Oaklee

You scream the news, in troubled nights, to everyone you knew, sung to the different bums, left hanging on the line, once you loved then let run, sounds like lose this crew, don't come easy you cry, avoid as they look at you, not just me you shunned, swimming against the tide, you left all of us done. no matter who you use, however hard you try, you are not immune, who cares what is numbed, something deep inside, shines beyond my love, who will sing your blues, clouds fill the sky, death brings no easy due, never a good sign. .

Nula

Bellow I;ve been betrayed, rage at bitter holy things, take them to my grave, can't afford the Blues, where everyone just clings, and debts arrive on cue, what a sound they make, a curdled breast to living, who knows how they'll shake, smoke cigarettes in the room, when called upon to bring, honey to kid's sugar hoops, watch ships glide the bay, do you really want to fling, salt on all this heartache, a child brand new, wants to laugh at everything, even if it isn't true, don’t gamble all and say, love to me is nothing, can’t cheat a turning page, find me a place to sing.

Margy

I’ll bet you know what, how people feel shame, caught in all their traps, hang onto every sap the jilted smile's stain, they catch in every drop, garnere in every slop t've tried it every way, take your time to cough, those nights on the tap, flying on a mercy craze, who needs another slap, huddled under burlap, hear the pouring rain, drink begets no chat, from others just as daft, life's no picture frame, we're a long time cast, to live without a compass, the dread uncertain forays, what you did was mad, fear where life is mapped, gets worse day to day, nothing more invites collapse, I didn't do all that, but suffered just the same, took all the useles crap, I'd do it all again. .

Laura

Please let me know, what people feel, deep in their bones, this smile's a strain, hangs on every tree, I put on every day, take your time right now, nights without mercy, will never make me glow, stand in the pouring rain, peer in mountain streams, who would want my fate, I've nothing to bestow, absolved by crazy schemes, my life's no picture show, hair is out of place, to live without a team, wake each mourning afraid, what I did was wrong, can see how I've been, i need to warm my toes, the river always gleams.

Kathy

I still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, all the money gone, happy not badly scarred, or left forlorn. I start the car, when he stamps the tar, like a newborn, he’s a fallen star, can't understand what's done looking war-torn, I switch off, he's not a clerk, not even sure, where’s his great heart, can’t find that chart, my son knows the score', it’s gone too far, a trip to his mother's, ripped shirts he’s worn, things fall apart, love has no form

Jane

It's quiet here now, after fifty years of seed, my face cast in stone, can still see the cave, where praise be, I hope to be laid, my body under snow, back to the country, where comes the big blow, gave me this place, to encourage serenity, he knew about feast days, geese with barren tones, flap the air above me, high on my shoulders, sing in their own way, late for the season, I'm just the same, in the blue dawn, wrapped so I'd freeze, in my hands a rose, the old loving need.

Irene

Don't say I’m too late, that love doesn't exist, tell me get your skates, the earth rotates, like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone asks for change, who is paying benefits, it'd be a cheek to pay, mister go spin your plate, want to hear my business, stay in your door frame, working in this place, it's like a aunderette, spinning out my fate, a little smile migrates, to all the other misfits, who’ve nevet seen a wage, forgive my lack of grace, when you figure it, I'm always blasting out, something’s missing.
