The Garden

from After Dark by Not for Pussies

/

about

Janette began this song as an idea on the piano and the lyrics were her thoughts on where the human race stands now.. The image of the Garden of Eden gives it the feel of a fable.
Janette's line drawing of Adam & Eve being tempted by the serpent was inspired by mediaeval woodcuts and illustrations.

lyrics

The Garden

How many people is it going to take?
How many voices together?
What do we do when it all starts to break down?
Nothing left then but the weather

Are we too late? Are we too few?
In the face of the majority is there nothing we can do?
Is this the end? Is it all lost?
We're the dinosaurs, the "we want more"s no matter what the cost

We are a plague on the planet - We are a plague on the earth

How do we get back to Adam & Eve? Find our way back to the Garden?
Who do we turn to - what can we believe?
No one will grant us a pardon

We know how to take - much less to give
We're abusing and just using up this precious place we live
Oh we can care - yeah we can love
But this sickness we're afflicted with means we never get enough

Oh there is no forgiveness - Who do you think you're praying to?
We're sitting here in our own mess - It's all down to me and you

We felt we're into an era in our lives where Bette Davis' quote about getting older (it's "not for pussies") felt very apt - and our music reflects this - and the experience of having lived a little! ...
