Emily

How do you know, what people feel, in their bones, your loving smile is great, weathered by the streams, it’s noted anyway, take the time right now, unlock without a key, your luminous glow, you don't need the rain, life’s never what it seems, when you arrive by train, you’ve everything to bestow, dancing little dreams, your moving picture show, is not so far away, now then live by schemes, chase each coming day, won’t have to borrow, or say where you've been, before your fame grows, conduct yourself simply.

How do you know, what people feel, in their bones, your loving smile is great, weathered by the streams, it’s noted anyway, take the time right now, unlock without a key, your luminous glow, why seek the rain, life’s never what it seems, when you can catch a train, you’ve everything to bestow, dancing little dreams, your moving picture show, is not so far away, now then live by schemes, chase each coming day, won’t have to borrow, or say where you've been, before your fame grows, you’ll know who to see.

No one’s out for gain, everyone is sent, why bother feeling pain, geting sore, help your neighbour’s fence, fix their front door, no matter what it takes, always give presents, to ungrateful ‘probates, only fools sing for applause, get drunk like the rest, but you know the score, no need to remonstrate, to bring out our best, cooler than a milk shake, two and two make four, you scatter our defences, never ask for more, will you be our friend ?

When you start to say, shall we dance alone, please ask a little later, throw salt on the fire, don't use your ‘phone, you’re not a liar, make lightning seconds delay, it's lonely on stones, our Iliad’s away, cows are in their biers, these boulders rough-hewn, calms all desires, give us back our day, not some rag and bone, can they hear us pray, we are like Sapphires, whose sparkle once shone, draw air to the pyre, we need a break, our jangled chromosomes, won't jiggle or flake, waltz our way home.

Bonny

Each laugh makes me a liar, will he see, the lines between my hair, sometimes just a little shove, makes heaven easy to be, even if you’re not tough, awful places make bad affairs, they still let me dream, no one kids me there, get dressed I need a hug, what about my teeth, grace comes shining from above, act like I don't care, scrubbed sparkling clean, I swing through the air, who will be my new love, he might rescue everything, the tide rises in flood, when evening turns green.

Annie

I used to be fine, drinking alone, dancing in wine, no need for weak tea, ladled humour lachrymose, jokes were my repartee, now what do I find, a house full of groans, running to be kind, the rain starts to ease, do you still carry stones, stilling that uncertainty, dumb when it’s tight, won’t use answer’ phones, everything on your side, I still need to believe, what used to be so, when we all dreamed, where is the line, that you cross going home, the stuff bathed in time, is that all gone?

Who will break your news, struggling to escape, all the stuff you blew, no horizon's bright, if your mark’s a stain, think you're always right, don’t make life a curfew, be frightened of the waves, knowing what they can do, it’s nearly the time, to hear a donkey bray, you sit by the fire, before sunrise is due, let your tears seep away, it’s all up to you, ever wondered why, people pine for the day, after long silent nights, if your groans are true, a fortune comes your way, rain falls on the roof, let if fall OK.
