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.
