Zoe
You scream your news,
in troubled nights,
act as if you knew,
all the different songs,
left hanging out to dry,
you let loose and gone,
fire burns up the flue,
don't tell me how to cry,
even in summer's womb, ,
not me who's crocked,
swimming against the tide,
losing everything lost,
no matter what you use,
however hard you try,
no one's left immune,
don't care what's locked,
somewhere deep inside,
you're beyond my shock,
won't hit the blues,
clouds furl the sky,
death's no easy virtue,
even when you die.

You won't forge a trail,
anyone asks me to dance,
turns the evening pale,
always play the fool,
seek kindness the last,
no path is too smooth,
nothing more to say,
except hold that glance,
how d'ye feel today,
rage against the news,
fake as a bitter repast,
my eyes set on you,
life is finely weighted,
the past often crammed,
with useless information, ,
what you must never do,
let others take a stance,
on behalf of you,
whirl me 'round again,
test me out for balance,
say what needs to say,
you'll get a chance.

Am all set to release,
my soul strung ON fire,
you'd better believe,
in your eyes amour,
you know what's right,
tell me the score,
just rock me gently,
say everything‘s alright,
don't worry baby,
your heart is my cause,
bound tightly,
it calls out for more,
perfect and serene ,
you extract quietly,
what others have dreamed,
a simple likeness,
have I just screamed,
toiling adrift on tides,
a star across the sea,
I belong to the night,
let me touch eternity,
this is my time.

Willow
Standing by an unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
home is my old stamp,
listening to a muted song,
who would ever negate,
the need to belong,
better take a chance,
I can play this game,
sometimes good to prance,
hope am not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream down a wooden bar,
ask me to choose a path,
I'll shuffle what remains,
don't need wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
maybe who looks OK,
fill up my loose pockets,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer sipped like champagne,
I'll make life dance,
always look to change.
Valerie
Wouldn't it be fine,
forget how much we owe,
live another life,
resist the need to wrong,
let water cleanse our bones,
keep us within our song,
can we hold the line,
resist that slippery slope,
a bell to keep its chime, , ,
we'll just bumble along,
remain with all we know,
hope love makes us strong,
recognise a change of time,
banish the 'noon swallow,
work at being kind,
I’ll never let you down,
worry about the loans,
rid your need to frown,
my lips still shine ornate,
blush with all I show,
believe a dream to chase,
you'll never be alone.

Living here no paradise,
never makes the news,
why try being nice,
might as well be space,
a useless sea and moon,
KFC junk on our plate,
we need a better life,
no matter what we do,
many lapse in silence,
will our wail resonate,
take us past the Blues,
if we look far away,
beyond at big horizonzs,
morning sometimes rue,
blame the sodium lights,
something to create,
thunder our turpitude,
not packed in crates,
home's no easy sight,
in w search for truth,
to dance before we die,
searching for youth.

Sometimes ask myself why,
can we ever atone,
stars pale in the sky,
it might as well be Mars,
for all anyone knows,
we've sailed out that far,
tears run from my eyes,
the sing of wind is cold,
is this just another time,
say kids and dogs you want,
don't prize a silky combe,
forget being calm,
when you hear me cry,
running out of zone,
why just sit and sigh,
ask if there are scars,
like coffee spill on chrome,
a battle's not a war,
no matter how we fight,
strain every weary bone,
need you close tonight,
are you coming home ?
