Mattie Three

You who always slight, priest's robes of purple hue, can say what you like, isn't the sea divine, your smile is cotton blue, beams another time, discard this crass disguise, a lover of so few, try to make it wise, you drink me like wine, ask what can I do, her hair is wild behind, it blows around my eyes, Fox TV's bad news, is my bridge of sighs, we live in dismal climes, my heart bursts in two, we could be sublime, I won't dodge your fines, have nothing to refuse, if I know what's right, get in front of you.

Mattie Two

Bring me some sweet sign, in darkness and grain blue, your eyes in constant flight, come near to me i moan, this cargo has its virtue, no one lives alone, we sail across the night, eager to light the fuse, say prayers for all our lives, you're even more an omen, struck by sweet perfume, temptations for my soul, spin me in the light, all you say is true, only God can decide, hold me growing old, console me with the news, for other lives laid cold, bells ring out in might, our journey won't confuse, your tears tell me why, I will die for you.

Mattie

I'm Lucky to pass this way, over there life's dear, evenings end each happy day, no one here is brave, or worries about the Seers, why bring such disgrace, they look at you and say, measure life not years, to broken laws don't pray, why define yourself by hate, drink a little beer, be gentle with your fate, all the times you're late, share a laugh not tears, bells ring out for play, rather than enslave, all the things you fear, let them go don't hesitate, if my hair turns grey, the sum of all this cheer, lovers why not calibrate, what's suddenly clear.

Faiza Four

He dances in the tide, his fame is just beginning, nails me with that smile, my mother asks what's new, she is not forgiving, love's not running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, he's many a famous night, it brings me back to you, god knows who does the bidding, have to break this news, who knows what's right, when he can demand anything, sunlight,water,sky, love blows down the avenue, lilac heads are dripping, he melts me lemon blue, his lips twist like knives, our trips to secret venues, his eyes the river wide, what else can I do?

Faiza Three

A cold bright day, warms your bones, Comrade death's cheated again, you give money to fools, you live alone, you smile don't drool, no one carries freight, when you're at home, except those who ingratiate, they'll need more proof, if they think you'll groan, when you're blue, there are no bad days, blown on weather zones, why explode your case, they say you're doomed, tell them to go, you're a woman without a curfew, who'll cheat any fate, wear a red raincoat, find gold in the grate, shine like a shiny stone.

Faiza Two

I'll dance to flutes, if i'm not too late, wine and sea reckless fools, don't make me groan, I'm a special case, in fresh clothes and Cologne, I'll borrow the moon, church and state, if you'll break my curfew, we are never alone, in what we hate, a promenade to our bones, tell me the truth, is our vision great, no one lives in broken ruins, maybe when you've gone, let me stake my case, shiny as a polished stone, you make me swoon, call me your fate, let us lie in stupour, love's not a duel.

Faiza

Sparkle like a jewel, laugh through all your tears, who needs to be cruel, you are great, what have you to fear, cancel all bad faith, turn my head you fool, you need me siren near, don't feel spooked, your ribbons bring you grace, perfume costs you dear, a twisted cool and gait, dreams dredge other rules, ached for visions dear, golden domes aloof, along the shipping lanes, my laden ships career, all of us who fail, dance this torrid purlieu, find a passage clear, nothing left to rue, ask for better years.
