Willa

Babies drive me crazy, I accept their stern cheer, reminds me of the cradle, break a house of stones, an avenues of tears, walking wear different clothes, my love is beyond trade, handled without fear, a good girl these days, long journey's to the coast, nothing is too dear, except the way I flow, kids're never a game, let's make it clear, every nightmare comes with flames, I don't need a sideshow, to combat the fear, it's part of whats given, these turbulent years.

Valerie

Draw shadows against the boats, selight in falling rain, it shocks me I'm broke, should be no news really, echoes of a bursting suitcase, ends another holiday, St Anthony’s quay has shown, loss carries no certainty, when you need a loan, mist across the inland sea, buses groan at the station, they thrum a sad soliloquy. I hate to beg and moan, now we're just company, but can't we just carry on, If we mark the peace, with shades of new territory, we can get some release, beyond the cafe's.

Uma

I paint like Marcel Duchamp, and walk with weary gait, feel my socks they're damp, bring cognac to my table, steaming dishes by measured pace, fated my broken frame, am no picture to look upon, swaying like a crane, just want my work shown, on winter's days, unshaven waiters in cafes, often see me faint, men before me are calm, with buttered hair in strains, say c'mon c'mon, is love just a game, canvas is the stuff I crave, museums wear a lonely face, will they hang my name ?

When you see a shining star, does it make you weep, shows you just how far, children and dogs, can set you free, make you better than you are, in a warm hazy fog, you blunder to succeed like being shipped to Mars, let me cross that bar, upset the sea of tranquillity, give me all i want, and if they can't, forget the Ferrari, i'll make do with the box, bless water in my font, make all my fires decrease, inform me what's going on, I'm like someone from afar, watching flowers grow gently, music by The Mighty Wwah, it scatters all my needs.

Sophia

Living here's no paradise, it never makes the news, this suburb isn’t nice, but it could be great, sand and sea like perfume, stardust on our plate, all we need's a better try, show what we can do, save us from unholy spite, our songs will resonate, ringing out the shoo shoo, won't find a better place, this district is our life, what it holds is true, naked sodium lights, won’t stop us to create, singing our good news, we're far from debilitate, give us these Spring nights, where we live anew, even the days we might, fly the chicken coup.

Riley

Since you've been away, we don't know what to do, but each night pray, you break some maddened stone, say it’s all you can do, no one keeps you home, sleep this time of day, hear you in the bathroom, nothing more to say, why you have to go, always playing the fool, laughing down the 'phone, the walls have turned grey, smoking's not your ruin, you've eaten all your cake, we're the ones alone, what is left for truth, fresh as April snow, you see the creep of moon.

Quincey

The one of you I knew, when time was short, would rage at these Blues, in this consumer light, you live without a phone, it doesn't make you wise, nothing gives a clue, no print or written tome, what you're going to do, they all know your right, who gives its best to go, with the cards so slight, you'll never be a fool, to take on others moans, push against their rules, pictures i have of you, wouldn't let condone, all the stuff we rue, you say baby show'em.
