Queenie

Without a cent or Dime, i don't like who I've been, now I'm just fine, I've chewed on many bones, darkness filled my dreams, guilt would bring it home, first remedy is good wine, wear skirts below the knee, never mess with trash designs, had my dealinngs to atone, it never set me free,. forgiveness runs up my nose, just gather up my crimes, a gift to make serene, bale them with blue twine, pass to someone full of hope, like an angel from the sea, every day brings new scope, laughter's my sense of ease. I mean it this time, create my own third degree, I really have to try.

Patricia

The nurses sneer at jokes, more than say go home, skim our path with stones, i check the light again, wonder where we'll go, escape this awful rain, each week the wind blows, where we sleep in shadows, no one heeds the scarecrow, we listen for daily trains, hear their empty echoes, commuters circle our lanes, when sunlight heats the bones, we tend to swim below, pockets full of notes, the future's not to blame, it's a gambler's last throw, don't really feel the shame, fire burns at our toes.

Ollie

You say take me high, as if i am a plane, thank the great divine, all the blessings he bestows, come back again, know I'm better off alone, you've had your time, as if it's all a game, better not to lie, oh you're going home, where they feel the rain, a harbour where ships go, on that east coast side, they know about pain, when something's not right, your wrist around me slows, I smile and shake again, don't wait upon the flow, now you're on your way.

Nova

Don't talk the old ways, beg to understand, in harsh and stupid forays, irritance in your tone, sprinkling off your hands, too scared to be alone, a frightened path to trace , the giving of a chance, love don't hamper your days, somewhere in your bones, something wants to plan, forget the damage done, what's this show for anyway, you whistle out your chants, say my happiness is key, is this what you crave, shrug and measueew distance, all I need to stay, is rescued if you dance.

Melanie

Birds can't raise a tune, till they hear me moan, know I sing the Blues, sat in bars making bets, I pine for stools of gold, is this how good it gets, a match stick struck in ruin, my eyes sparkle and roam, how to please the room, I don't pay any rent, someone gives me loans, better than money spent, a dinky drop of moon, arrives through winter dawn, it's not the best Saloon, why let it make me fret, I''ll be back to own, it won't beat me yet, listen to my song.

Leah

I flutter ike a scarecrow, as dance comes upon me, imagine when the wind blows, don't need a cross to perch, my only demand is honesty, measure distance avoid lurch, sometimes worry how I know, thinking only of the seed, how its scattered and thrown, will it always hurt, never to go gently, the same is said in church, even if my hopes are torn, deep within directly, hope still fills my bones, much bigger than my shirt, put it down to destiny, this field amidst the dirt, saints pray quietly.

Kylie

She starts to gently croon, join me in my cradle, life goes by too soon, the difference is the dollar, she builds a spending frame, twirling sipping vodka, no note of impending doom, all my friends are sane, nothing to suggests ruin, who will feel her collar, they're now beyond shame, playing lottery rollovers, what passes for the truth, won't resist the rain, she ties to stays aloof, who among us is bothered, she cries the baby's name, laughs away her troubles, isnt it all a game ?
