Isla Two

Go on then be silent, you're only skin and bone, what am I a license, who demands what you say, the only song I own, down this highway, a taste that deepens, penetrates my soul, I float away lighter, who are you to state, the only pain is home, look at my face, this shell of the sea, has no need to groan, against my being, sing as you pray, don’t try to console, no one makes your day, or calls time to lighten, what you don't know, what makes you frightened, when you throw stones?

Isla

No one deceives you, without some pain, knowing what they lose, scrubbed by fire, you know what to do, include desire, they tempt you with a Brew, in a fallow land ornate, not too much to choose, like a bird on a wire, it's hard to disdain, the other drunks for hire, who you can see through, don't laugh again, bones will tell the truth, the land asks why, you live without stain, forget that patch of sky, a seeker of good news, you follow down the lane, some things you can't fool, in the morning rain.

Liv Three

She says from on high, is that the sea, don’t you wonder why, if it's all true, she’s as bad as me, eyes blink like jewels, a diamond sun burns bright, with hopes of eternity, she says life’s so brief, is it this crew, she enquires breezily, let’s sleep till noon, we’ll sail the sky, nothing else beats scrutiny, this cold April light, we're so sad and cool, who can expect sympathy, when we act like fools, on these long flights, we drink for company, don’t care if we're right, strangely at ease.

Liv two

Her manner always cool, many a life she’s blown, wish it were mine too, never crashing like the sea, an artist bright unknown, she continues to stay clean, no danger of any muse, creates but doesn’t own, says more is for fools, she won’t leave the street, doesn’t pray for calm, throw anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, she doesn’t want you, a loving need, for those who drown, brings no sense of ease, give us our daily news, make it warm as toast, she will always choose, to strip away her soul.

Liv

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, when others ask you why, look at the stones, you never fail, if you find yourself alone, studying the times, life’s a trial, you always find the style, can you atone, when lovers wail, and darkness marks your home, flip a coin see the sky, think of road and rail, best to leave this way, drink wine from broken cones, discard desolate mail, throw weeping hosts a bone, can’t be worse than Jail, laughing at your file, you’ll hit the trail, dance the lonely miles.

Nadia Three

You stretch the sunny days, smile an absent stream, now you're on your way, don’t bring me bad news, like a losing team, or say you know what to do, lying in the rain, by St Brendan’s quay, it kills me to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to release, a parish of broken rules, I’ll work and save, whatever the need, but always feel your nails, the lovers you took, made you dream, now you're just cool, meeting in a warm cafe', bridge of burned-out feelings, you sip warm tea and cakes, something’s missing.

Nadia Two

Is it just this time, your mother comes, to beat a different cry, anyone can phone, say what they’ve done, but nothing catches her throat, a fertile ground of whines, no hint of being done, we count the chimes, she doesn't come alone, wants to have some fun, always brings some other drone, it’s you who wait in line, pleading c’mon mum, shaking like a vine, it nourishes her bones, to see our little drum, it disguises what she knows, everyday a fine, she won’t waste a crumb, says it’s a waste of time, asking for the tomb.
