It’s around this time, my mother comes, always with a different sigh, asks why no one 'fones, no matter what they’ve done, would it cut their throats, a fertile ring of chimes, takes account of being glum, she enjoys family crises, never arrives alone, wants to have some fun, brings some beat or showman, it’s me who has to shine, pleading c’mon mum, nerves before a climb, it nourishes her bones, to beat the little drum, upset is all she knows, cruel to be kind, she won't waste a crumb, a forever moaning child,' now she's gone ?

Calista

You stretch our sunny days, smile an absent dream, now you're on your way, don’t bring us bad news, like a losing team, say what we have to do, we're listening in the rain, down by the Slate quays, want to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to please, why play by broken rules, we’ll work and save, give whatever you need, won't hear of your wails, the lovers mistook, on your mad schemes, now you're all cool, we're melting away, a burned out empty feeling, you sip tea and cakes, is this how it seems ?

Bonnie

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, let others wonder why, consult with holy stones, listen to their tales, when you grasp alone, study these battered times, all of its a trial, ride again the bycycle, forget having to atone, if lovers wail, you're far from home, sail kites to the sky, think of road and rail, leave to all on high, take tea like Mrs Jones, discard desolate mail, throw yourself a bone, doesn't hurt to try, laugh on lonely trails, always be a butterfly, dancing never fails.

Anna

Her manner never cool, many a life she’d shout, has been unlistened to, crashing like the sea, an artist on the lookout, she’s still pretty green, doesn’t need a muse, creates what's all about, won't suffer fools, she walks down the street, give you anything she has, throws anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, hasn't been to art school, instead a loving need, those who haven't got, brings a sense of ease, provides our daily laughs, smiles as warm as toast, will always want to ask, how is your soul?

Zoe

Rain broken afternoon, offers no insight, or makes me look cool, here in this game, a race for my life, wonder who holds the reins, I act like a fool, peparing what's right, must stop what am doing, now the eyes feel pain, my head's like a firefly, how did it get this way, it all seems so futile, I'm wasting my time, my face a lost duel, then someone brings wine, says let's party again, make for the beeline, won't ask for new shoes, jump in the fire, dance like a mule, scream until bedtime.

Zaylee

I'm never a girl, who curses and blasts, my mind in a whirl, a face like a stone, I'm built to last, best that you count on, don't treat me with furs, are all men trapped, want me in shiny skirts, I'll waltz like a ghost, dance until collapse, my lies are my own, your head's in a twirl, any present will pass, my prayers are always fair, why cry at the doorpost, drink green tea aghast, ask what I want most, please turn the flame down, if you cook with gas, say your heart's unfurled, avoid any crash.

Yara

Does what you can't find, make you think again, crack open the blinds, it's not worth it alone, there's too much pain, stay close to your own, you'll soon hear of me, standing in the rain, saying everything's fine, drenched to the bone, are you house trained in your torn worn clothes, why try to disguise, each day brings a claim, it adds to the distance, don't trust telephones, shall we play at games, love's got no real home, just stay here tonight, instead of a fast train, then leave at first light, we'll meet again.
