

Your star is coming home, a wonder of the sky, in shelters you lie prone, whisper of wondrous love, caught in such a vice, eyes shining at the moon, Saints may show their bones, a poem makes you cry, you can’t afford to moan, doves at dawn crash above, a lifetime of men’s sighs, you fly to those who give, fresh linen and Cologne, makes you wonder why, how come you're always broke, not dismayed by little bits, money only there to buy, it's sole reason to assist, don’t wager a stone, dance singing on the wire, visit me by long roads, always with great sight.

Dallas

My smile makes you chance, no fear of being caught, engage in smart chat, who lives with all that, show you ‘round the course, smoke and act daft, what others have found, singing themselves hoarse, is my sense of balance, don't just drink and dance, acting as if on tour, affects my daily prance, in striped fresh clothes, you hold my hand and ask, is there something more, if love’s such a blast, why is it we're taught, to rake up the past, you know about horses, draw a toil of water, how to turn out a score, bring me a Trust draft.

Chrissie

Look at the moon, a full tide today, everything slips too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking to migtate, sing as they go, your eyes can't fool, wouldn't it be great, to find somewhere new, a place for the soul, where paradise reigns, forget mortgage loans, somehow not cruel, but poised and sedate, where no rent is due, problems with ‘phones, emotion just a name, no more guff to swallow our good parts are true, that’s why I say, it's pointless to argue, just up our game.

Bella

When we begin to rave, you dance up and cry, give me lands far away, a lonely path alone, not having a light, a dark place from home, we sit out the fray, anchors hold us tight, ride the tide and wait, try to keep the strong, better than to cry, soon we’ll soon be gone, not just on holiday, so let us not fight, find reasons and fly, our horizon honed, lead us from this night, safe within our bones, there'll be no stain, the moon's our right, bound to bring good days, alive to the fire.

Ally

I'm not a fool at dawn, to feel an utter mess, every day exhausted, I should be at sea, on a wooden raft, time there to dream, summon ancient forms, erect my little mast, still even perfect storms, speak so clear and evenly, not roar out in distress, in my work you pay dearly, if you’re torn, living a life like this, my thing isn't yet done, I shall range the Ocean, set my shiny compass, sail a life that's calm, roll each crown of thorns, live without duress, heaven is a perfect love, I feel immaculate.

zoey

Do you measure distance, looking at a bottle of beer, as if it were crystal, the trenor of your bones, a river washes clear, give us time to expose, Cormorants skim flippant, fish in a boiling weir, last tides before winter, has our love been frozen, somewhere close to tears, I just say don't go, who will face such penance, a trapeze of wasted years, ask for want of infants, how to record each tone, in her faded artists gear, a gift for calendar tomes, If I consider limits, silver still cups my ears, let's be effervescent, enjoy these happy years.

Yola

There's times I wish, I’d never been born, lookout on a bridge, my taxi's gone, now leave me alone, blowing on my bones, what makes me think, know what I’m doing, getting stupid in drink, splashing Cologne, Autumn coming on, standing above the toll, then the clouds shrink, my ship's coming home, wives start to twitch, they see me walk, an unsteady sojourn, to meet sailor souls, majestic and garish, resplendent in the sun. I'm like a carriage, wheels come undone.

Xanthi

Why beseech the sailorsw, set fire their wooden frames, beg our excuses later, cotton, gold and spices, up the games we play, splice the knots of gripers, sunlight sings with covers, happy beneath its gaze, smile our drunken slumbers, to settle here or fly, decisions we have to take, searching nests of lies, leave this port for others, inscribe places in our name, no time for useless bother, is this the reason why, we're so sad on waves, our troubles rage at night, we can;t ever smother, the reasons why we came in search of careworn lovers, let'go home again.

Wanda

When love is solely, three missed trains, our faces solace lonely, then again it flares, a lava filled terrain, sipping eager at the bar, those lines going nowhere, such times we threw away, nights of ached for care, use a game of solitaire to face our changes, hold tight at funfairs, or on the cafe' square, cogbac in the gentle rain, cgarettes paint the air my Ma used to scold me, why rush thru each day, statements of our litany, turn up the flame.

Ginny

Old men who need women, eat calf’s liver and greens, something clings to them, the pity of night groans, a cool breeze seizes, the dread of being alone, worried they appear timid, that skin clings to bones, their desires know no limit, want to see ladies glow, brought to special evenings, we are their reality show, cognac turns breath bitter, even to hear them dcream, brings only idle tissue, beneath all their boasts, they know what Goya's seen, richer softer pillows, wine bread falling leaves.

Ulla

Many a Baritone singer, makes no sense to me, starts my head ringing, your face pales the tide, poems dance by the sea, no need to ask why, can we ever make history, each morning released, what has passed by night, to laughter and Cafe's, beneath brown lights, tell stories as they ride, like sunshine at the beach, brings a taste of ease, bold circumstances believe, who makes us decide, demand of our own dreams, ask where love resides, like angels released ?

Tansy

Why live in a haze, fight battles with the wind, stuck down like cellophane, best not to moan, smoke your cigarettes thin, life is only a loan, now your back in the game, don't rsake over sand, know it's not the same, in your new clothes, dress up to the pins, you're not on your bones, make a step change, blow ten grand, find love instead of trade, if someone moans, says you have sinned, get out of that zone, liberated in your days, let your dreams expand, forget life in jail, be a legend.

Scarlett

Do we think of others, while screaming down the phone, the cross we bear of mothers, prayers for all those, who focus full blown, on summer's blue clothes, drumbeats hot streets smother, the daance we dance alone, men flit like flies uncovered, we can only suppose, what they want to bestow, is to wonder if we'll cope, why they try to bother, we will never know, our days filled with doubles, is it their wish to impose, Prada Versace Georgio, when we're out alone, playing dumb for trouble, our hand's a genuine force, rivers runs right through us, we enjoy the course.

Rosalie

We dream of justice, deflected tossed away, forget our insousciance, do we think of Solomon, never sought that reign, what were we thinking of, do we allow as citizens, fractious old remains, that enslave to prisons, calendars note only one, to lights a single page, how we fumble along, uncertain of questions, ask for the trial date, who of us bear witness, cigarettes smoked gone, try to have our say, frittered on our sons, the only saving grace.

Quiana

Doubt hollows out my night, makes me clasp ancient flame, waits for lamps to shine, when am most shot through, you’ll hear me straight, judge not on what to do, life comes beyond design, moments given over to pray, go buy some cheap wine, there are no avenues, I won’t look down again, we all pay our dues, laugh in gentler climes, no one else to blame, part of me is dying, don't need pointy shoes, arrange at Chess to play, guide me away from you, beyond a hold held tight, can't apply a tourniquet, squeeze out all my fright, take me home again.

Penelope

Don’t look at me and pause, give one of your sighs, seen those looks before, it's how I live now, not your interesting life, God you’re no pillow, all of those good causes, I was barely alive, so many conditional clauses, and all the time how, when you lived so right, you expected me to follow, it's how a story falls, about the way you cried, when I needed comfort, cold water brings no wows, warm easy cosy nights, you always carried a plough, never sailed on the tide.

Ophelia

You stroll off the meter, but you Won't see me, begging by the theatre, blow on polished fingers, at the Salon du Te,' hear policemen whisper, discuss fine places to be, sip Darjeeling, don't need to miss a beat, a guest of distinction, such a pleasure to meet, inform you who's singing, for all of those parties, you give by by the sea, brings them good company, do waves rise in rhythm, to remember our street, where in rags and rayon, you struggled to eat. .

Nora

You'd gamble any right, your daughter says, including unforgiven nights, drained you like a drain, the times you swayed, in falling snow or rain, within slate blue eyes, you could never contain, the reasons why, letting go is the same, were you born that way, smoking by a naked flame, her grin is like a prize, a chuckle on Saint’s day, like she's run a mile, unhook the gas cage, make tea on the range, bring whiskey out today, there's ghosts to lay.

Molly

Standing out of reach, he says don't leave me, am crying for the sea, can anyone entertain, such unforgiving need, like someone derailed, I say just take it easy, what do you want to see, staring at our destiny, dunes shift on the beach, in his eyes you can feel, a twisted knife of agony, I hum a stupid refrain, how to enjoy freedom, when promises are made, a life of safe passagee, rises up before me, pretend it don’t matter, what might have been.

Lia

Am pretty sure of what to do, around your knees, a tattered sheepskin warms you, birds cling to the ferry, passion no longer creases me, we hardly go on holiday, your lover and your son, say I'm not easy, well, what's done is done, interesting but uncaring, you'd never fight for me, water brings other yearnings, which is sad but true, when orange lights the sea, I’m not thinking of you, this night of coming liberty, I'll drink Merlot and breathe, lend you to your family, set my spirits free.

Kaylee

You laugh on the avenue, but it’s not the heat, deserts delight you, you’d say that fools, always miss the beat, when looking at ruins, you grow in certitude, like an oasis green, before the sun and wind, you'll sail again soon, like the falling leaves, when autumn is due, poverty yellow and blue, destroys wilder dreams, brings no solace to you, inside you hum a tune, turn your head serene, will capture other routes, spirit rise from deep .

Jane

light swingS towards me, along the evening beach, . sardine boats bob at sea, at the raging hotel bar, I hear rain and keen, drum on the duck boards, we drink unhappily, you bring a pot of tea, absurd false pleasantry, don't try to condone, another hateful breach, to note we are alone, I want to somehow feel, but this opacty, splits like lightning, cuts me to the bone, tightens new dungarees, no one's coming home, only stairs to creep.

Indie

All these other issues, deny her earthly needs, makes me reach for tissues, they hang like skeletons, with lip sticky greed, as if she's in a peloton, standing by the fixtures, you say just let it be, love’s to teach my sister, not particularly elegant, her frugal solidarity, breaks any monetary sustance, a manifest delicious, she serves its plain creed, the men kept at distance, salty tears seem relevant , her eyes gaze out to sea, a sole ring of psychophants, lie scattered at her feet.

Helena

Can your love ring, eyes dance like fireflies, in the way you sing, look around our home, explore all you like, why dust settles alone, say thats a good thing, it's never a sure sign, to say how you think, Sundays on the roam last of summer's wine, remember all the gone, love more than anything, skips in the tide, doesn't ask for blessing, resting on our bones, a thousand buttered nights, make the waves roll, our plans side by side.

Ginny

The security of hope, stretches different ways, think I’ll always cope, will go home soon, in a sun that flays, pockmarked yellow stones, down the Boston slopes, I can see kids play, jumping harbour ropes, the cool evening dew, is when my debts are paid, nothing surprised or smooth, do my folks know, think I'm down on holiday, indifferent stars unfold, night clouds race the moon, hear my songs of praise, ride out like a schooner, take me faraway. .

Fara

What's wrong with dreaming, let horizons increase, our love of the sea, like luck or a number, it brightens our features, when other stuff stumbles, time for us to seize, we don't need a reason, set our green evenings, note in our slumbers, a desire to believe, get rid of the bummers, life is a tease, so lets get ourselves free, rest at our ease, Oceans are not encumbered, why should we be, look at them and wonder, what about me ?

Emily

Who will tend our bones, listening to the rain, does a river run alone, let songs and poems ring, through suburban stations, we don't owe a thing, herring gulls that soar, see them all again, when we climb aboard, their cry a broken thing, as the seasons change, train lines track the sea, swore we’d never blow, just to change our ways, but always time you know, to struggle with everything, we'll always find a way, drain all our softenings, keep us on the rails.

Daniela

What keeps you moving, a crescent moon at Easter, aan oar that fits a groove, an arc of scurried waves, does it set you free, now they know your trade, A flight to distant water, forget troubled seasons, no matter how much laughter, you hear the morning play, firmly north on Ferry's, but consider what you say, every act of loving, guarantees no sweetness, sometimes it's very rough, please don't run away, you'll die without coffee, praise each dancing day, be what you want to be. .

Cady

You shouldn’t kiss, this cabal of spirits, Oceans dance on your lips, not like those at home, whose bones like to sit, scared to be alone, you’ll engage or quit, taken to your limits, when that fever hits, bolstered by unending hope, even love gets it, happiness in climbing up, tides turn at the instant, venture on a cargo ship, laugh at middle distance, never one to misanthrope, watch the water glimmer, soon you'll find a note, moon always distant.

Bella

She knows she's been around, an unbroken sky, leaves many a naked mound, a rose clustered tree, while others cry, she makes her great leap, a kid from our town, she promises to fly, break ambition all bounds, although born and weaned, and raised by signs, she misses yellow fields, even with her crown, city lights bring her back, to lowing cattle sound, knows her homely dream, still asks for reasons why, kisa and fireside scenes, make her want to die.

Abbie

What if the stars are great, my lover slowly fades, lately gone from this terrain, doesn't like my happy tone, the walls are limpid grey, my head is full od stones, look at my hands shake, it’s difficult to keep going, when a voice gives way, the kids have grasped the bone, confined within their days, furious now he’s gone, the moon is light as cake, the seasons roll away, I’ll see them happy again, they ride the roller coaster, say he's now a flake, I laugh and know I'll cope, but each night pray.

Zizi

Sometimes you can’t explain, the hurt you feel inside , the way his face fails, my lover, proud, unbowed, no longer hails the sky, but dances in the clouds, nothing gets in the way, but the retreating light, or how his eyes play, a man of rage unbowed, who beat out his time, but hated crowds, once he jumped the rail, found places safe to lie, many a time the jail, when he went down, behind a confessional sigh, his face blue as dawn, did I once ask why ?

Yolanda

Who do you want to suffer more, me or your blessed lover, outside the Cafe' Du Course, it’s a perfect sunny evening, kids looked after by mother, love is within my keeping, all your little more’s, in life between the covers, show me the open door, if you think by bleating, you're wiser than others, let's forget your cheating, Campari is an unwritten law, September smothers, the life you had before, moonlight finds us sinking, to last bells of summer, friends around us seeking, when to close the shutters.

Ximena

Days of late summer fire, nights are black and warm, stars come out like ice, the love of dreaming, especially when not torn always tugs at me, no matter what desire, winds hold a gentle force, they carry all our sighs, love is not for scheming, we lay our smart clothes, to dance across the sea, cannot trace the tides, tell us wehere we're from, no matter who conspires, in the yellow evenings, your eyes like a storm, a name for very breathing, written as a charm.

Whitney

Don't make a fuss, they carry yellow lists, do not try to love, hearts ruled by stone, where do you fit, a place they call home, if you need a crust, be prepared for this, believe me you're dust, go to shed the load, drag on get a grip, knowledge never eats alone, hide the semell of musk, refuse the middle distance, alter all they insist, quietly leave this road, leave them here in bits, bullies never hear groans, in a house of misfits.

Vida

The wind blows silent, across our fences, uncaring who it caresses, starts in darkened cellars, casts it own spell, scent of the mad jealous, does it salute us, a candle to a friend, what brings us the fire, across our barren lands, nothing is more relative, to know where we stand, will the world recognise, our fight to the end, face down men's surprises, we carry magic letters, pretend fear has no smell, tell everyone remind us, we're better than them.

Ully

Smoking a cigarette , a lover's old face appears, fulsome not lonely yet, geese rise and hail, autunm skies without fear, unlike seasons we failed, a cold water flatlet, he always cheered, to make it the very best, the colours of his sail, no-one could get near, he really had me nailed, a man who wouldn’t let, flame fold into fear, who shared jokes and bets, but worried by the claims, brought him back here, he thought he couldn’t fail, I had to be crystal clear..

Theresa

She hears a strange whisper, the sound of a removal van, thinks of all her sisters, each move smoother now, no one faults her tan, in every room she’s known, wears a plastic hair clip, bars are full of men, happy off their last trip, they rise like supernova, walks the streets with them, among sea green clover, barefoot prays for hips, her dancing days are done, will miss the Tango dips, rather than having fun, to find this new drum, wonders if she’s driven, if he'll ever come ?

Sophie

The track is midnight blue, her smile doesn’t show, what has been refused, strangled by swaying men, she'll flash a lovely No, a dancing smile at best, she doesn't need to choose, to take their tales and show, the scarred lands of truth, that look is the test, she's young and free to bestow, what others try at best, the train and its crew, travel like the crow, outside there is a moon, warm themselves at rest, frost rims the windows, she knows failure or success, love won’t make her yellow.

Rachel

Do you want me like this, am I just your shout, who doesn’t need to exist, powdered lightly you emerge, shadows dance on your mouth, the fragrance of cold purges, some play at being missed, those who like the South, all day you fuss and twist, why flaunt a constant dirge, be waylaid by touts, I have gone beyond hurt, and you my sister, a coquette with every pout, who refuse me any kiss, a singer of great splurges, lovers bite their fists, waters part and merge, am I to be dismissed ? .

Queen

Absolved of troubles, we've wrapped in time, he passes me a double, uncertainty arrested, glad we’re still alive, my whiskey flows West, delivery testimony cuddled, love glows on the line, hangs on flowery pillows, believe me a life selected, is the stuff of wine, many evenings requested, poets speak of rivers, lime trees, water, moonrise, life unfolds in pictures, nothing but a treasure chest, the sea looks to revive, always at our best, when the sun declines.

Phoebe

She sees the creep of moon, yellow as the easy night, rise again too soon, gleaming black cars swwep, around kids who drink wine, summer goes without sleep, men who love to cruise, seek meaning of their life, like their women fools, she smiles but doesn’t need, lemon blonde August subshine, she's never in too deep, on her white railed schooner, she embraces the sky, hoisting her own festoons, she laughs as waves leap, nothing makes her frightened, guides the rippled sheets, and everything brightens.

Olivia

Who wants to be free, asks my new found lover, I lift my hand easy, nothing between me and home, breezes kind on the peninsula, it’s not right to be alone, her bright smiling homily, is not given to anyone, toenails painted strawberry, she'll re -arrange my loans, a really fun one, big colours of her clothes, red wine and the sea, I ask if anyone's told her, about the scope of emnity, God knows where she's from, it's a short step to clarity, better say what’s going on, I don't do security.

Nancy

The sum of brighter days, secures a great freedom, my dance away from jail, the café’s and the streets, bring a sense of ease, even solace to my sleep, not a real holiday, but a place in between, where I love to stay, all my debts released, beneath cool plane trees, music floats over me, I adore this quiet place, even in the summer season, luck has had its say, no matter the law decrees, the chaos of my journey, brings me to the sea, all its cool tranquility.

Maria

Could you love me, would you dare, the way wheels turn, look at me I seethe, is it my long hair, that makes you dream, drunk on glossy magazines, would you care, the nights we went easy, with someone's being, and no one else there, even at fifty three, blowing like steam, your eyes flared, are you ready to believe, I am no has beens, to make you scared, with my new teeth, my nose in the air.

Landy

You whisper love, on throwaway 'phones, your ravaged face a moon, you wear a hooded coat, saints reveal their bomes, they massages your soul, your hands in kid gloves, a life learning to moan, you fly to those who give, frisky as a spring foal, silent as a snowy owl, survey the market zones, eager to earn a crust, is why you'll follow, fresh linen and Cologne, when men need a shawl, apply the sacred oaths, won't let them pray alone, far beyond the purple dust, your star is coming home, they know how much lost, how much sown.

Kayla

What you would never do, stuff you swore, ride in fields of blue, dance again to the sun, rage against broken laws, pretend you're the one, my partner droops, why do you say this for, fools ding out of tune, she makes me want to run, take holy orders, drown my days in rum, rage at every heirloom, act a rouged whore, leave her here to stew, certain things I shun, binding ties for sure, eyes wide for one, love makes me roar.

Jessie

When did I start crying, was going back to Ireland, when my son asked why, Nana loved the horses, you who poured sand, on that altered discourse, like the ferry glides, over how my life crammed, to anchor in his smiles, he says Nana is forlorn, a martyr to her son, did she ever dawn, you were the one who lied, tales somehow run aground, the way he died, all through these storms, i am masking wounds, troubled notwithstanfing, he wasn't done.

Isla

Give me those fake jewels, let me laugh through tears, I will dance with fools, take cold white stars, my tresses bring them near, say we'll go to Mars, his face turns churlish hue, thinks he's in the clear, how he takes my news, I file smile and depart, leave him ached for years, in my reverie no charts, he can whisper and sue, won't want a soul to hear, I shrug at being cool, love is a poisoned dart, my perfume costs me dear, his a punctured heart, all men with power fear.

Hattie

She paints religious scenes, dabs around a glaze, echoes a thirty-year dream, regards a piece she’s honed, feels joy in this frame, it’s never set in stone, yellow shafts of sunbeams, cold studio's just the same, images she puts in scenes, the canvas could be foam, a stretch on wooden nails, nights before she goes home, a matchstick in the sea, bobbing without a flame, floating for eternity, her clothes hand me down, waits for end of day, drinks in this ocean town, her head nods in relief, dancing eyes can play, artists are never easy, all fail the ame.

Gia

Living here's no paradise, it’s always in the news, people aren’t very nice, might as well be jail, pavement’s stick like glue, love’s a broken name, all I want's a better life, show what I can do, instead of needing respite, my songs are well regaled, all the arias too, pity I can't escape, this cesspit full of lies, little images made of you, don't ask me why, what has been created, boils like mutton stew, know I’m not an easy play, being home's no searchlight, when it beams on truth, in the lilac evening light, there's no pretty hue.

Frannie

She says a dawn novena, worries about her feet, wonders who will see her, love is a trap door, knows what secrets to keep, hangs around the floor, every tune's a trigger, s golden shuffle conceit, hard times for soul singers, hope rises at the shore, but when night turn green she tends to pray alone, is God having a snigger, to ignore her depth of need, no test is ever bigger, perhaps a communion order, even a slow retreat, tells her the score, lets her dream.

Emma

Will he drop me now, make me drink more drink, sit up and say wow, if i should stand here, tell what he's thinking, maqybe something's there, his eyes a surly brown, they twitch at my blink, never on their own, the best of him appears, to drain sun’s sinking, should I disappear, like a bilbous bow, groans through the clinker, he freezes my horizon, don't need eyes of deer, let alone a shrink, to see what’s clear, love's always a trick.

Daisy

I walk without fear, down these broken roads, mother's words hush dear, wondering what I know, whose hand do i hold, which house is my home, that photograph there, it looks so alone, find a place for it here, hand to my heart now, seems made of stone, even my head feels closed, I had no idea, in shirt and belt low, why no one comes near, it's really no joke, more than being jealous, want to nurture my soul, without bying trouble.

Ciara

How does my hardness look, white face'd curled lips, sheets we carefully unhook, time hung out to dry, bars red wine to sip, geese flap in the sky, startled by a river's look, hear the sound of ships, Nana used salt to shook, cigarette papers we roll sly, cosy pictures in the skip, dappled maritime lines, our Ma's whose lives we took, making bath house trips, while I sat there cooked, are you happy on happy signs, do we continue to live in sin, fresh linen makes me cry, eyes open adrift.

Britney

My time goes by unspoken, afraid of family especially Da, our barns closed and broken, it doesn't take much memory, bent as a bell jar, to mark a sense of pity, depends which hand you hold, inside a smoky station bar, Poker leaves me cold, you run like a refugee, chase some foreign star, start with what's done to me, the days scatter and unfold, no one seems to care, or hear my silent roar, a crime is seen as comedy, they say buy a new car, let go and rest easy, love never travels far.

Alice

Ask can you love me, like a runaway horse, the way it whinnies, go back to sea I whisper, heard this tale before, you think I'm bothered, I won't wear weeds, without sorrow or remorse, if you’ll return to me, in this game of trespass, I am not your whore, journeyd on a golden vesell, nows my time to speak, bellow across marble floors, only the guilty plead, who is for the cloister, you must know the score, I'm not that blister, you pierce anymore.

Zoey

If its not too late, I’ll see it through, each evening by your gate, down fallen roads, my mother states be true, but she doesn't know, how your love makes waves, within our secret venue, smells of purple grapes, I’m lucky to condone, a place to secrete virtue, don't feel cast alone, in these lands of hate, you make me swoon, trust me to say, I melt beneath your bones, the garden's lemon blue, anything to postpone, this time of trouble.

Yola

Before you turned to me, carried me on your flight, I knew what was to be, who asked for that load, love you thought was right, I said bring it on , ships famed for their speed, dispense with sails at night, you were my every need, a sunlit garden at home, deceived beyond my sight, you left me dancing alone, those days swept aside, whole families heard me cry, seeing such a fool denied, removed from my cosy throne, shorn of all my rights, I stray strongly abroad, the siren in my smile.

Xareni

Please don’t let them see, why you have to be, so fawningly sweet, your brown subdued tone, simple soul and shady tree, hides this crowded boat, no song of the sea, only chants of make believe, blinds our eyes to destiny, who hasn't sorted bones, this swarm of human seed, given only what we know, a terrible wound of territory, borders and sunlit scrutiny, breaks what's not retrieved, these ships bear our home, hands bear sullen greetings, who will make it known, how we sail to history ?

Willa

When you talk coastlines, dance released in the rain, who pays the fine, smile in the mirror, wait for a dismal train, stand beside you and shiver, you waste my time, nearing home you say, all words to me are lies, proud of your honour, an ubbridgable terrain, you dismiss me the sinner, but are you a child, who suffers more than pain, is belief your terrible why, you ask who delivers, Buster you're the highway, I am the giver, don't trouble me again.

Vicky

long days no blessing, for drinkers and vagrants, all others gone missing, sunlight on the waves, she rushes to this oasis, ignoring tourist games, an island is her mission, where cruise ships lay, she calls it deliverance, hears the cies and hails, beach people like wraiths, dance around goldh caves, besieged by other issues, kids are not to blame, she doesn't do kissing, makes an unlit foray, to convent's sweet gaze, it's a gentle escape, to touch ancient flame.

Ully

Do we ditch or burn, a love like gas, the dial turned down, crack enough jokes, so Ma won't collapse, somehow she's bespoke you won’t need an urn, to see my ashes pas, a lesson I've learned, bars and broken homes, my words get crass, they never travel alone, may you keep the flame, now then hold me fast, show me life's gamed, if you’re on your own, celebrate my best, care for my bones, remember me and laugh.

Taya

Isn't it good to know, by travel gourds or wine, when our brim fills up, you may wonder, what you dream to shine, when what's fleeting gone, do we resist such moaning, figuring out the line, dancing on the combing, if you stand by water, sun shining on my life, it never reaches October, in that luminous flow, your lips are my guide, how beautiful the load, passion always binfs us, long as birds are flown, brighter in the darkness, love always found.

Siobhan

A crescent moon at Winter, I know what is to love, but always be a sinner, surrounded by icy streets, I turn my face towards, the freezing gentle sea, if the cold light kills us, my time is one of trouble, dance to different drummers, are they out of reach, a friend holds a dove, no matter what I preach, across the dun lit hills, my shadow's like a moth, I ascend the rills, a Catholic flame and keeper, my Ma pines for summer, but cannot get the reason, why I act so tough.

Rae

at starboard he hails me, I am his lady, all there is to be, hunted slant of the mast, shadows dance on crates, crescent moon at Christmas, surrounded by auxiliaries the radar blinks and wails, lights blinks eratically, wires ripples on their cast, he's oh so wild and brave, wven when danger's passed, we're racing on the sea, slamming through waves wind hides my folded dreams, please hold her fast, what is there to save, she's warm and snug at last, I'm aching for a baby

Quarry

Who brings the lie, to a thirteen year old, one difficult to deny, smoking old cigarettes, chasing paper folds, they just don't get it, how we carry the die, the fear left untold; all the reasons why. a cloudy evening sets, we are making bold, release us this debt , shout up to the sky, blow away our role, no longer terrified, anxious piroettes. waiting for the scold. never tell me yet, love is all.

Paige

More than any laughter, love seeps around her knees, It isn't broken water, inflated or in despair can cry when she pleases, life's never really fair, what is not a slaughter, compared to other release, lets the blues sail upriver, she stands without care, relishes a sense of peace, catch the green evening, she's become her mother, whatever that means, hope is left within her, she’ll never declare, any joy without cease, but do what's upto her, just enjoy this scene.

Oaklee

Who will tend our bones, how beautiful is rain, it will wash the stones, my arms around him twine straining his body away. limpid now the sunlight, pink Lupins nod and fold, their noses to the day, birds never sing alone, songs are a keening rhyme, a skylark leads the way, horses hold the fenceline, July resists our clothes, sweat runs down his face, a tractor hugs the road, our baby now is fine, it rocks along the way, the boy is nearly nine, am happy for this roam, brings us back to stay, everything we call home, sparkles like the hay.

Nora

How do I make this scene, looking sweet on sherry. a sourball to protect me, off my face alone, flushed with Dutch frippery, wish i was going home, mascara pushed up my sleeve, eyes looking furtively, looking for some release, , red and yellow phone's, sing out a cigarette night, Oh God leave me alone, my greatest days to flee, suddenly bear a why, hope no one fancies me, sit side by side consoled, he's a boy off the tide, asks why i chose this role, at my next epiphany, I won't't bother with sighs, leave a note to territory, just wave him goodbye.

Marie

Sat in the grey light, my lover alongside me, know everything's all right, sunrise over the Rhone, Cafe Coin serves good coffee, a vista when we come, warm clothes as sun fires, trhe light above the trees, we enjoin the coming sky, salt cakes a global warning, birds fly on earthly need, rabbitts dance in the combing, we sip the last of wine, remains of an evening party, no need for Turkish delight, we'll return home, go back by boat and sea, the weather won’t be cold, warm brown days pass by, work and save diligently, all that's best in life, worth more than money.

Lara

We look at what remains, carried to us by ferry, a life she disdained, can she hear our groans, full of useless levies, it would turn her bones, thank those blessed days, neither warm nor easy, when a life burned flame, the manner of her tone, flowed on other tributaries, it won't leave us alone, more a silken trail, spun on a wooden rosary, from her morning frame, a promise to condone, every generous actuary money given not a loan, as we catch the train, across the morning estuary, she’d never contemplate, our face of misery.

Kathy

It’s hard to measure distance, looking down a bottle of beer, what you think is crystal, the tremble in your bones, a river washes clear, a time to be explored, will he be coming home, talks we had last winter, hawks hunt on the weir, don't make me bitter, fast tides on the roll, are you my lover freer somewhere close but alone, when I say it’s finished, heart and eyes in tears, please don't ask penance, in your faded clothes. silver cups my ears, a memory in each zone, your eyes like an infant a trapeze of wasted years,, I record such fastness, all for listing fear

Joanna

There's times I wish, I’ve waited so long, on this wretched bridge, my taxi’s long gone, now leave me alone, I’m not twenty one, what makes you think, don’t know what I’m doing, getting jealous in drink, splash on more Cologne, who wants to smell cold, strung on these folds, let the moon blink, my ship's coming home, sick and tired of shrinks, smear red lipstick on, an unsteady sojourn, really no one's fault, remain majestic and fit, sweet as my best song, ice cream for this trip, nice and strong.

Ivy

Do we think of others, screaming down the phone, a cross borne for mothers, pray for all of those, whose thoughts lay blown, across forgotten summers, ' a cornfield smothers, the dance we do alone, men flit amongst us, we can only suppose, by water and blue clothes, what they want to echo, our days fill with lovers, buckets we take home, throwing dice at trouble, our hands a level force, more than we ever know, a river runs its course, in the valley below.

Hope

The poetes mauvais, he hates to gloom, are they made of clay, these are their bones, in place of his blood, each time he's alone, has gone back to slay, an old unwritten rule, promised him every day, evening fades the Domes, traces this lonely fruit, he faces night alone, aching for a child I say, what we have to do, ie seize time anyway, birdsong early morning, it's a poor fool, to ignore their warning, maybe I have to state, they hold onto you, get them out the way, give life our due.

Gigi

Who removes the cast, only children think of home, across thhis singing pass, in the Café’ du Surpris, they can hear my woes, ask for my spirit's release, Puccini ons the terrace, Campari , dark glasses, soda, my visits here don't last, Why deny this present need, shield me from the Ghosts, come here only for release, like my Goddess Callas, I sing before I moan, Sourballs ease my pallett, sea birds screech and wheel, cliff nests honeycombe, I look again to sea, this place I come from.

Felicia

Old men who need women, eat calf’s liver and greens, something clings to them, the pity of night groans, a cool breeze seizes, the dread of being alone, worried they appear timid, that skin clings to bones, their desires know no limit, want to make ladies glow, bestow love every evening, bars are their only show, cognac turns breath bitter, even a prosthetic gleam, btings no disco glisten, beneath the idle boasts, know what Goya has seen, richer softer pillows, wine bread falling leaves.

Emma

Don’t look at me and pause, give one of those sighs, heard these tales before, this is my home now, not your interesting life, God you’re slow, while you spout good causes, I'm barely alive, in conditional clauses, please stop your moans, at wife number five, gush like water flows, outside a church door, Is this where you die, you want me to follow, hear this I won’t, despite the way you try, who needs your comfort, on this sun kissed cove, my skin grows alive, such was my life before, praying for a tide.

Daphne

Being an ice cold Diva, makes no sense to me, when she sings Ave Maria, high tragic in cheek bones, her voice an ocean deep, what resource she's shown, her laugh is for dreamers, like sunshine on the beach, yet hard as clam coquima, love she gave to lovers, to seamen and Cafe's, is far away as ever, in stances of believers, she is her own obituary, each morning retrieved, but no one lives alone, shes doesn't fool me, praying for her soul, before a cup of tea.

Charlotte

You stroll off the meter, but you don't see me, dressed for the theatre, apply polish to fingers, at the Salon du Te,', ignore a flic whisper, discuss places to meet, sip Darjeeling, turn high on your heels, guaranteed to linger, your blonde hair conceals, an invisible surrender, all of those parties, you give by the sea, hides desperate catharsis, do waves rise in rhythm, at your command and greet, your once coveted rayon, down our street.

Bree

The weekend sings, when everyone can hear me, on my silent wings, stars pour thru my bones, can everybody see, my songs all of home, the yellow light of Spring, brings my fresh dreams, they sure make me feel, sometimes when I groan, mind shallow as Disney, the beach is stony hollow, but now to better things, I sail upon the sea, hot sun on my jeans, I rein my bitter tones, look forward to be happy, embrace summer flings, am a girl that's funny.

Angel

You laugh like you rule, but it’s not the heat, deserts don’t trust fools, you can’t explain, why oases lose their sheen, that you should bother again, you’d say that these mules, forever miss their beat, looking at hopeless ruins, poverty yellow and grey, doesn't come with sun screen, you're protected anyway, you are like all of us , when brown and seventeen, sweet and bitter as almonds, instead you conjure a train, turn your head serene , look away from our gaze, smell the salt sea.

Yaretzi

Am pretty sure where to go, a sail around your knees, a tattered sheepdog show, birds cling to the cranes, passion doesn't need me, it never comes on holiday, your lover sings her woes, she makes me feel uneasy, I’m not the best you know, try to keep you sane, when orange lights the sea, all your furies contained, count the cost of war, a sense of honest liberty, it's best not to caw, sad but truly said, you'd never fight for me, luck never comes in spades set our spirits free .

Xena

Was it worth that night alone, a lighthouse shading beach, sardines boats on their own, at the quayside mornihg café’, I smell rain and sea, warm against the beams, will you view the foam , I call for more tea, my eyes fill with stone, I'd like to dance and dream, but my opacity, spins me like spinning, i press myself to the bone, above my pressed dungarees, if I saw you coming home, what we should really see, always within gentle reach, inside a starlit breesze is to remain happy?

Ginny

All this constant preach, that decries our deeds, raises a sucker leach, it hangs like a skeleton, with lip sticky greed, letters are forgotten, standing by the beach, you say all will be, love’s far out of reach, not particularly elegant, our guilty solidarity, have to dance delicate, see a pocket that leaks, lies open at your feet, reminds me of your means, what manifest delicious, waltzes to earthly needs, on sandy near distance, salty tears run free.

Ully

Dancers are ill at ease, with spiritual gain, upsets their body release, with boys, girls and women, I feel their curious gaze, am sweating like an oven, Our Lady holds the beam, on cold lit Sundays, hard to shape the dream, my life feels all worn, lost within youthful days, the ballerina's I adore, will let myself seem, so cheery in my praise, their great attempts to be, on trips along the shore , I won't wear grey, is it shame to want more, what love forever stays ?

Tara

Do you still love me, eyes dance like fireflies, no matter what you sing, look at the sea I blink, where waves roll in line, just say what you think, it's all a great conceit, two bottles gone by, lurching to the estuary, this part of the river, gave our thousand nights, are you still a believer, dancing on the beach, exploring all the while, drink is our eternity, say you want to live, and not face the sky, is it near the rocks, where we collide ?

Sadie

Your screams leave a trace, patterns on an island tree, transgress blue pathways, they add to a ship's bow, a pirate roving sea, I'll separate your bones, on the swollen straits, I kick out my heels, furious at my cluttered days, can you feel my scorn, stretch out to your dreams, will you cry to atone, before a mass one Sunday, bread, wine celebratory, torn netting wood and spray, your tawdry little moans, ride the breeze before me, your keelhauling my homily, to a broken reed. .

Rae

What keeps you brave, a crescent moon at summer, nails that fit a gate, an arc of scurried waves, escaping from your lover, do they know your game, your flight to the break, in a season of trouble maps of distant heartache, you take a morning train, avoid late nite clubbers, please don’t push me away, when sprits come awake, it's no guarantee of cover, find a proper place. you sing of hoisting sail, is that more blubber, join with my embrace, maybe stop you running..

Quincey

My safety and hope, stretches lovely ways, how I’ll always cope, maybe will go home soon, in a sun that's flays, anyone's lonesome blues, on City's gentle slopes, feel it bounce and sway, splice the brownstone, when evening's are due, debts get paid, the avenue plays tunes, wonder my parents know, how hard I pray, different tales unfold, kids furl like schooners, everyone needs praise, we are never losers, to celebrate the day.

Paula

I hate the dull why, the pleadings for ease, in sought after light, it's why am stirring, making chocolate madima, my voice slurring, a drink of the wine, play tunes of the season, God knows I'll be fine, might boil the kettle, an afternoon's reason, marks the day's bearing, who cares about time, to spend in this prison, like christening a child, the kids will be sharing, regular as the heating, another lilac evening, their faces chime, beneath a moon’s steeple, no one thinks to deny, Mama's love leanings.

Ollie

Stumbled steps at evening, heart beats like a train, shallow ocean breathing, you could give a whistle, by some stunted door frame, I'd stand there twisted, wish more than anything, this was a different game, to prevent those scenes, the sight of you regretful, leaving from the station, a face torn and fretful, it's fame on cafe ceilings, that baritone serenade, can't you spare my feelings, you journey is by ship, carried on the sea lanes, please remember my lips, in Operas you name.

Nina

Who will tend our bones, listening to the rain, does a river run alone, let our song ring, on slow suburban trains, birds will hear us sing, herring gulls that soar, may we wash the pain, through their eerie moans, crying is a broken wing, forget those winter days, discarded wedding rings, swore we’d never go, just to count our gains, stuff everybody knows, our best is everything, always find new ways, throw off our suffering, Summer's here again .

Molly

Who’s your next date, my lover asks me, I look at empty spaces, am sat here churning, in case you can't see, states of my yearning, thoughts aren't great, at such infidelity, but I dance them away, freedom is not fairness, not for anyone but me, fear a world burning, what I have to explain, to let him know subtly, the sky has changed, think of being honest, I point along the beach, seas are not for turning, 'You' i screech.

Lila

if You don’t’ create, in this house of spirits, others will not hesitate, if you’re at home, your bones in bits, ferocious enemies will gloat, laughter sealed on a plate, how they'll rub it, to put you in a crate, never bow to little jokes, when taken to your limits, losers always provoke, bolstered by a certain grace, even love becomes visible, happiness is not just taste, never one to slope, , warmth is your greatest gift, you'll never be alone, tides turn in the Bay, seas might writhe and twist. Oceans dance to your pace, make the most of it.

Kelsey

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too afraid to speak, enough to raise the flame, risk fears of being torn, the useless dates we make, she waits for the seasons, with her crown of thorns, it's too late for reason, searches about the place, wonders if forlorn, she has to act brave, acts like she's received, orders to be joined, go swimming in the sea, lends a hand that shakes, listens to his call, knows whey she hesitates, asks is this really me, jellied to the core, a flower of tranquility, maybe this is love ?.

Jade

You're never a girl, that curses and blasts, in fact you twirl, face like a stone, when you’re harrassed, count to ten fead slow, don't bother with furs, or men who feel trapped, just rattle your pearls, listen to their stories, sigh at their collapse, life's not their own, your head in a whirl, a silken scarf for class, say a little prayer, cry on the doorpost, drink wine aghast, ask what they want most, the worm always turns, you cook with gas, your flags are unfurled, everything will pass.

Isla

Just a little twist, forget about the wrangle, those who like to give, your search for the spin, dangles like a spider, shaking in the wind, in the way you kiss, makes my eyes tingle, from those bitter lips, so close to the trim, the nearer your jangle, wrestles any business, you have less to give, than even you imagine, sailing on the Isthmus, blue lines die to live, instead of being tangled, hoisted to your jib, why bother to insist, shockes at always single, is nothing to resist, tie me to the shingle.

Harley

You can swear and blow, it's always in your game, you better not come home, have to face the ruin, worry what's your escape, you're fooling no one, are you the rolling stone, or just some broken gate, who never blows a note, choice better come soon, lying drunk on the pave, everything sad about you, too close to the bone, won't survive the blues, last one to be alone, forget about the looks, you'll always need loans, it will end with fools, too cool to roam, nothing else to gain, no knife to your throat, don't come by again.

Gloria

Gone is the time, he looks right through you, his Ma and Da's real crimes, life doesn’t make it easy, walls he can’t go through, finding nothing that eases, even new clothes cashmere fine, won’t stop the blues, each yearly hint of Why, he doesn’t do breezy, hopes to diagnose the truth, hates the way they leaked, the time he spent inside, uses it like a book, to figure out their minds, he shakes the car keys, acts like still their mule, each day is no Odyssey, you’re just next in line, to tell him what to do, ditch that sweet line, see the real fools.

Frankie

Parade all the while, while you’re on bail, raise a homely smile, in your creaky bones, you’re not here to stay, can't wait to be alone, you left me to die, on your holy grail, said don't waste my time, don't think you can atone, your lies always fail, hanging like a scarecrow, flip a coin to the sky, talk of hoisting sail, you'll never ever fly, drink wine from a cone, bin some desolate mail, try to tame your ghosts, what it means to cry, finds you out this way, brains that are wired, worse than any jail.

Ella

A cracked dirty room, offers no insight, to see how you look, this is no model game, a race out of time, who holds the reins, don't act like a fool, over toasted lies, understand the doing, when eyes feel pain, burn bright as fireflies, let others go their way, find stuff that's cool, you’re churning inside, face up to that duel, when they ask to play, show them the dice, blow on them the same, eschew goody good shoes, enjoy moments of fame, no need to be cruel, you'll feel great.

Dorothy

A smile on his face, he says he’ll carry on, can’t turn away, a horizon once bright, he'll navigate the bones, whatever path is right, he could take a plane, where love comes from, it once flew his way, the gesture's not kind, he could cry but won't, how can you make light, why love works this way, he’ll never understand, not here on the runway, within a city's sight, there's hardly a sound, his eyes question why, bets he cannot make, won't take him far, nothing more to gain, just go back home.

Corin

What you can't find, makes you reach again, for the ball of twine, tie him here alone, there's much to gain stay out on your own, if you think of why, standing in the rain, allows you to get by, you'll drench your bones, now dry as an angel, in your new pose, why try to disguise, each hour of the day, he still rolls the dice, don't trust the 'phone, it'll ruin your game, love has no real home, just throw him a line, catch a fast train, dance a different life, get out ofthis place.

Brynlee

We drink for company, God knows if we're right, this place needs sympathy, the front of house door, cracked out of sight, a window broken floor, just leave us in peace, fear grips our night, cooking's not our being, eyes sharp at their core, glinting each day bright, have no truck for more, he says hold girl easy, arms beseech the sky, nothing stands scrutiny, so happy we're sore, in the morning light, everything turns raw, can you smell the sea, a message from on high, he's not as bad as me, we don't do lies.

Alana

A smile on my face, says we’ll carry on, can’t turn away, a horizon once bright, we tread over bones, like a desert at night, maybe take a train, like a love that's gone, might come around again, the picture's not kind, I could cry but won't, my place to make light, it might work out okay, he’ll never understand, the price that's to pay, within a city's sight, there's hardly a sound, under this Spring sky, a time to reshape, not tied to false hope, there’s nothing to gain, by going alone.

Zaylee

Some things you can't fool, in the gentle rain, don't know what to do, am i scrubbed by fire, hear myself say, is it only his desire, want to hear good news, sail down country lanes, look who's following you, like birds on a wire, its hard to ascertain, who's the biggest liar, he puts me in a stew, in fields makes me taste, warm and bitter fruit, he don't care if why, I sometimes miss my brains, worry when I cry, it doesn’t take a mule, to move the earth again, it's only in the blues, only one to praise.
