Katharine
In the diamond sunlight,
she sees the poor,
heads covered on the line,
it's cold for the season,
father's sons daughters,
clutch papers for credence,
there's a big tide tonight,
many a truth is sought,
can't be swept outta sight,
they shiver in the lee,
from a city above the port,
they've come here by sea,
she worries about time,
wonder if they're caught,
within a new policy drive,
there's just no reason,
to tolerate faces wrought,
exposed by innocent plea,
a detail of an Ocean life,
ends here with a nought,
some bring their wives,
who could ask more ?

Josie
She has a sure spark,
her face lit in lights,
mail unopened in yards,
hankers for what's above,
craves on lonely nights,
doesn't worry about love,
with her delivery cart,
they ask her to walk by,
messages for hazy bars,
we all need a crust,
the gig suits her fine,
she won't drink doubles,
if it's a walk too far,
rushing about's a crime,
just return before dark,
works without gloves,
unlike other times,
before the sun came up,
if they publish a chart,
tell us what's right,
she'll study those cards,
be first in line.

Isla
Stand by a shadowed nave,
where praise be,
know I'll be saved,
my eyes are like thunder,
wine dark as the sea,
love never slumbers,
near the moon blue grave,
stripped beneath the trees,
nothing's left to trade,
between here and eternity,
explodes a lightning seed,
doesn't stay to linger,
my heart starts to break,
it's late for the season,
sun still finds a way,
my face shines in wonder,
a soul scrubbed clean,
one nearly torn asunder,
it's quiet in this place,
after fifty years of greed,
I'll find my own grace,
someone waits for me.

Is it a love of rain,
remains of a burning pyre,
that you rage against,
sitting in this gloom,
ask who does the hire,
you never leave the room,
full of problems turn away,
listen to the criers,
habits not easy to break,
to do what you do,
your eyes search the wire,
it means so much to you,
beg offers off the saved,
excuse your ice cold ire,
nothing is what you gave,
whisper at my perfume,
drag me through the mire,
a sung song never true,
no escape by trains,
your tongue is on fire,
the miracles you crave,
beyond any liar.

Grace
Try not gamble it away,
don't care what you do,
won't dampen my rage,
on Autumn;s gentle floor,
ask issue from your muse,
fracture a shallow draw,
watch ships in the bay,
yr life is such a fuse,
salt always in your cake,
everyone knows the score,
sad song's arrive on cue,
what a pile they hoard,
smoke ciggies in the rain,
every trick in use,
you think it such a game,
love is tied with cord,
see how it strangles you,
on days without support,
slash at causes betrayed,
slice open bitter fruit,
trample roses you gave,
high on engine fuel.

Finley
Will let you see follow,
what people up here feel,
circulate in their bones,
that jittery smile strain,
blowing through the trees,
they smell it miles away,
right now choose yr cones,
every lock without a key,
make these folks swallow,
why seek the holy rain,
peer in mountain streams,
it's only a shadow again,
everything has to go ,
like other crazy schemes,
this is no picture show,
a long ride on trains,
to live without dreams,
you can't dance evry day,
what you have to do now,
show where you've been,
sometimes best to allow,
nothing's how it seems.

Emma
Simply try to calculate,
how many walls to climb,
beyond the hike of jail,
my lips can't fake,
disguised taste of wine,
fear a stern magistrate,
present a dreadful state,
think I look just fine,
don't bother look again,
's not easy been great,
makes me wonder why,
no one else celebrates,
a terrible solo trace,
emanates from my lies,
they'll know it anyway,
maybe jump the plane,
winter in warm climes,
spend my untold gains,
somewhere else to bathe,
could be gone a while,
scrutinise my new face,
dream of fresh tides.

Delaney
My lips need to show, ,
how we're all flawed,
it's something to know,
love rides a lilac sea,
whoever takes the tour,
comes back with me,
life means to grow ,
between furious pause,
no time to go slow,
my song's like a reed,
it pipes out for more,
gentle quiet scenes,
come slip into my zone,
like you used to before,
love brings good mojo,
knowledge that's real,
loss falls to the floor,
how good you'll feel,
it'll buff up your tones,
give succour to the poor,
temper your groans,
call out the score.

Charlotte
What hurts deep inside,
something in your face,
my eyes devoid of pride,
what you need to know,
no longer is the case,
wrapped in dollar notes,
new to me these lies,
to see your heart break,
faithless turn of tide,
a million ways to show,
can see the Lunar waste,
but nowhere else to go,
desolate in my cries,
sunk by rotten gain,
I own up to the crime,
how the wind blows,
will eat grass in jail,
my lips pale as snow,
no time to step aside,
quaff my cold Champagne,
won't give reasons why,
I'd do it all again.

Bodie
Summer's cost us dear
deflated by the news,
broken sump fall near,
others might real moan,
blow into their dukes,
tik tok their phones,
happy that we're square,
doom doom more doom,
is it better over there,
we'll sit on our bones,
forget the ocean blues,
never come to blows,
why sit and shed tears,
let others stay glued,
faces bereft of cheer,
live life on our boat,
like far horizon seers,
dream of places to go,
laugh we're still here.

Ava
Always ask what's new,
but never hold the door,
stuff arrives on cue,
do you ever say please,
divined by any score,
never a sense of ease,
always jump the queue,
trying to give a cause,
you'd bust any curfew,
bad guys on the street,
a foil for your whores,
won't hear the screams,
a pulse of life askew,
never takes a pause,
sweat on the latest news,
know where you've been,
all your furious tours,
whose turn now to bleed,
you're not anyone's glue,
dancing on the floor,
your head full of ruin,
who loves you more?

Zoe
Listrning to your news,
struggling in the rain,
like a winter's fugue,
no horizon's too bright,
for your dark to reigh,
have to know my rights,
makes uf life a purlieu,
my fires uncontained,
wonder at my attributes,
never did make the time,
to hear a donkey bray,
sit gently by a fire,
before a sunrise ruin,
your hopes might be ok,
if I deign to teach you,
every wondered why,
enquires about your game,
make me take fright,
I'm bored stupid too,
hope fortunes hold sway,
as a sprirt on the roof,
smothers us in flame.

Yareli
He comes to me in bits,
say water's in his blood,
somehow nothing fits,
how his Ma baked cake,
made a life of rough,
his Da just the same,
he carries yellow lists,
the things to do tough,
cries before the kids,
is there another way,
maybe he needs a shove,
defeat his troubled days,
I'll help if he insists,
even if his head is wood,
who wants another blitz,
act like it's a game,
won't ever make a fuss,
suffer all his phases,
in his house of whispers,
history never shuts,
you don't need a chorus,
give him love enough.

Ximena
When donkeys start to bray,
we sit side by side,
you turn to me and say,
its a lonely path alone,
hung avove a slide
use the sea like Homer,
you can't take a train,
never enclose our time,
just sit here and wait,
maybe use satellite phones,
it's not all sweet tides,
I might need a loan,
play my sweet silly games,
ask who's for a ride,
when do you get paid,
our horizon's unbroken,
no sail shines too bright,
love's our little token,
so far we're OK,
who really needs insight,
long trips are 4 slaves,
celebrate our life.

Wonder why i'm wrong,
to clear out my wishes,
robbing me of song,
hate to be on my own,
love this sunny vista,
do I take that phone,
holy smoke partner,
it beats being single,
know i could go faster,
yes of course am poor,
make to blow him a kiss,
where I'm calling from,
better to play dumb,
standing tall with this,
avoid rattling cans,
please god no more stone's,
shining on the shingle,
it's time to get going,
find my own stars,
retrieve some issues,
run an ocean bar,
give moon a tickle.

Violet
Never need search 4gain,
every task is spent,
working another's lane,
don't get sore,
putting up new fences,
here to help the poor,
you know what it takes,
to grant me some rest,
be a dutiful mate,
fools sing for applause,
everyone seeks credence,
who am I to count score,
years used to celebrate,
my terrible requests,
played some bad games,
two and two makes four,
exploited all defences,
always asked for more,
now you see me hesitate,
my new role's a test,
in night's cool probate,
remains are best..

Ully
Why always ask me why,
accept what's chosen,
before stopping to lie,
stars form in empty space,
are your lips stolen,
a shadow across yr face,
sing my favourite lines,
a time done with roses,
accept all you now deny,
beyond the kids faces,
beats a heart of stone,
don't talk of relations,
even at the graveside,
toss away yr Ma's'bonus,
let clouds sail the sky,
debt settles any debate,
wonder what follows us,
you kick at those traces,
flowers at your side,
just some little token,
me and you nod goodbye,
love frozen.
Jade
Wonder what i've done
clear away the dishes,
asks me what I want,
hate to be on my own,
love this sunlit vista,
do I take that phone,
holy smoke mother ,
it beats being single,
know am that bit slow,
yes of course we're poor,
make to blow a kiss,
where I'm calling from,
better to play dumb,
am standing tall with this,
avoid rattling the can,
please god no more Johns,
even on the shingle,
believe it's time to run,
keep away from lonestars,
who havn't got a nickel,
no fun being startled,
beached by a tickle.

Tatum
Look up at the moon,
a spring tide today,
ships pass by too soon,
birds have flown,
speeding on their way,
what really do we own,
eyes fill like pools,
mirrors in the grate,
missing somewthing new,
it's now a bitter zone,
where no one reigns,
once we called home ,
find someone not cool,
but kind and sedate,
someone not like you,
when the whistle blows,
you#ll be off again,
think empty phremones,
freighters need fuel,
to pay out the wages,
just why we need love,
keep up the flame..

That aching half of you,
can you smell the Limes,
scent a warm afternoon,
please act like u know,
in the ties that bind,
it's me in your bones,
not wise to stay cool,
say to do what’s right,
you won't give a clue,
I don't feel alone,
on this lonely flight,
I might even go home,
won’t rage and argue,
treat you like a crime,
if you wil not follow,
just need keep going,
see the stars at night,
it's me om the‘phone,
I'll be alright.

Ruby
Why live in a haze,
it's bad this time,
stuck like cellophane,
best not to moan,
he's hardly a crime,
am not on my own,
won't jump at trains,
scour a horizon line,
pray for perfect days,
in worn-out clothes,
enjoy what’s around,
Life's not a loan,
say a step change,
removes all grime,
love's no easy game,
when someone groans,
drink some more wine,
get out of that zone,
regaled in my ways,
heart seeks to fly,
find some escape,
open the blinds.

Quinn
I need a new home,
somewhere safe to stay,
what would you know,
stuff I need to do,
unravel all the waste,
separate the new,
sink in troubled zones,
lets solace fly away,
better the unknown,
a sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell in rain,
there's no sign of you,
listen to my moans,
grow louderg every day,
think all the loans,
what is sought by few,
draws an ease each day,
fires a gentle truth,
orchestral storms,
glisten them unfazed,
you'll never be calm,
I'm not the same.

Penelope
This is not me speaking,
jelly for my thoughts,
each day my bones reach,
a serious fall from grace,
cast adrift forlorn,
no wonder need to create,
make a fool of reason,
laugh if I get caught,
splintered axe of seasons,
you might rear and quake,
fake absence at my calls,
when I scream and shake,
aware of your treason,
sometimes ask why am born,
fearing true believers,
measure the lousy stakes,
ditch a fear of being torn,
am no widow maker,
don't you dream of empathy,
sitting on a wall,
I'm not here to please,
hardly here at all.

Olivia
Look at you now,
dwindled like a fire,
between broken stones,
is it in your creed,
to waste all desire,
experience no beat,
in garments sewn,
by another liar,
who would ever know,
incense crests the sea,
waves dance brighter,
this time for real,
they'll cast your bones,
using love as a tyre,
heading for no home,
at rest by the trees,
you suddenly enquire,
release from all this,
the brilliant ozone,
is a cedarwood pyre,
Summer ebbs your toes,
yr tearful expire.

Whoever claims the right,
across a wind hushed dune,
makes you wonder why,
I keep a cheerful home ,
try relegate the blues,
keep myself on the go,
forget the bitter times,
swamped in cool untruths,
resist a skimming tide,
I dream without a phone,
seek some other view,
don't let life postpone,
air splashes cool at night,
sooths beachlawn avenue,
everything will be alright,
reach for holy stones,
careful of their residue,
beats the notes you open,
he whistles passing by,
laughs and hums a tune,
won't tolerate more lies,
I am not a fool.
Mia
if you knew how to give,
you wouldn't need,
to ask a place to live,
this is no child’s game,
with you on your knees,
chasing all your days..
ADAPTED FROM
if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, seek a place to live, this is no child’s game, around what you believe, chasing all your days, what about the kids, with their surly needs, must they go adrift, golden ties can't negate, what shifts on the breeze, you let blow away, frame those terrible tips, you think such a wheeze, nail the coffin lid, even fools hesitate, to bring you gifts. what else can you desecrate, to live a life by drips, no care or loving heed, what yellow light strips, lays bare your creed?

Lucy
It always goes to show,
when I hear your blues,
in a lane dead slow,
be witness to your sighs,
the intersection feuds,
it makes me ask why,
drink and useless loans,
I ever stay with you,
boils my yellow bones,
instead of all the jibes,
why don't you peruse,
the skein of weary lies,
you tell like a joke,
asking me to sooth,
yr laughter teary notes,
don't try to act wise,
you bring nothing new,
to even moon lit nights,
better face the blow,
find some other venure,
deep within your soul,
seek another truth.

Kai
Am the one who fights,
what they put me through,
wear my cotton stripes,
within this sea of dark,
there's only really you,
let you know my scars,
who needs crass disguise,
a pool or hilltop view,
when I imagine you nights,
will sing like a lark,
when visitor's are due,
my clothes the best part,
they hang around my thighs,
soften work day's blues,
defy the bridge of sighs,
you're my shining star,
my spirit lifts the room,
your eyes fit to spark,
say you’ll pay the fines,
nothing left refused,
release from this trial,
make me laugh anew.

Josie
Don't whisper sweet lies,
in darkness grain blue,
my eyes need this sight,
sing me a Canto I moan,
in this place of virtue,
no one needs be alone,
sail among the isles,
s brightly lit fuse,
pray all of our lives,
sdance on hot stones,
drizzled by my perfume,
bring everything home,
you're my shining light,
more than any muse,
only love can sanctify,
when we’re growing old,
age will save our fuel,
not place it on hold,
bells ring out at night,
journey's fire a truth,
laughter tells us why,
joy's a falling moon.

Lucky to pass this way,
no one else is brave,
each evening castigate,
why worry if they jeer,
you are not a knave,
measure life not fear,
by broken laws you pray,
define my look and state,
be gentle in your say,
I can still drink beer,
even if not a crate,
unlike my other years,
bells ring out hurray,
call out the enslaved,
are here to generate,
forget the stuff of tears,
why scream or hesitate,
other souls draw near,
my hair is turning grey,
sum of constant forays,
love is our celebrate,
on this feast of days.

Hailey
You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
say you need a bride,
my mother sniffs be true,
she is not forgiving,
won't put up with fools,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
she snarls by my side,
it brings me back to you,
if women do your bidding,
no wonder I need curfew,
who knows if she's right,
when you demand everything,
sunlight, water, sky,
love blows down the dunes,
rose hip heads dipping,
don't melt me lemon blue,
your lips twist like knives,
reason not your virtue,
she'll nail you a smile,
nothing else is new.
