Carly

Sing along on easter trains, sustain their lips of stone, don’t wonder why you came, forget what's on your mind, it’s all about the soul, you're not the lonely kind, their crying makes you say, this one's all your own, hands beseech your face, we won't take fright, throw ourselves some rope, guard the strays we find, roll against the grain, stay out here alone, who cares if we're freight, my tunes make them smile, now they’re far from home, it stems the fear inside, this railroad’s always late, all of life's a road, guide each along the way, just keep going.

Bella

Fed up with desperate news, steer a passage clear, nothing else will do, don’t carry heartache home, it will cost us dear, won’t say where we're going, nothing left to rue, allay different fears, ones I thought I knew, if this makes you groan, think what else is clear, why drag it all alone, there’ll be other rulers, visions comes with tears, golden domes confused, take another loan, dab perfume to my ears, on such paths we're born, food is not just fruel, prayers instead of beer, no need to be cruel, ride the bitter years

Amy

You laugh at stupid fate, glad you’re not dead, all you need's a crate, this is what I do, always stay ahead, smile like a bloomin'fool, know the latest rate, even from my bed, dopes are always late, get the kids to school, hint at little cred, no one sees me blue, I might carry weight, nothing you can’t shed, when it comes to taste, in a time of feuds, don’t need call the Feds, arrange another curfew, on cold grey days, I'll rest my head, won't hesitate to say, how's this dress ?

Zena

Lips twist like knives, he is not forgiving, darts the river light, so what else is new, no one bites when fishing, forgets our rendevous, my mother says stay wise, he needs to earn a living, watch out for little childs, but love is never smooth, tobacco blonde and slipping, maybe what she says is true, then again there's right, skinned alive when kissing, who wants to live a lie, always demands revenue, growls if I'm not giving, his eyes a topaz blue, fries me with that smile, deluded shocked by sinning, am sick of this guy, want a new beginning.

Yaretzi

Living life by drops, dismiss drink reasons, time you made a stop, words only grate, about lousy weasels, basking in your name, body laced with coughs, never just a wheeze, have to show who's boss, this is no child’s game, strung out on greed, where you say, I give up such a lot; but everyone squeezes, I'm the kitchen cloth, shouting at who's late, family feuds over deeds, fed up of holding sway, give it all to love, say you don't need, to ever give a toss, leave for the sea.

Winona

He hails when you come by, laughs and hugs the kids, asks the big why, you keep a cheerful tone, to do's on yellow lists, always on the go, his life starts to fry, searching what he's missed, some wait all their lives, others walk the stones, looking for a kiss, what they'd known before, forget the bitter times, all the stuff he’s tipped, gaze at days of tides, dreams he can’t postpone, always glad of a lift, say let him come home, whoever owns the night, astonished stars and mist, tell him don’t ask why, life is for the lived.

Vaani

Brilliant stones, sculpture your name, Spring's in full flow, you want to be free, this is some game, how to stay happy, dance on sprung floors, treat penury as fame, others will follow, taste salt by the sea, burst past the flames, it's what you believe, to love each home, make friends with each day, laugh when they go, jewels and glass pieces, not worthy of name, only sing for release, look to the morrow, when no one feels blame, wild as the Crow, fly into the rain.
