I won't leave you alone, know each move you make, even if you lie entombed, believe it if you must, I'm sick of this place, sat here gathering dust, enough for it to show , what a lousy disgrace, you are in your bones, call it another loss, looked at this way, memories cover every cost, porous as a honeycomb, I'm the one who delays, trips to the paupers yard, face what you haven't got, nothing's left to take, no matter what you want, promises on Blue notes, stamp them on your stone, just a bum on the make, I'll still bring you home.

Ivy

You can swear and blow, say it's too late, just make your way home, I'll fix some soup, won't think about fate when next rent's due, you're a rolling stone, always planning escape, sweating on the dice roll, you better come soon, before everythings changse, I might wake and coo, too close to the zone, my love comes with grace, but not on its own, always plenty left to do, withstand others gaze, who cares about looks, no knife's to my throat, why need to explain you'll always need loans, I celebrate this way.

Helena

Please don't make me sign, fading stars are nothing new, between the moon and sky, I enjoy being hailed, instead of merely duped, within a sea of nails, don’t say it's all right, to flush money down sewers, better give arsenic a try, is it my night sails, my song that surrounds you, breathe sweetly my oblate, you’ll soon face the tides, lost suddenly from view, when you’re up this high, it’s not me you persuade, like other fools, laughter turns them crude, velvet dreams by night, they certify my dues, range this ocean wide, brings me back to you.

Gigi

Wouldn't it be great, to dance on fallen snow, say Christmas is here again, sadly it's not a ruse, a famous night that’s gone, what we've got to lose, don't worry about gain, at supper ask for bones, they will find us grain, forget it is our due, dispense a need for show, serve our party gruel, we’ll always walk in grace, spit upon the loans, consider what remains, we can never choose, when we’re up or down, how we burn our fuel, only here to celebrate, deeds where loving grows, champagne cognac don't be late, will we ever know ?

Faye

My vision arrives too late, it's not easy to believe, what it has to say, rolling within my thunder, exploded like a tree, lost in moans to numbers, you'll find out one day, when you see me keep, plans you’d thrown away, my mind's without clutter, I hardly need to screech, what is love from you, won’t stand in your way, fix your cowards retreat, know its for your fate, it makes me wonder, births, marriage,wreaths, who splits who asunder, memories of your face, are so easy to read, poetry of futile names, am glad to be free.

Elly

Smouldering like a star, chasing numbers, leaving doors ajar, she's a different calendar her boss says 'i wonder', isn't that a great heart, then she buys a car, makes it her trouble, it won't go far, right from the off, bewildered, her tears flood the bar, ten years later, we still hear her laughter, she doesn't do parts, now from a false start. surrendered, her lipstick stark, love always hungers.

Davina

In a supermarket yard, her lovely face washed, by rain and river salt, dressed always decent, her trolley for a brush, she looks at their blankets, lost spirits without spark, they lie here to rest, it's a rare clerk, who won't get upset, put to the test, pitying their tents, life here is stark, in ways that they forage, then rage like storks, think only of the present, tear at their crusts, make out for the best, last in some chart, if life is a sequence, she gives them her heart, stops for the vagrants.
