It’s not a love of rain, a bird on the wire, that you rage against, shuffling in the gloom, waiting by the fire, no one’s here to tell you, many come this way, pester you for hire, they ask and ask again, to do what you do, your eyes a hidden fire, that dance forever blue, an offering to be made, old cars burn out tyres, this is where you live, forever someone’s due, quench each waking desire, nothing else is true, such miracles they crave, with the tongues of liars, betrayed by flames, you tickle a wooden bier.

Tony

Conceal the bitter news, take it to my grave, I'm back from the land of guns, drunk on borrowed goods, won’t be the same again, sat in a borrowed pew, a country dance I prayed.

Tony

That’s it folks for another month am sailing to the land of guns it’s no joke, wish me luck hop I don’t croak.

You stamp the tar, never bring good news, even with your car, the tip of your tones, bears messages from a few, lovers never dine alone, they don’t cross the arc, nor makes excuses, right from the off, who needs gall stones, someone says they knew, the way things will go, now it's gone too far, lipstick, the jeans you use, has anyone a heart. splutter down the ‘phone, rage like a fallen star, laugh at this fandango, smoke a Lucky Star.

Keira

Gamble everything away, don't care what you do, you can’t subject the age, to winter's iron jaw, there is no abuse, just a shallow maw, watch ships sail away, put every tool to use, to salt away your days, everyone’s sore, sad song's ring on cue, what treasure they hoard, blow smoke rings in the rain, pull every trick as ruse, it’s all such a game, sever love with a sword, no one really hates you, why make them roar, they’re not fooled.

Janice

Don’t try to separate, what’s buried deep inside, it’s only in the taste, what you want to eat, is beyond a common fry, singing life is never easy, your lips won’t fake, neither can they lie, stood before the magistrate, if you could only see, instead of trying to deny, stuff that sets you free, who needs all those opiates, vodka tonics citrus limes, they’ll kill you anyway, follow your own destiny, back to Louisiana some time, make the Ocean your sleeve, take in the sunshine.

India

How do you know, what makes you feel, if you live alone, that splintered smiley face, watered by the sea, people see it anyway, don’t have to borrow, to lock without a key, all the stuff that’s gone, why jump a ‘plane, gaze at mountain streams, when you want away, there’s nothing to bestow, from crazy instincts, or need to follow, don’t make a long tirade, live without a bean, just face each coming day, it’s never what it seems.
