Ginny

Was it worth the pain, beams bouncing in our room, smell of salt and grain, when now the springs groan, your face in dusky gloom, a solace or wrecked alone, useless as a home in shade, the shock of my perfume, brings me close to say, consult my lovely bones, play some radio tune, don't let me see you old, shall we greet the trains, escape the sourball blues, try to act constrained, beneath our song of hope, I'll wear again my costume, make you dance on stones, won't always be the same, me in this fancy trouve, not trying to refrain, what we chose as love.

Ursula

Cliffs climb like white cubes. smile scarce as scarecrows, a face our ancestors refused, subdued by your steady leap, you hurt us with your show, those dancing feet asleep, while looking for some truth, take theses hand and go, don't bend before the new, a knife wound is the sea, you're free to bestow, love to midnight’s teeming, smoke your last blues, by stars of May's Apollo, watch clouds race the moon, hold onto what you feel, return to warm our toes, sprinkle charms of oratory, learn what other know.

Tilly

Don't talk to us and pause, on banks where rivers widen, she’s still our daughter, we've heard your tales, how she hits the night, how you tried and failed, when she slams the door, still blazing from inside, what you said was raw, doesn't deserve such blame, life's not exactly Paradise, left beyond your pale, you know that we're poor, bring her a kinder time, not some lawyer's clause, from here we see your sails, on lovely beach held high, make her a home again, say you'll treat her right.

Stella

You list practised phrases, down a public telephone, massage your ravaged face, the arc of your concern, a lifetimes learning to moan, makes flame that never burns, luminous as the lace, that brightens on your clothes, who knows how a heart breaks, always free to discern, how linen sweetens with Cologne, an idea of where love churns, the gifts of a carapace, lift other's sacred bones, enbraces light from the place, take your time and learn, never go for broke, beyond all what you earn, stars don't shine alone.

Rory

Could you love me better, demand we save this earth, what is sent to test us, don't look aaway I whisper, do you think I’m scared, whatever your insistence, a few drinks and rest, what would you care, remind me of when's best, you’re no one's tipster, drink sourballs and declare, you're a regular listener, dont't expect me fly the nest, even if your eyes flare, when I wail comeuppance, that old environmentalist who said the world burns, but people won't listen, how your earth turns ?

Quiana

Will he clasp you now. make you drink more drink, show you where’s shadow, your eyes beat as fireflies, waltz you to the brink, floods this Sunday tide, a rocking of the boat, somehow breaks the links, about how far you'll go, sails unfurl and rise high, your golden tones shrink, you have always been wise, this friend now sits alone, what is he thinking, his laughter turns hollow, perhaps your new brightside, leads him from the rink, you're no one's easy ride, that's just how it is.

Penelope

She regards a shining sea, each rolled wave a trip, wonders about her feet, will they ever feel love, not knowing what to give, strokes them like kid gloves, bars fuel her sole conceit, every song shakes her hips, welcomes back how she feels, brown wooden tubs, their blond hearts stripped, stand close to the pub, when morning comes to greet, she dresses and skips, her own rhythm and beat, says a prayer to up above, paints her toes and lips, thinks of turtle doves, someone nice to kiss?
