Isobel

Forget all these clowns, that come to woo you, many without a sound, as loud as her woes, ships blow their hooters, everyone sings of home, not just the gowns, that makes them swoon, but your very bones, you glide without a throne, among shipwrecks and schooners, she'd rather be alone, nothing’s quite like calm, those eyes look ruined, everything needs some charm, try to raise the tone, among faded boozers, the only thing on show, in this ocean town.

Hesta

You'll pay a heavy score, my eyes are savage blue, love is a running sore, no sense of ease, always in your room, you never do say please, I’m not just a whore, sat here in the gloom, a footfall for your cause, it’s bad on this street, no one hears good news, even when they scream, I hack at lousy chores, turn my life askew, sweat in furious pause, why shout and swear at me, spitting out your spume, only fools don’t heed, I’m already over you.

Gina

Is it water to blood, in this house of whispers, who says it does no good, places you want to claim, don't need a risk, to sing along the highway, diluted by time go bust, be prepared for this leave someone here a bonus, take another train, don’t do what time insists, knowledge is always gain, maybe you need a tug, to sail without a ship, when rain feels like dust, search for love again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame, an Ocean never quits.

Fizz

Is this how we stimulate, our inventive best, when we twist and shake, open every door, to mend our fences, wake up sore, fuelled with what we take, like it’s a test, we won’t hesitate, fools sing for applause, we just want some rest, take me off this floor, the night's cool probate, scatters my innocence, how does it relate, to the wandering poor, who ask for our presence, lend us their torches, make us new friends.

Elena

Is this really the case, to ask for reasons why, his place of shame, glazed by loss and show, he beats out his time, nowhere else to go, soaked on an swampy main, desolate in his cry, he always tries to detail, what I need to know, no longer beats the sky, wooden box or one-way blow, when he jumps jail, boxcar irons safe to climb, he says it can’t fail, his lips won’t go, near his sweetheart’s ties, witness the gentle furrow, no easy way to fake, what hurts him deep inside, takes it to his grave, eyes open wide.

Darcy

Sometimes when I’m beat dancing in the common air, I think to rescue everything, love’s the same, heaven is a place to share, with my good name, in the depths of need, I’ll have a go at taking care, it's not easy being free, forgetting the game, you’ll always find me here, whether it's up the lane, I know how to keep, a wooden face on stairs, bars where I wet my feet, anyone can feel lame, go mouldy on hard chairs, maybe the use of chains, I won’t go there.

Clarisse

They say get a grip, falling off the rails, let another lifetime slip, don't need drugs to pray, sooth my bones, my quest never goes away, juicers have surly lips, manacled by wretched homes, others take a coin and flip, tired jokes and spirits crave, on 49 different time zones, lies in everything they say, it makes the eyes dip, cheeks ringed by hollows, wonder if you’ll make the trip won’t know how to sleep, if I can act grown, when faith takes a leap, the only way to go.
