When liars shout out rules, keep away from pills, sing your own tunes, life is not some Santa Fe, that anyone can kill, silver gives you headway, money owed to every fool, find ways to laugh until. order sings in every room, a new prayer each day, will always fulfil, demands of lust and rage, dream of good news, don't worry at the chill, those you have to refuse, douse yourself with petrol, there'll always be bills, to make the petals bloom, no need for love's curfew, to slake your thrills, act with silent effort, reduce the debt to nil.

Paul

Don't sing them your Blues, stammer on the wire, say everyone pay some dues, life isn't a stone, left in the fire, they want you to atone, whoever breaks the news, cancelled the choir, they sing singular truths, business in their bones, poisons your desires, you'll always be alone, read all the books, they always inspire, stay away from booze, this café is your ruin, but always aspire, wear your red shoes, each little bit of you, that everyone requires, give not a clue, you're no liar.

Esme Three

Drunk enough to ask why, you've been chosen, not so much to deny, laugh at all the crazes, that they try to pose, invoke stupid phrases, say sing your favourite lines, time goes by unspoken, catch you on the fly, wonder if you’re lazy, your broken ring of stones, those sweet days of praying, smoking is no crime, to verify love's soaking, clouds lower the sky, dreams settle on packing cases, blow on cold bones, dance away the traces, flowers rest by your side, just some little token, more than any pride, they keep from being broken.

Esme Two

I live in a haze, sheltered from the wind, stuck here like sellotape, best not to moan, or set a new trend, life gives me a loan, won’t buck that train, scour the land, for the perfect way, in my worn-out clothes, I’ll enjoy being kind, am not on my bones, don't have to change, know where I’ve been, love's more than trade, when someone groans, I'll put on a grin, move out of that zone, fire up a rage, break free of sin, scrub out your name, dance again.

Esme

If there are good parts, I hear her say, they're not in your heart, I look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, I'm cool but my eyes spark, wouldn't it be great, to make a new start, to find something new, she listens but waits, doesn't need truth, a psychiatrist by starts, reason's just a name, I'll sell the car, won’t let it go too far, she smiles and berates, kisses me beneath the stars, tears me apart, you’re a fool she states, not so smart, to hesitate.

Liv Three

Water runs softly, there's a need for grace, to bathe my swollen feet, restrained in my moans, I settle for this place, heart against bone, glad to leave the city, blown here by rain, all that's within me, sits at this grotto, where words fail, how to atone, for all the grim testimony, offered me this day, the price derisory, the stupid jokes alone, the useless games, discretion with clothes, I want to receive, to throw away the cage, delight in this birth, sunshine on my face.

Liv Two

Tunes jingle and you sway, my insides screech, got to make my case, between home and missing you, help me to say, what I need to do, my tear-streaked face, lemon blue by the sea, shows how It’s fate, to kill the truth, by our own conceit, through our many loops, others come late, eager to squeeze, love from this party, they re-echo the news, a coward's retreat, how I danced away from you, maybe there's a way, you can see me freely, wiping clean the slate, allowing my release?
