Fara

She worries about her years, and wonders about her sleep, certain steps could bring tears, they say she feels alone, but know she's not cheap, dreams of coming home, every prayer masks her fears, raised each night to release, the bar makes things clear, terrible singers hard tones, clinging to each night's conceit, doesn't make her a crone, when morning clouds sheer, there's a need to keep, the bedroom closed on snores, her bath runs like a weir, a holy place that keeps, a strong heart beat, everything's so dear.

Go on watch me pray, i never got Baptised, do you know what to say, that love makes us fools, can see it in your eyes, what it does to you, you lie around all day, hear me praise the sky, talk of picking up a wage, dark glasses a cool blue, dressing up's your high, what you know is true, why you force the pace, nothing easy in your life, a paramour always late, life is just one race, God never hides, face your demons face, let me enjoy the tide.

Fianna

The wind's an old SoSo, who cares about the train, dancing like a skeleton's bones, busted clothes and spirits dazed, bad vibes we stand derailed, wayward beings without a say, sad breath ain't mine alone, will we see rain, dying for an other show, all aboard they sing away, everything is now in place, they don't need stowaways, care how much we atone, give us drugs hear us pray, ask how we're going, like this on the road, no matter what our pain, old timers on the back row, rattle their chains.

Fernandina

Our time lost between bars, padres and shame, the farmland stretches far, shattered fire within my stars, playing a dangerous game, the song of lovely Spa's, times time inside your car, through beaten wheat in flames, a Summer's avatar, each blue war, unknowing what to say, words becoming shared, whose palm did you cross, was it yours to frame, when you told my Da, your love imprimes a scar, stones surround my name, fear spreads like an arc, until i take the train.

Fila

Holy fools are coming near, who are they to care, what we class as dear, nothing here to ask, only what they've heard, long journeys at the mast, sorrow is not our fear, freedom's for the birds, just a way out of here, our love comes by cask, not what we share, fuelled by other rats, we'll work at debts to clear, often on the third, or some other troubled year, tell us how to steer, the way to find a cure, remind us of Aquinas's tears, innocence and myrrh.

Fancy

Imagine where you are, shivering in your clothes, alongside a Blue police car, no one gives you ease, but a whispering groan, of wasted opportunity, above the still born stars, someone to call you home, where colour is no bar, and dreams not diseased, bought with pay day loans, cried broken homilies, try to stay calm, before the light shines close, hope there are no scars, , who will call my Ma, hear those whispered tones, asks what is the drama, jelly for your bones.

Frederica

What keeps you being down, a crescent moon at Easter, a night time after sun, your desire to own, denies every season, ordnance map or red zone, a clutch of wayward clouds, billow a search to flee, scudding far from the town, building blocks of your mound, already in dreams, can you accept holy ground, or is it that Chloroform, helps you manage breathing, don't act like a drone, when you love you drown, nothing's given for free, put away your doubts, try to take it easy.
