Oprah

Look at me i seethe, is it my grey hair, do i need new teeth, am i always too late, as if you'd care, use me as a shipping crate, what might have been, it's not fair, for a life of ease, nights i sway, without a slur, i can take the folly, don't sing of the sea, you're not that aware, these Bluesy evenings, like a fish to the bait, your eyes flare, you say i'm great, but can you love me, look at me you nerd, i'm shaping to leave, are you scared ?

Ola

Bum notes make you late, where else can you go, the session group look grave, forget what's not fair, in a life of soul, you're not that gaga, give the eye and hesitate, don't let them groan, show them fortune's way, it's not your long hair, plaided like a tow rope, that makes them scared, you go against the grain, out there alone, find it hard to delegate, your songs make them dare, think its you they own, not those insides you tear, singing makes you resonate turns us all to stone, those hands across your face, all you need to show.

Oona

Lit up like some ocean bar, well within the credit zones, searching for a forgotten Da, only fools pay your dues, let you drink alone, leave you here to stew, you can only wave ta ra, before taking loans, that won't get you far, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, your ravaged face is Blue, your hair is like Safa, Saints reveal their bones, songs inside you whisper Nah, your trail is well used, but you won't leave home, life circles around you, yours is not a lucky star, that seeks the right tone, a motorway garage is your Spa, tales of love a joke.

Ned

Don't break holy orders, or claim upon your mother, stuff you swore, love's free to bestow, all the stuff you smother, a place without windows, can you see my core, like a scalded trooper, strapped to useless more's, whenever money's short, you'll curse your brother, we've paid our tort, hard stuff behind his door, fools live without bother, then run away fraught, no book or deeds bought, will lie you with our others, you ignore the call, who'll pay a heavy score, you've always been a Drover, love within you's raw, better take cover.

Nail

I won't say don't go, or ask you to align, my joys and sorrows, what you refuse, so many bright times, leaves you the loser, a chance to blow, on dancing wires, what you won't tow, still play the fool, who does what's right, always someone's mule, no more than show, in dreams cold light, you're looking old, in a place smoky blue, you don’t know, anymore what's true, a place without windows, around your fire, to warm my toes, i think about crying.

Nellie

I throw away the years, every pie has its crust, the laughs and happy beers, no life is too short, for those who say you must, in our summer town, she comes in like the deer, with a smell of musk, in hazy bars she appears, i knew she'd be caught, spinning pennies in the dust, she's never overawed, what brought her here, against everything she trusts, a woman so clear, no book or County Court, hides the fact she's bust, didn't do what i could, blows flame across my tears, shares jokes and puts, hope for those who disappear, geese rise in the dusk.

Neilson

You won't let me hail, anyone else to dance, rooms with darkened pales, you always play the fool, waiting for kindness to pass, try to make life smooth, nothing more to say, so little of pure chance, when you drive away, rage against these Blues, lilac as a lonely fast, don't let them get to you, my life is framed, and your face is tanned, gliding down the freeway, tell you what to do, pull over make a stance, you're no fool, twirl me 'round again, seek a ship for France, say what you want to say, you'll get another chance.
