Quenna

How can you identify, which common spore, lies between earth and sky, what has been forced, on this Spring tide, when truth is sought, don't need an inquiry, to witness the crime, when it gets buried, you know the score, during black night, ones who laugh like horses, others drink whisky, and talk of hard lives, it makes them happy, if all ends in nought, you don’t need a wife, to polish the floor, security lighs, pool over our doors, at Easter's first sighting, who raises the poor ?

Living here's no paradise, never makes the news, so hard to be nice, might as well be space, people here like glue, stuck to a lunar landscape, everyone needs a better life, show what they can do, escape from all the spite, one song still remains, a feeling far from nrw, longs for constant states, this place is our life, shaping something to lose, beneath two sodium lights, what it is to dissipate, that tune within our blood, throws every payment late, brings us sassy nights, when we escape the truth, better that we lie, laughing at our blues.

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.

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.
