My ma stamps the tar, she crumbles, when Da buys the car, no pine needles or hay, he sings for a lover, home or away, screams he's crossed the arc, makes light of ours trouble, he's bad from the off, dancing on red tables, strewn with candles guttering, constant embers of his craving, he's ruined her heart, I say get shut, this is only the start, his crisis not far away, and love always hungers, within sight of his gaze I still see him now, beaming like a juggler, just have him barred, his name is trouble.

Jessica

I won't leave you alone, it's a disgrace, to throw away my loans, Oh do it if you must, let's leave this place, we're here gathering dust, is it enough just gone, to leave a nasty taste, steer me away from home, there's another trust, you can make out a case, put jelly on my bones, I don't buy this honeycomb, for a woman who shakes, stands brave at the Court, can't abide what I've lost, it's not something fake, my mouth tastes of wood, sing me a Blue note, I'm not a stepping stone, know it's me you love, if not for long.

Please don't identify, make stars break the news, between the moon and sky, you could enjoy the view, instead of being cruel, when you're up this high, don't say it's your right, throw fireworks in the sewer, give lightning drink a try, could you race the tides, without such fuel, save anger for wedding nights, put it out of sight, rage at some other fool, choke on pale candlelight, you've split communities wide, laughing at their feuds, juggle love in your eyes, smell my perfume, I'll whisper a tune for you, make you dance on wire, this is what I do.

Helena

Wouldn't it be great, to fall like fresh snow, bathe in gentle rain, tell me what's the news, dreams of last night's show, leave out homesick blues, don't worry about gain, at supper ask for bones, we'll stumble how to pay, forget how much we drew, or the need to show, what is paid in dues, beleave us in our state, spread mercy on the loans, calibrate the remains, we will never lose, say we've been let go, it's only what we do, my ear rings hang ornate, in rooms where flowers grow, find some drink to chase, looking like a ghost.

Gigi

My calling comes too late, it's not easy to squeeze, thoughts I need to say, you recoil at my thunder, waved away like a breeze, lost in luck or numbers, you'll find out one day, when you'll want to keep, all my plans degenerate, its a life uncluttered, my insides screech, who needs this love, I'm not cut out this way, to beat a cowards retreat, will face each living day, if it makes you wonder, stones, graves, wreaths, its me who's talking remember, memories are all we make, I'm not so easy to please, my perfume fires your trace, it hides a conceit.

Flora

I'm not first in line, to think your're a fool, pass me that wine, you shake your car keys, like someone stupid, pretend you're an Odyssey, that stretch inside, you thought so crude, hasn't sharpened your mind, say you don't do easy, why disguise the truth , you won't shoot the breeze, wear your latest designs, if you feel like a Dude, another turn of the dice, now you look to me, submerged in deep doo doo, as if no one else sees, gone is the time, i'll act like a mule, your life'e the real crime, so out of tune.

Eileen

When I say 'screw you', to make my troubles light, there's plenty more to do, all of us die intestate, however much we lie, throwing venom at our mates, come to think it through, your eyes betray terrible signs, a frightened fear of truth, fire burns in the grate, don't tell me how to cry, anchors weigh your sea case, no one is immune, only life makes us wise, I'm no longer duped, wouldn't it be great, to feel a love inside, instead of all this rage, your ship's beyond the dunes, waiting on the tide, better get moving, I'm done with trying.
