Nova

I’m set to leave, my soul on a wire, please someone set me free, in his eye’s amour, he wants to do right, he knows the score, rocks me gently, says everything ‘s fine, don't worry baby, the hearts of lost hordes, all lay entwined, around on my floor, glamorous, perfect, serene, he kisses me quietly, does what others dream, a perfect troubador, have I just died, and loll on water adrift on the tide?

Maggie

Don't say too late, love’s not on your list, put on your skates, the earth hesitates, like it has a stitch, It’s not afraid, someone asks for change, who is paying this, it would be rude to say, spin on your plates, they want little bits, creepy by the door frame, working in this place, is like a launderette, spinning out my fate, my little smile migrates, to all the other misfits, who’ve never seen a wage, is something missing?

Luna

Why keep trouble at bay, all that requires, for problems just look away, they pester you for loans, your eyes seek the tide, wish you were alone, stumble in the haze, dampen all desire, no one’s so easy or brave, scared to your bones, they won’t call you a liar, or chase you with guns, ride the blue waves, like a cold fish knife, love replaces gain, why don't you 'phone, these candlelit nights, not easy to disown, a soul on fire

Kayla

It's quiet here now, after many year of greed, my face smooth as stone, can still see the place, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body’s like snow, swept across the turnpike, when it starts to blow, give me the name, where there’s serenity, not just on feast days, owls fly as silent souls, against a moonlit field, right upon my shoulder, geese honk on their way, late for the season, I'm just the same, can’t you see ?

Josephine

I still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, it all seems so far, happy he's not scarred, or left forlorn. I start the car, when he stamps the tar, like a toddler new born, he’s a fallen star, no wonder I switch off, he looks war-torn, apart from his heart, out of the Ark, not even sure, where he comes from, I can’t find a chart, that tells me the score', it’s gone too far, a trip to the park, an old shirt he’s worn, things fall apart, love has no form.

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.
