Drunk enough to ask why, I've been chosen, so much here to deny, laugh at all the crazes, they try to impose, invoke stupid phrases, like sing your favourite lines, act as If well spoken, who will catch their eye, they wonder if you’re lazy, to work in tattered overcoat, sweet days of praying, they roll along like fire, verify love's soaking, clouds lower the sky, dreams made on packing cases, blow in cold assurance, I dance away the traces, flowers rest by my side, just some little token, more than any pride, see me as unbroken.

Billy

A worn out empty feeling, all you wish to hide, the pain of someone leaving, she brings you the news, doesn’t try, to disguise what’s true, never mean she lights the sea, an artist cool as sky, to this old has been, she’s looking for something new, a need to find, the story of her youth, whoever walks this street, searches each night, for what they need, he sinks a few, failing with the light, at St Anthony's quay, sheltered by her being, like a soul on fire, the visions she’s seen, witnessed her desire.

Robert

Tell me, tell me why, they treat you like a seer, my lips dance in delight , you command a beautiful air, bells wash away the fear, candle scent and myrrh, who says when we die, there’s call for stolen tears, demands we have to try, life contains its passionate flair, a proud engineer, our joys held to the light, I walk like a man gone by, through the city's cheer, so hot it seems to fry, every stolen lair, songs for all their ears, we don’t have a care, our ship is full of literature, they love orators here, in darkness a green lullaby, our souls rise to share..

Jenny

Would you even care, in breaking up the pattern, it’s gone beyond a dare, have you read the news, with your open wallet, I'm not in love with you, your hand around me squares, squeezes like I'm fattened, despite the way things turn, carry on that hungry you, with your dreams of satin, you'll never know what's true, jewels won't shine this girl, ships can sail forgotten, I’ve so much more to learn, it’s warm on Cathedral avenue, God is not for mocking, he’s nowhere on your crew, a sourball summer swirls, you won’t see me rocking, it isn't me you've turned, lost among the blossom.

Charley

Dream tunes don't hurt, enough to crack, your candy world, silken tents you've thrown, never collapse, held fast by stones, plates you sometimes hurl, nothing keeps you back, sweet talk makes you curl, this life is not your own, in many ways it's crass, consider that part gone, you're not perturbed, how much time has passed, flags are left unfurled, their restraint is constant hope, will you hold the pass, nothing's worth the rope, sing old songs or burn, put love on the gas, turn the flame down, hold it fast.

Peta

Please don't be a swine, playing out your games, always seeking good times, maybe try the truth, fixed in some lousy frame, it's always there with you, whatever turns out right, is never far from pain, sleeping bad, drinking wine, It’s such a bum tune, come home I say, sweeten me with good news, honest about my crimes, no one hears me say, every loser has grand designs, I don’t sing the blues, waiting for some dismal train, but has it dawned on you, when you hug the coastlines, sit and watch the rain, even if it’s fine, no-one gains who plays away?

Warren

They know what I mean, how I roam, face down every deal, cool but burn with rage, when I try to atone, she always closes the gate, says it’s not her scene, when my nerves are blown, asks where I've been, useless to prevaricate, what is on the bone, always too late, never listens to me , bringing garage flowers home, my side of testimony, I’ll wave goodbye to hate, call if the kids need clothes, her turn now to wait, I wonder how it seems, when she hears me phone, will she stand the heat, now I’ve gone?
