Marky

Dream tunes won't hurt, enough to crack, our happy café’ world, silken tents you've thrown, never collapse, held fast by metronomes, plates you sometimes hurl, nothing keeps me back, sweet talk makes you curl, this life is not our own, in many ways it's crass, consider that part gone, I’m not perturbed, how much time has passed, which flags are left unfurled, restraint is constant hope, will you hold me fast, nothing's worth the slope, old songsters sing or burn, set me on the path, turn the flame down, make it last.

Lynchy

The part of you we knew, used to play it short, raged at life around you, in this consumer light, you’re gone without a call, not very wise, nothing gives us a clue, no print or written law, if your trail’s well used, did we know your plight, or try to stop you go, with your cards so slight, we’d never be so rude, to bleat of others' woes, hard to make the rules, what we know of you, let us not postpone, stuff that’s hard to do, when you face the Court.

john Lynch

You say that you rule, working on the bread line, regarding the fools, think you're so great, before other's demise, stop before it's too late, it’s making you cruel, regard what’s going on inside, the face of Mr Cool, once again, your eyes dance like fireflies, you’ll have your way, but a poor gruel, overcooks these lies, if it’s all you do, lost in this game, strike before the time, of who holds the reins, burnt out mules, may offer you insight, but what's a greater wisdom, than being kind?

Karina

The love you sow, never goes to waste, everywhere you sound its echo, you have no need, to circle each new day, or save enough to flee, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, this is all you know, songs, flowers, pieces, to keep you engaged, don’t need to be free, you’ve already flown, away from his name, makes you sing as you go, a house by the sea, tides and winter and flame, make you happy, brilliant songs, whisper your fame, you are the full show, stars shape your passage.

Puffa

Do you remember the sea, the swell and the spray, our dance of Thebes, now the kids have flown, gone away, have their own homes, we dance on the beach, at the end of Sunday, our loving done within reach, each part of the gloom, is suddenly drained, somewhere in the blue, you touch my knee, show me the way, my troubles cease, I'm windblown happy, I hold your face, love this soul café, catch moments like these, listen to what I say, buy me chips and mushy peas, watch my eyes dilate

Eugenia

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.
