Sean

Say you’ll get a grip, please don’t rage and bellow, give me that old guff, you don't need drink to say, stash it in the hold, find the need to get away, you always make surly trips, a manacled wretched clone, watch others dance so hip, won’t let your spirits fray, down unforgiving zones, lies in everything they say, make your laughter dip, like alcoholic mojos, with their lousy 'scripts, will you get some sleep, for your twenty stone, when faith makes a leap, don’t wonder why her kiss, beats every childhood groan, here’s another coffin ship, waiting as your home.

Raith

It's been a while, but there you go, I’m no longer a child, when women start to pray, or when the cock crows, you'll have your say, no need to find, what you already know, deep in your smile, a star shows the way, frozen in my tones, there are no trains, say you don't mind, you'd rather walk alone, whatever the time, stay here a while, wrapped against the snow, you have a great style, we sit by the fire, listening to the blow, your eyes look wild, give me your soul.

Alex

A diagnosis only half true, I smell the Limes, ask what's wrong with you, act like I already know, ties that bind, blow hard on my bones, hope brings a certain glue, what can be put right, if you pay your dues, I won't be alone, in this rosy light, there’s always my home, I’m warm near the flue, it's not a crime, for fire to bring solace, how to keep going through evening and night, when the kids 'phone, I have to be fine, coffee gets me through, this strange time, will you give me a clue ?

Mariana

Fear is dark around the Bight, makes me nourish ancient flame, wait for lamps to shine, when I'm near to you, I'm certain that I’ll stay, the rocks are different hues, you whisper dead right, only takes a moment to pray, we don’t have to fight, there are many pathways through, you don’t explain, erase the filtered news, laughter comes at better times, no one's here to blame, part of me is dying, fire cannot diffuse, or sand dunes sweep away, a return to desperate feuds, beyond this moonless night, I need you to state, say to break the silence, we'll go home again.

Rollo

Will you be the same, a smile beneath the trees, each time we separate, the gardens and the grime, bottles stacked like wheat, where we keep the wine, now's no morning shame, resting at my feet, it’s only this tired game, No I'm fine, Please come back to me, don't give me battered lies, why does it always take, a dawn novena, to have you here again, you smile like a wolverine, your body is a litany, now should be our time, why can’t you remain, the sun is uneven, traffic fills the lanes, can you smell the sea ?

Myriam

Why is it always you, that makes it seem, every day brings good news, not meant to live alone, lucky we don't know disease, especially here at home, if the wind blows cruel, it won't stop our dreams, even if we shed a few, come over here dead slow, dance that twisted beat, reach me with mellow tones, sing when we’ve had a few, now is just our history, one golden avenue, even on the days you moan, you're always easy, blow away those blue notes, laugh the way you do, it's never just the sea, nothing frightens you, you make me believe.

Louisa

Love holds the door ajar, my hair falls down unkind, nowhere gets me very far, I sit on a high stool, drink a little wine, God knows I need a few, you ask about my Ma, Oh she’s fine, stuck as usual in the tar, the money she blew, in a poor easy light, just to please some other fool, cruising in her fast car, it rocks around her lies, no wonder I’m scarred, there’s nothing cool, about the hurt inside, except that other part of you, viewed from afar, that sees each morning rise, like the northern star, I’ll have my time.
