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 talk around me squares, squeezes like I'm fattened, despite the way things turn, carry on that eager you, under dreams of white satin, you'll never know what's true, stones won't light this girl, ships can sail forgotten, I’ve so much more to learn, it’s warm on this avenue, God is not for mocking, not part of your crew, blue sourball summer swirls, you won’t see me rocking, it isn't me you've turned, lost among the blossom.

Lawyer Murphy

We claim and duly swear, first to hit the spot, is the one who gets them in, no drama or lucky stars, boring debts and mounting cost, we’ll always buy a jar, under the sun’s bright stare, the sidewalk lit with dots, no one hides in here, anyone who makes their mark, another folds the cards, there are no easy documents, perfumed tables lay bare, rusty nails our lot, we always have to share, danger near or far, before any cop, Has Been or Jack Tar, sheds a tear, from streets sweaty and hot, we’ll defend our turf, it’s all we’ve got.

Patrick

It sometimes works a treat, sitting stunned around a pool, vodka tonics daiquiri cherries, what your head can't undo, your bones won't fool, the wish to denude, on yellow sand redeem, all that hides from you, scrubbed white by the sea, you can’t shake this mood, until you hear the news, just how much you lose, it's hard to be discreet, what you've been through, so try to murmur easy, when your fire turns blue, let trees haunt the avenues, they can’t disguise the truth, all that now’s left empty, will fill the hole in you, you’ll find sudden energy, no one casts you loose. we'll never fall apart, beside these walls.

Peter

Sober enough to ask why, this way’s been chosen, before anything we can deny, more a sombre space, your mouth frozen, by tired phrases, sing your favourite lines, the time done with roses, made better when you try, wave all the great stations beyond a life hopeful, shrunken or awakened, even at the graveside, witness love's cloaking, clouds sail the sky, what settles on your face, neither time provokes, nor blows away the traces, a paper at your side, an accountant’s notebook, more a wish to verify, what truth gets spoken.

Mathilde

If trouble's in your blood, in this place of whispers, who says it does much good, rivers you can name, don't need a chorus, repeat them just the same, times they say you should, be prepared for this, or go nuts, they'll find another way, don’t do what they insist, their knowledge drives you crazy, maybe you need a hug, go away without a ship, rain that falls like dust, when you're free again, push the middle distance, make the Ocean your frame, ride their cool diagnosis, the worry in their lists, blow for tugs, choose to live.

Greens

Easy enough to ask why, we've been chosen, so much here to deny, laugh at all the crazes, they try to impose us, invoke stupid phrases, ask what’s our favourite line, act as If well spoken, will the world catch fire, they wonder if we’re lazy, in work shirt and overcoat, sweet days of praying, roll out the usual lies, verify love's soaking, clouds lower the sky, green in our furious phases, we bow in cold assurance, dance away the traces, a flower lifts our smile, just some little token, more than any pride, we stand here unbroken.

Fiona

Don't forget you're better, red lipstick on your lips even if they stick together, you don’t come here to booze, kissing your fingertips, there's even more good news, love is not forever, when you laugh and skip, time at all or never, kick off Monday’s shoes, roll around your hips, now’s the time for truth, nothing beats duress, giving liars a clip, an artist’s hope at best, who needs a little dress, when you paint like this, his songs play your request, would you be lesser, if you stood there stripped, binned all his letters, wise in what you miss?
