Is this how we stimulate, our inventive best, when we twist and shake, prise every back door, to mend our fences, if we'll wake up sore, fuelled in what we take, is our life a test, little time to calibrate, fools sing for applause, we just want some rest, lead us off this floor, the night's cool probate, scatters our truculence, can agonised stars relate, pity the wandering poor, why ask for pennance, we could do much more, than show our ignorance.

If water's in the blood, in this house of whispers, who says it does no good, places you want to claim, don't come without risk, I'll sing my song anyway, dilute the time gone bust, grab at all of this, let me seek his trust, take another train, do what love insists, knowledge is always gain, maybe I need a tug, to sail without a ship, mouth bitter as dust, search for salt again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame, the ocean always gives.

Kamila

You'll pay a heavy score, my eyes are savage blue, love is a running sore, my sense of ease, lies always in the gloom, you never did say please, I’m not just a whore, sat here dressed for you, a football to your cause, it’s worse on the street, no one brings good news, silence if someone screams, I hack at lonely chores, turn my life askew, sweat in a furious pause, why shout and swear at me, giving out your spume, only fools don’t see, my need rid of you.

Janey

Forget all these clowns, that come to woo you, many without a sound, as loud as my woes, ships blow their hooters, everyone sings of home, it's not just my gowns, that makes sailors swoon, but the very how, I glide about the floor, among shipwrecks and schooners, would rather be alone, nothing’s quite like calm, when party eyes look ruined, everything has a charm, am not on my bones, in Ocean faded boozers, not about to stormw, when midnight comes

I still hear Granpa, laughing like a foghorn, it all seems so far, happy he's not alone, or left forlorn. I put down the 'phone, like a toddler's spark, he’s a rising star, with a new partner now, apart from his heart, that's out of the Ark, the Pacemaker's not sure, where does it comes from, I can’t find a chart, that says he's 81, whatever thinks Grandma, a trip to the park, in old shirts he's worn, is it life's tome, when things fall apart, love has no form, but just carries on ?

Hayley

It's quiet here now, after many year of greed, my face smooth as stone, can still see the place, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body’s like snow, roses rustle the turnpike, when it starts to blow, give me the name, where lies serenity, not just on feast days, owls fly as silent souls, against a moonlit field, rest upon my shoulder, geese honk on their way, late for the season, I'm just the same, where is me ?

Why keep trouble at bay, if all you require, to mwelt problems away, is pester me for loans, your eyes seek the tide, wish you were alone, I stumble in the haze, search for some desire, make out I'm brave, scared to your bones, they call you samall fry, may chase you with guns, you want to escape, scissor out your wife, she's the one who saves, and wishes to expose, these candlelit nights, then leave on her own, yo seek out the light.
