Macushla! Macushla!
Your sweet voice is calling,
Calling me softly,
Again and again,
Macushla! Macushla!
I hear it in vain.
Macushla, Macushla,
Your white arms are reaching,
I feel them enfolding,
Caressing me still.
Fling them out from the darkness,
My lost love, Macushla,
Let them find me and bind me
Again, if they will.
Macushla! Macushla!
Your red lips are saying
That death is a dream,
And love is for aye,
Then awaken, Macushla,
Awake from your dreaming,
My blue-eyed Macushla,
Awaken to stay.
Words by Josephine V. Rowe

Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all;
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;
All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.
Then if for my love thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;
But yet be blamed, if thou thyself deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,
Although thou steal thee all my poverty;
And yet, love knows, it is a greater grief
To bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury.
Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.
Text by William Shakespeare, music by Friday/Macken

Another Saturday night
and she knows where she’s going
that small corner bar
on the far side of town
folks call her Ol’ faithful
cause she’s always hanging around
dressed up shimmy-shammy
in her sequins and pearls
Hey there, moon
blue blue moon
I’m all alone
blue blue moon
without a love of my own
A Stoli on ice
makes everything just right
she laughs and chit-chats
with whoever’s around
I’ve been there.. done that
have you heard the one about..?
But no one really listens
And they don’t hear the sound
Hey, there, Moon
Blue, blue moon
I’m all alone
Blue, blue moon
Without a love of my own
I’m just looking for a friend
Someone to dance with me
A little romance
Cheek to cheek!
Someone to hold
And dance the night away
Tick-tock
Goes the barroom clock
It’s a quarter past two
and the night’s wearing thing
She saluts the happy couples
Bids them all a fond ‘Adieu’
Barman, make mine a double
Cinderella, here, has lost her shoe
Hey, there, Moon
Blue, blue moon
I’m all alone
Blue, blue moon
Without a love of my own
So I’ll make believe
Someone danced with me
She used to sing, she used to cry
But now…
She doesn’t even try
Because she knows the stars
– those bright & shiny stars! –
Have all fallen from the sky
And the moon is blue
And the moon is blue
(G.Friday, C.Frantz, J. Harrison, T. ‘Blast’ Murray, T. Weymouth)

I’m feeling lost
And a bit scared.
I’m on a journey
And I wasn’t prepared.
They tell me it’s risky.
I might not return.
Sometimes I’m freezing.
Sometimes I burn.
This journey is changing me,
But what can I do?
It’s a journey
I’ve got to make
A journey I’ve got to take.
Look what you’ve done to my skin.
Look what you’ve done to my heart.
But I won’t be scared.
I’ll see it through.
This journey might
Haunt me and hurt me.
This journey is called loving you.
This feeling is scary.
Like sparks on the skin.
Oh, how it excites me.
As thrilling as sin.
I pray for forgiveness
If this feeling is wrong.
But while I’m praying
Let the feeling go on.
This journey is changing me.
But what can I do?
It’s a journey
I’ve got to make.
A journey I’ve got to take.
Look what you’ve done to my skin.
Look what you’ve done to my heart.
But I won’t be scared.
I’ll see it through.
And though it might
Hurt me and hurt me,
This journey is called loving you.

In the shadow of a gun

Cover my eyes, lead me away
one step, two step… towards the water
past the door, past the door, let me out of here
feels like the future, looks like the past
Lover, lover, lover true.
Mother, father, son
Look in the water, what do I see?
The face of the face haunting me
Blood on his legs, eyes run red
and the scream of an angel in my head
Feels like the future, looks like the past.
Makes me wanna kill…
Lover, lover, lover true.
Mother, mother, father, son…
In the shadow of a gun, I break my love,
no feelings here, just a fist in a glove,
A fist in a glove.
Feels like the future, looks like the past
In the shadow of a shadow, the father in the son
In the shadow of a shadow, can never be one,
can never be one, the father in the son
can never be one, in the shadow of a gun.

Everything’s gonna be alright

Tell me everything will be all right
and you’ll be coming home with me for the night
Tell me nothing’s wrong
Baby, I don’t know where you are
I treat you wrong, made you compromise
You’re still the same, I see it in your eyes
Words dont mean a thing
What more can I say?
Tell me everything will be all right
Woman you’re not alone
Answer me, where’re you coming from
Show me, show me love
I need you now, more than ever
How does it feel
when all the world pulls you down
How does it feel
I don’t care, baby we can walk on air
Like the first time, tonight won’t be the last time
Tell me nothing’s wrong
Baby I don’t know where you are
Woman you’re not alone
Answer me where you’re coming from
Show me, show me love
I need you now, more than ever
Woman, you’re not alone
Answer me where you’re coming from
Show me show me love
I need you now, more than ever

Let’s read the trees and their autumn leaves
As they fall like a dress undone
At the end of summers love will find lovers
Who need the shadows of a winter’s sun
Don’t tell me you’re leaving
We can hide in the evening
It’s getting darker than it should
If we read the leaves as they blow in the breeze
Would it stop us now my love
Time enough for hard questions
Time enough for all our fears
Time is tougher than we both know yet
Time enough for tears
The moon is milk and the sky where it split
It’s magic and we all need to believe
We can wake in our dream
It’s not as hard as it seems
You know it’s harder to leave
Time enough for being braver
Time enough for all our fears
Time is tougher than we both know yet
Time enough for tears
I heard you say underneath your breath
Some kind of prayer
I heard you say underneath your breath
That you never wanna feel
this way about anybody else
Time enough for hard questions
Time enough for all your fears
Time is tougher than we both know yet
Time enough for tears
Time enough for being braver
Time enough I love this time of year
Time is tough it’s running away from us
Time enough for tears
Time enough
(I know, I know)
(It’s ok, it’s ok)
