Zara

Love holds the door ajar, my hair falls down unkind, nowhere gets me very far, am pretty on a stool, drink a little wine, God knows I need a few, you ask about my Da, Oh he’s fine, stuck as usual at the Bar, the money he blew, within that sourball light, poured for another fool, cruising in her fast car, he jokes around her lies, thinks he's a real star, there’s nothing cool, about the hurt inside, except its part of you, wish i wasn't such a nark tears fall from my eyes, wonder why I'm scarred, staring at my time.

Xara Jane

I'm forever beat, even with a common air, hope rescues everything, have a lot of lovers but not much left in there, sometimes blame my mother, I need to shuffle up, heaven is a place to share, sometimes need a shove, when I’ve gone to seed, have a go at taking care, it's not easy being me, get dressed feel the rub, am never short of prayer, a signal to those above, I know how to keep, a house looking fair, drink is my sole conceit, fire brings out the tug, lovely faces dance on stairs, lamp lights shine with love, my smile sits everywhere.

Don't forget you're better, red lipstick on your lips, even if sticking together, you don’t live here to lose, blow on your fingertips, there's even more good news, love is not forever, even when you laugh and skip, time is all and never, kick off Monday’s shoes, roll in front of the mirror, always face the truth, nothing beats a conquest, give frustration the slip, an artist’s hope at best, who needs a little blue, you can paint like this, ideas dance in the studio, would you be lesser, if you stood there stripped, binned all his letters, wise in what you miss?

Viola

Don't bother to enquire, why we've been chosen, so much more to deny, laugh at all the crazes, they impose upon us, invoke stupid phrases, ask our favourite line, act as If well spoken, the world catches fire, wonder if we’re lazy, in work shirt and coat, sweet days of praying, they roll the usual lies, verify love's soaking, like clouds in the sky, work in furious phases, bow in cold endurance, ignore their disgraces, a flower lifts our smile, just some little token, makes life worthwhile, stand here unbroken.

Ully

If trouble's in your blood, in this place of whispers, who says it does no good, rivers you can name, don't need a chorus, they flow just the same, people say you should, be prepared for this, ignore them or go nuts, they'll find another way, to do what they insist, their knowledge very grave, maybe you need a hug, sail away without a ship, kiss rain in the dust, act like you're here again, speak for all of us, crush the middle distance, the Oceans know our name, say farewell to diagnosis, the worry in such limits, rise up little Sisters. .

Tina

We claim and duly swear, first to hit the spot, is one whose truth hurts, no drama or big cars, boring debts mounting cost, we’ll always dream afar, under a sun’s bright stare, the sidewalk lit with dots, no one thinks we care, anyone can make a mark, others fold the cards, who possesses easy charts, perfumed tables lay bare, we return from the lot, always have to share, danger hangs on a star, brighter than on any cop, burning up the tar, we'll always shed a tear, on streets sweaty and hot, we’ll defend our turf, it’s all we’ve got.

Shelby

Sober enough to ask why, the way that’s been chosen, before anything you deny, more a sombre space, your mouth frozen, tired of these phrases, sing your favourite lines, time's gone by with roses, it's better when you try, wave at all great stations, beyond life's hopeless, who gets shrunk or wasted, even when the sun shines, witness love's cloaking, more open than the sky, what settles on your face, goes beyond the broken, blows away such traces, a paper at your side, writer's little notebook, simply a wish to verify, what truth is spoken
