Asha

Laugh at hopes betrayed, gather holy things, take them to my grave, make me say a truth, to every little thing, notes arrive on cue, what a dance they make, on woven silks they bring, threads to hide their face, if only they knew, love is not a circus ring, but murders quite a few, smoke hangs in the rain, they ask me to sing, the songs of Billy Holiday, ships play lovely tunes, I really love the spray, it blows away the Blues, I’ll gamble it all and say, life to me is everything, don’t regret a single day, grey dawn's lightening.

Bella

Forget all the clowns, that come to woo you, half of them in chains, as loud as your woes, ships blow hooters, every song sings of home, not just in their parlance, but down each avenue , who can fault your tan, you reign without a throne, bars are full of losers, you’d rather be alone, nothing comes by chance, your times are fewer, forget about the past, the barefoot walk on stones, who would ever refute, a life that’s gone, strange this coming down, aboard a Cargo Schooner, no swish of ballroom gown, you’re still a cruiser.

Jasmine

You don’t gesticulate at your inventive best, when others sneer, berate, you open every door, mend all our fences, never see us scared, chattering we begin to shake, drink like all the rest, we won't stop or hesitate, fools we sing forever more, never put us to the test, ask what's the score, the night's cool probate, resides in the West, no matter the toll it takes, forbidden troubadours, demand our presence, you never leave us forlorn, but cool you slake, whatever our cask or blend, sweep away our pain, stay good friends.

Martina

Is this really the place, to start to cry, where even love's ashamed, the life around you shows, the beat of time, now nowhere else to go, soaked on the ocean main, the airways you fly, always open to winning ways, what is there to know, when you sail the sky, wooden box or last throw, you once jumped bail, blamed that other guy, beyond the spike of jail, your lips atone, for all the constant lies, like the stars grow cold, it's not easy to explain, what goes on inside, your face strained, your eyes a constant why? .

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 ?
