Verity

Don't need a shrink, a new lover somehow, gives me a glass to chink, what i might disown, he's only young, brings with him new stories, can see how you blink, he won't need a plough, to tend to my jinks, a fine display for the crown, contains buttons i've sewn, nothing will bring us down, I dance on the brink, it's a whole summer furlough, sun that gladdens then sinks, my fields turn dull brown, the heat off my brow, would light up a town, shall i drink more drink, will they ship me now, my face a rosy pink, who cares for tomorrow ?

Ula

You appear cloned, your picture up in lights, signs written on the wall. if love holds true, knows which bells to strike, they clang we love you, tells us we're not alone, no matter how we fight, strain our yellow bones, we call you miss Fortune, pretty before your time, who can bear the truth, the screams down a ‘phone, a faith lost in paradise, flames never coming home, clouds are a blackened hue, in nights of winter fire, what's become of you, your beauty talented soul, grazes our delight, wind turns a sudden cold, stars come out like ice.

Go on assign your chores, or other things you do, scream like I'm a whore, throw stones at boomers, fill your eyes with goo, sing birds out of tune, keep up with the law, don't pretend my perfume, makes you want to snort, we're not alone in this brew, dancing light of costumes, jail provides no clue, God knows at your core, you try to rest assumed, all our cards are scored, never that stupid, to say its not you, just some other crew, a veil you can draw, across my face in virtue, illuminates your craw, missing out on truth.

My mother says keep true, but she doesn't rate, our love running smooth, it brings me back to you, by mountains and coarse lakes, love to do what we do, don't melt me lemon blue, my yellow hair just shakes, it blows down the avenue, our trips to secret venues, make me sometimes hesitate, luckily there's no curfew, pass this day can't you, each evening celebrate. no one's out to get us, why worry about the feuds, life shows all its breaks, stir in some wicked tunes, see the sound it makes.

Romy

Who knows if she's right, when she can demand anything, sunlight,water,sky, like grey sea off Martha's shank, her smile arrives in a sling, beams where my heart sank, she's never left a family’s side, but comes here to sing, a woman who has to fight, her lungs like a tank, that blows through any ring, bursts open doors of banks, next to me like a bride, her lips shine like shillings, around a constant sigh, her days are never lank, nails me with that smile, too assured let's be frank. tobacco blonde full of lies, a dancer whose fame decides, many a famous night, who dances in the tide.

Qiana

Times that brought her here, a yellow light of feasting, she dreams of winter fairs, won't let anyone condone, what passes for ease, harsh memories a broken home, more than any fear, she'll do what's needed, holding back the tears, love seeps around her throat, it reaches her knees. trembles in a toll of water, lets go a life of drear, knows what she's leaving, stuff fought over and cleared, a used loading stone, she throws to the sea, swears she'll never atone, fixed like an overseer, she cries upon release, wonders if anyone hears, life settles easy.

Phoebe

Bells ring out the night, will we ever see home, like a song beseeches why, the Americas near or far, by mountains in the gloam, where we'll make our mark, is land within our sight, a warm embrace of domes, give me your sweet sign, love only turns to tar, when dancers lose their soul, everything becomes stark, in darkness and green light, our lives are surely formed, you always shine so bright, no wonder you're a star, do not need a semaphore, to guide us where we are, through seas alone.
