Elodie

Do you think I'm beat, perhaps with a common air, you can rescue everything, if love’s the game, heaven’s a place to share, with my good name, try my depths of need, relinquish taking care, it's not easy being me, getting here’s insane, never short of treasure, astride the shipping lanes, I know how to keep, a wooden face on stairs, bars are my sole conceit, everyone I tame, can usually find me there, even without chains, will anyone see, the gaps between my shirt, eyes lit like kerosene, my breath elsewhere?

Davina

Is this how you imitiate, your inventive best, when you twist and shake, open every door, to level your fences, wake up sore, fuelled by what you make, time like all the rest, doesn't hesitate, fools sing for applause, faith brings a test, two and two is more, each nights cool probate, scatters your innocence, costs you to conflate, the worthless poor, who ask for your presence, like dust on the floor, in your search for gain, is each task tended, don’t send them away, you'll need friends.

Cherie

Is water in your blood, in this house of whispers, does it do any good, places you might claim, don't need a chorus, blossom along the freeway, Oh you're misunderstood, not for you my bonus, be prepared for trouble, hire another brain, tunnel what time insists, laughter follows pain, maybe you need a tug, sail away without a ship, when your dreams are dust, search for love again, tread the middle distance, never bow to shame. balance on the tidal flood, ride above the fuss, go beyond the crumbs, plenty is in all of us.

Bianca

You'll pay a heavy score, my face is savage blue, love is swollen raw, without a sense of ease, am always in your Queue, you never do say please, don't outline some shore, sitting in the gloom, a footfall for your cause, often when we meet, no one hears good news, someone sometimes screams, I knock on lonely doors, turn my life askew, sweating furious pause, why shout and swear at me, spitting out your spume, only a fool would heed, as you rage and roar, you'll never be my glue, I have other mores, am already over you.

Ainsley

Forget these clowns, who come to woo you, so many without a plan, as loud as your woes, ships blow their hooters, songs sing of home, not what's in your gown, that makes them swoon, it goes beyond your tan, you don't need a throne, in bars where they're shoeless, you'd rather be gone, nothing’s ever by chance, your eyes are reduced, everything comes to pass, barefoot you raise a glass, shameless eyes on view, face your countenance, strange these ocean towns, these faded boozers, no sign of your crown, only faces and losers.

Zina

Will you let me know, how others feel, if it's in your bones, my jilted smile's strange, hangs like mist on trees, they see it every day, take your time right now, forget my nights of reels, the river always flows, embrace the pouring rain, laugh in mountain streams, I sing in hopes of praise, you've nothing to bestow, free from crazy schemes, life is our picture show, too long to be a saint, living without a dream, face down dread uncertainty, what you did was wrong, but I see how you've been, replace it with a song, you can join my team.

Xochiti

Bellow at dreams betrayed, conceal bitter unholy things, take them to your grave, you cant afford the Blues, where everything just sinks, heavy notes end on cue, what a sound they make, a curdled love to everything, who will know your fate, smoke cigarettes in the dunes, when called upon to prate, life is just a hula-hoop, it rolls around your days, you really want to fling, salt at heartaches far away, but here's someone brand new, laughs at toys that ring, knows what isn't true, don’t gamble all and say, love to me is nothing, you can’t cheat the age, find a place to sing.
