Whitney

I wonder if she's right, to head for the sea, lilac as the night, she’ll dance and parade, make faces for a reason, her soul works that way, the shouting and fighting, slakes her release, star time’s her lightning, the eyes bear the fray, cold for the season, when she calls it a day, what comes to the wire, before she flees, is pulled from the fire, she has no in tray, Spring's done with heating, needs to be away, will she always love me ?

Valentina

Will you come back this way, to see the ruins, each time we separate, in this tired game, you play the fool, I dream of your face, just what it might take, through a cool afternoon, for you to remain, I can’t explain, why there are no avenues, keep me on the rails, here in the shade, I’m thinking of you, my thoughts are like rain, are you made of clay, shall I howl at the moon, I know there's a flame, you’ll come back soon.

Uma

The aching half of you, when you smell the Limes, on a wind tossed avenue, act like you'll follow, the ties that bind, feel them in your bones, it’s wise to stay cool, say you know what’s right, please give me a clue, I ‘m not alone, in this lonely night, I might even go home, won’t rage and argue, not like it’s a crime, put a fire in the flue, you have to keep going, try to do what’s right, the kids might even ‘phone , if they feel inclined.

Tara

The sun rises uneven, cars fill up their lanes, I won't see you 'till evening, beyond the night sky, all I need to say, is what keeps deep inside, a sepia rush of feeling, love is just a name, give me one good reason, I will toe the line, it matters that you stay, not go off this time, reject my dawn novenas, smile like a drain, boil my bones for yeast , I know am just a swine, but don’t act betrayed, drink another wine, accept my offer of peace.

Sophie

Go on then be free, Your skin is well fused, who am I to believe, or demand what to say, the only song I knew, blown down this highway, is a tune bittersweet, down in my shoes, floats high on the breeze, who are you to state, the only pain is curfew, when you're in my face, you smell of the sea, don’t need an excuse, against some rock of eternity, you tie up your laces, better than your dues, no one makes your day, you never have a clue.

Rowan

She taps on the bar, sees the morning rise, hits the highway burning tar, who needs her eyes . she knows what’s right, another line of her disguise , will just carry on, everyone says last night, but no one hears a sound, ask her to wait a while, if you could see the fright, that blinds her smile, they howl in ancient parts, time weighs heavy at night, wait for dawn to start, would you have the time, to say it’ll be alright, stop before she rides, make her see the light ?

Quincey

Who can ever say, we will warm our bones, when life is like today the picture is not kind, you can cry but don’t, around's not a pretty sight, thoughts get delayed, the same at any Front, when stuff is far from plain, like the harvest light, comes without trace of sound, it’s the living who cry, maybe I’ll take a train, find someone to love , if it comes this way, make my horizon bright, whatever else I’ve done, yes that’s the style, we're all far from home.
