Odette

You drape all my needs, like seaweed on the bar, does salt brings serenity, blow all my pay, ask to fly away afar, what a terrible waste, you could be with me, not clinging to a bottle, it won’t set you free, you say its a different age, no one can play guitar, yet still you deliberate, I roll out my needs, to a warm hazy fog, return to childhood dreams, dancing on the waves, all the stuff you're not, you sit amongst the wreckage, love songs to the sea, carries too many scars, holy water is my drink, what's going on?

Nicky

Mornings I ask myself why, can we ever atone, pale my children’s eyes, might as well be Mars, all the fault they own, we're out that far, laugh within my sight, a wind black and cold, never is a good time, them and dogs I want, not to face it alone, but be happy and calm, when you hear me cry, running from a phone, just don’t sigh, sneer at another Da, to keep me at home, don't make this a war, how we'll end the fight, strain our yellow bones, keep me up all night, screaming growing old.

Maria

Wouldn't it be great, to forget how much we hurt, celebrate what remains, beat the times gone wrong, when rivers reach our skirts, catch in all our songs, I watch for your face, running through the dirt, save us from the rains, we'll just bumble along, laugh with all we've got, assert we're strong, fling our time away, betting who goes first, trains arrive week days, I’ll never let you down, take you for a Blurt, there's no need to frown, paint my lips ornate, put flowers on the cart, drink beer and whisky chasers, loving is our art.

Lellani

Stand by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, lakes, folded clothes in a pram, hear some muted song, you'd never ever say, I used to belong, better take a chance, seek to play this game, maybe do a dance, hope I’m not wrong, looking at the rain, stream on a lonely bar, wonder at the cost, shuffled hands contain, other wounds to lance, who will come along, say girl come this way, maybe get a pound, cigarettes a few laughs, drink cheap champagne, my life chances, blaze each new day.

Kaia

You won't see me pale, spit upon the dance, wait for someone's mail, play at being unusual, ask for kindness to pass, claim to be uncool, lift my voice to state, life's a game of chance, now you've come my way, I rage against the blues, sputter at a lonely past, make everything a feud, cry like a fighter, toughen my elan, push on down the highway, I know what to do, now create a stand, don't treat me as a fool, roll me over again, test your eyes for balance, say what you want to say, get another chance.

I toss away the years, every age has its dust, laughs and happy tears, no life is too short, believe in those you trust, within our toil of waters, you run like the deer, with a smell of musk, crowded bars draw you near, I knew you’d be caught, spinning dollars for a crust, nothing makes you overawed, what brought me here, bathed in a bridal flood, for you to be sincere, no book or district Court, hides the fact you're bust, it's not what I sought, you flame across my fears, transfer me some luck, hope before you disappear, in the lilac dusk.

Lit up like some ocean bar, within a hurricane zone, why lose forgotten laws, only fools pay their dues, let you drink alone, leave you here to stew, you can only go so far, before the lining shows, the suit falls apart, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, you turn the air Blue, hair matted like tar, luck reveal its bones, do you know how far, this trail you abused, so far away from home, now circles around you, yours' not a lucky star, to hit the right note, the reckoning of Karma, my tale of love jokes.
