My good parts, he firmly states, are your good heart, just look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything's here too soon, am cool but my eyes dart, say wouldn't it be great, to rise like a lark, go and live in Vera Cruz, he's poised but waits, doesn't want more bad news, psychiatrists for a start, play down this emotion game, pay him and sell the car, he'll be back soon, my lover smiles and hesitates, kisses me like a bruise, tears me apart, am the fool you say, to let you go so far, colour floods my face.

Gia

Don't need a shrink, a new lover somehow, gives me time to think, just what can be disposed, like a bar in town, sells buns off a barrow, see what you're thinking, but who needs to know, he's 20 years younger finks, a display on their frowns, contains what i've shown, informs them who is owed, dancing on the brink, though a whole summer furlough, gather glasses smile and blink, my politics golden rose, its enough to flop down, heat drips off the shadows, shall i drink more drink, will they ship me now, my face like an ice rink, a lousy dumb clown ?

Frankie

Things we fly away from, some won't make sunset, scattered sundered gone, my spirit's gifts are few, bring astonished wonder, mouth a whispered thank you, one of them sings C'mon, fight fire and distant thunder, show us why we run, among some unwashed crew, feel myself crumble, always listen to the news, what price this throng, beyond our daily jumble, hear just one lovely song, fighting bitter feuds, how the world slumbers, we taste an illicit brew, night winds sing forever, my arms hold my lover, on his sleeve chance number, my face a sweet mirror.

Elena

Why live in a haze, sheltered by the bins, smoking out of tje rain, best not to groan, burn a holy candle, life is only a loan, cheer up tell yourself again, scour the kitchen pans, mime your perfect phrases, wear to work best clothes, enjoy the contrast, you'll never be alone, make a step change, blow the last ten grand, explore love instead of trade, when someone moans, says no one understands, move out of that zone, let your world expand.

Dottie

Don't sing anyone's tunes, sit sadly on the wire, always pay your dues, life isn't a stone, to toss in the fire. you should not atone, whoever reads the news, ask who is for hire, acknowledge the doings, philosophers with tomes, may dessicTE desire, make someplace your home, read all the books, they'LL always inspire, but never overlook, that little piece of truth, why be a denier, love your jeans and Blues, each little bit of you, in case some Dude enquires, is not up for ruin, why be a liar?

Carmen

What you hold consistent, remains having flings, swallow up resistance, your search for true breeze, one that provides the tingle, joins songs of the free, do you fear my persistence, an assembly of jingles, sometimes you can kiss, my collection of pieces, ones i've learned to dangle, when you smell the sea, will you stand faceless, each time finingle, when winds ease your promise, you can laugh guiltless, instead of some ring, to circle the blue Ithmus, turn sunlight into vista, why you dance and mingle, but come back to us, all my blown wishess, across tidal wood and shingle, is only what i'd miss, if you remained single?

Billie

Drunk enough to ask why, accept I've been chosen, before any of you deny, laugh at all my crazes, what I try to provoke, with stupid phrases, sing instead my favourite lines, our time goes by unspoken, except what heaven's supplied, blown away all my traces, neither shied away nor coaxed, these wonderful days, with you by my side, to verify love's soaking, no cloud sails the sky, what settles on our faces, makes us laugh at cold bones, before you pack the cases, a flower at my side, just some little token, more than any pride, we are far from broken.
