Steve

Since I've been at home, who knows what to do, they let me stay alone, sleep any time of day, watch me walk the avenue, nothing more to say, like breaking up a stone, ask what’s wrong with you, why can’t you conform, the walls are turning grey, the bedroom’s singing blues, I’ve eaten all my cake, say I have to go, always play the fool, act like it’s my totem, confined within this space, there’s only one truth, pure as a snowflake, sing and love your bones, they’ll dance by too soon, who cares who atones, always pay your dues.

Hesta

I scatter all your needs, like ashes on the bar, nothing is so easy, blow away your pay, then fly afar, laugh at the terrible waste, a shrimp in the sea, a shipwreck in a bottle, you won't set me free, it's a different age, even if you drive a car, I still can’t wait, what about my needs, that warm hazy fog, a path to childhood dreams, I sing to the waves, all the stuff you're not, a pearl amongst the wreckage, drink is bad for me, songs leave too many scars, my face has turned pink, what’s going on?

Johnny

Standing by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, looking like a tramp, I listen to the news, someone else to hate, other cuds to chew, better take a chance, if we play this game, we could go to France, hoping we’re not askew, wondering what's to gain, whatever else we do, all this talk of paths, they’ll scatter our remains, whenever there’s a chance, someone will bring a can, shout hooya what a day, drink before we’re asked, cigarettes and laughs, beer drunk like champagne, life here's a dance, we’ll kill it anyway.

Sarah

It's quiet here now, after years of the need, my face smooth as stone, I still see the grave, where praise be, his soul is saved, we arrived on the brow, to this new territory, why only He knows, grant me the days, where I can act carefree, not hemmed by ingrates , men with barren tones, say have one on me, cry on my shoulder, plead for a stay, they’re here for a reason, to me it’s the same, in the blue dawn, bells ring exclusively, I make my way home, over there is the sea.

Kelly

I sing the joy of praise, see the creep of moon, new horizons not always great, I say I have to go, like I play the fool, laugh like a bag of stones, not content with any place, or single line of truth, it’s for me the going rate, you want to plough alone, not enough to ground you, no one still at home, but roads are never straight, even when they’re new, trouble's still to rake, we won’t come to blows, take me if you want to, but not as a loan, since you've been away, we’ll try to find some glue, each night pray, we won't sing the blues.

Lauren

Living here's no paradise, it never makes the news, people here aren’t nice, could as well be jail, bricks and sea like glue, love’s a broken gate, all I want's a better life, accept what we can do, need a little respite, my songs are well regaled, the arias too, a pity that I crave, this cesspit full of lies, disco pieces made of you, don't ask me why, what has been created, boils away like stew, I’m not an easy gaze, home’s for me no searchlight, where it beams on truth, naked street nights, don’t shed pretty hues.

Mathilde

Some nights I ask why, can we ever fly alone stars burn out and die, it might well be Mars, for all anyone knows, we’re out this far, sailing through the starry night, the wind black and cold, it’s no place to lie, if its kids and dogs you want, ham falling off the bone, don’t start a new war, can you hear me cry, running out of furlough, it's not enough to sigh, we’ll buy a new car, see how fast she goes, stay where we are, even if the flame’s not right, create space in our home, lightning rides the sky, am I that far gone ?
