Whitney

Don't make a fuss, they carry yellow lists, do not try to love, hearts ruled by stone, where do you fit, a place they call home, if you need a crust, be prepared for this, believe me you're dust, go to shed the load, drag on get a grip, knowledge never eats alone, hide the semell of musk, refuse the middle distance, alter all they insist, quietly leave this road, leave them here in bits, bullies never hear groans, in a house of misfits.

Vida

The wind blows silent, across our fences, uncaring who it caresses, starts in darkened cellars, casts it own spell, scent of the mad jealous, does it salute us, a candle to a friend, what brings us the fire, across our barren lands, nothing is more relative, to know where we stand, will the world recognise, our fight to the end, face down men's surprises, we carry magic letters, pretend fear has no smell, tell everyone remind us, we're better than them.

Ully

Smoking a cigarette , a lover's old face appears, fulsome not lonely yet, geese rise and hail, autunm skies without fear, unlike seasons we failed, a cold water flatlet, he always cheered, to make it the very best, the colours of his sail, no-one could get near, he really had me nailed, a man who wouldn’t let, flame fold into fear, who shared jokes and bets, but worried by the claims, brought him back here, he thought he couldn’t fail, I had to be crystal clear..

Theresa

She hears a strange whisper, the sound of a removal van, thinks of all her sisters, each move smoother now, no one faults her tan, in every room she’s known, wears a plastic hair clip, bars are full of men, happy off their last trip, they rise like supernova, walks the streets with them, among sea green clover, barefoot prays for hips, her dancing days are done, will miss the Tango dips, rather than having fun, to find this new drum, wonders if she’s driven, if he'll ever come ?

Sophie

The track is midnight blue, her smile doesn’t show, what has been refused, strangled by swaying men, she'll flash a lovely No, a dancing smile at best, she doesn't need to choose, to take their tales and show, the scarred lands of truth, that look is the test, she's young and free to bestow, what others try at best, the train and its crew, travel like the crow, outside there is a moon, warm themselves at rest, frost rims the windows, she knows failure or success, love won’t make her yellow.

Rachel

Do you want me like this, am I just your shout, who doesn’t need to exist, powdered lightly you emerge, shadows dance on your mouth, the fragrance of cold purges, some play at being missed, those who like the South, all day you fuss and twist, why flaunt a constant dirge, be waylaid by touts, I have gone beyond hurt, and you my sister, a coquette with every pout, who refuse me any kiss, a singer of great splurges, lovers bite their fists, waters part and merge, am I to be dismissed ? .

Queen

Absolved of troubles, we've wrapped in time, he passes me a double, uncertainty arrested, glad we’re still alive, my whiskey flows West, delivery testimony cuddled, love glows on the line, hangs on flowery pillows, believe me a life selected, is the stuff of wine, many evenings requested, poets speak of rivers, lime trees, water, moonrise, life unfolds in pictures, nothing but a treasure chest, the sea looks to revive, always at our best, when the sun declines.
