Maya

Fire and evening light, won't make me read the news, save the long goodbye, escaping from that moan, they always sings Blues, in North or Southern tones, this village is my life, is always here to sooth, not lost on freeway nights, brings wisdom to my bones, accepts all I do, even to quietly atone, living here's a paradise, it brings a certain truth, celebrates an easy life, to shelter me at home, sticks to me like glue, far from being alone, cities are full of spite, life through locked windows, who needs super sight, to see who's fooling you?

Lily

Beat against my walls, throw salt at the rain, hover at infirmary's door, thank God for my home, you only bring shame, looking always to gloat, what are you good for, living life on a train, use only the local stores, at least try to atone, dance away my pain, blow kisses down the phone, you'll ship out the whores, make my face turn pale, Baby you'll roar, don't ask me any more, spinning out your games, no one needs your jaw, why always touch the bone, never want to say, love is always raw, face yourself again.

Kiara

Since you've gone away, i don't know what to do, but each night pray, laugh in a hurricane zone, see my face in pools, flying like a drone, don't trick me anyway, the sea surrounds your crew, are you on that plane, lead me to the foam, take me if you want to, not just as a loan, walls are turning grey, the sky is always blue, are you on the make, I want to go alone, not singing out my news, with your bag of stones, your eyes shine like jakes, look at me in truth, I'm risen that's the shame, far too good for you.

Jodie

My red lips flash ornate, in rooms where flowers grow, champagne cognac to chase, forget how much I blew, banish the need to know, I'll pawn all the jewels, won't be an ingrate, worry about the loans, celebrate what remains, I never once did sue, others who let me down, like larger parts of you, why worry with fallen gain, supper make do with bones, fish around in drains, believe me life's a ruse, dream of good days gone, waste no time on blues, wouldn't it be great, to belt it fresh anew, die laughing in the rain, feel you'll never lose.

Isabel

Hail a ship for France, say what you want to say, won't get another chance, don't let stages run untrue, if your life is framed, you're no fool, face the fact you're banned, if you let schemes fail, innocently look askance, tell you what to do, when others rail, try to make things smooth, why bother to prance, if evenings run dark pale, passion always passes, kindness might acrue, if you plan to sail, to some lonely purlieu, sliding down the scale, time has gone for dance, turn things around again, let us talk finance.

Hadley

We share jokes and put, hope risen to appear, like geese in the dusk, no one hires a clown, to be ushered in here, someone who lets us down, for those not fussed, we'll always give a cheer, one's we nearly lost, in our Ocean town, when the skies are clear, we'll sail the Sound, celebrate sunshine's thrust, he arrives like the deer, with a hint of musk, in hazy bars he's known, makes us forget fear, never on his own, we brush the falling tears, each night is a must, the laughs and happy years, howl before the dust.

Gloria

If I was on my toes around your fire, why be so morose, what is it you refuse, is me in that choir, my voice losing, another chance to show, balancing on strange wires, what I need to glow, now I'm just the fool, the one who enquires, who pays for these jewels, lessens pain more than now, exposes all the liars, by my age alone, blood is a smoky blue, why don’t you require, me to tell the truth, my God i look old, you don't need a sire, to say c'mon old bones, let's fix your tyres.
