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.
