Not For Pussies I'll always be indebted to Bette As she took a slow drag on her cigarette her response to the question of growing old was a slug of whisky and a dangerous growl Its not for pussies (I'm with you girl - It's a crazy old world) They're hooked on Botox, lipo nip and tuck but I'm a rebel - I don't give a fuck This plastic cult of youth - pathetic wooses I'm for growing older the natural way But it's not for pussies (I'm with you girl...) This life's for living Sometimes it can be mean It has to leave scars You can't just wipe the slate clean I'll always be indebted to Bette As she took a slow drag on her cigarette her response to the question of growing old was a slug of whisky and a dangerous growl It's not for pussies (I'm with you girl...)

Seasons Change We flew south of Labrador 500 miles an hour or more heading westward into blue watched over by a crescent moon We left the day that Summer went butterflies and flowers spent the veil of Autumn drifting in long fingers round the hill I'd watched the swallows gathering sweeping, swooping, chattering The wires empty, now they're gone south the Winter long The planet spins, seasons change things we love fall out of range hearts are broken, people cry we all must live and die We're all involved in endless flight The world revolves from day to night and every living shape and form watches for another dawn It's not so hard to swim this tide to feel the force at work inside part of the earth and stars above surrendering ourselves with love

Decide 05:53
Decide You've got to decide Don't hover in this in-between this twilight world of fevers and dreams You've got to decide I won't hate you for choosing her like I did when you chose before You've got to decide We've had our time to see things through I'm all grown, but this isn't done until you decide You've got to decide got to be a man You've got to decide don't just lay back and let it ride This life isn't done until you decide

Stay 02:36
Stay This black hole swallows stuff up, twists things inside out I lose all perspective, drowning in doubt It's been like this forever and a day I'm in awe of your tenacity - whatever makes you stay This black hole swallows me up, twists me round and round I can't see so clearly when I'm looking out In my hands I hold a line, fingers eager for the one thing ever-present in all of the doubt "This thing is love" you look at me and say I can't believe my luck, I'm completely blown away I search deep in your eyes for whatever makes you stay

Billie 04:28
Billie She was the favourite - the youngest of the three She loved the stories papa told her on his knee The warmth of her family was the only thing she knew The house with the garden where the apple blossom grew Life is hard - but there's beauty in it too Love is hard - but it's always there in you She never expected things to happen - life to change But the world is big and bad and twice as strange The people you love can leave - suddenly they're gone She woke up one day to find that she was all alone Life is hard - she gathered up all the pieces of her broken world Love is hard - and cried her heart out for this lonely little girl Life is hard - but you gotta, you gotta take part in it Love is hard - you've just gotta open up your heart to it Life is hard - but there's beauty in it too Love is hard - but it's always there in you YAHWEH..

Beloved 03:53
Beloved If this is all there is I am content I am content, beloved The morning and your kiss I am content I am content, beloved The suffering and bliss I want it all The rise and fall, beloved We live, we love ...

Full Circle 06:03
Full Circle Daddy I want to take you in my arms tell you stories, say a prayer, keep you from harm stroke your hair and tuck you into bed at night I want to tell you that it's all going to be alright But I just don't have the wherewithal... We've come full circle There's a lot of stuff we both need to forget like when I grew into a woman and was a threat The innocence of little children is just a dream gone in an instant like the sticks we sent downstream And I can't find where we left it all... We've come full circle

Home 03:13
Home He sits for hours, perfectly still - hugging himself against the chill This world is fading - it's bleak and cold no one around to have or to hold You really need to hold him - he's feeling so alone the chill of having no one seeps into his bones You really need to love him - he's feeling so alone his world is full of strangers - he's never going home He needed her love to see the light and now he's stumbling in endless night He's never been one of the crowd they're way too superficial and way too loud His dreams are all in the past tense present or future make no sense His body's useless, as good as dead he's taken refuge deep inside his head You really need to hold him - he's feeling so alone the chill of having no one seeps into his bones You really need to love him - he's feeling so alone his world is full of strangers, he's never going home Finally free Love guide him home ....

Rain 07:26
Rain There's the church and there's the steeple but I don't know where all the people are There's no more reason to the rhyme and I can't slow the hands of time, no... There's nothing to lose nothing more to gain we're all just waiting for the rain There's nothing more to choose no more roles to play staring at the sky to numb the pain Just waiting for the rain to wash away our souls fill us up make us whole again Waiting for the rain ....

Grey Cardigan I need a hug gotta turn to the living for some love Your room is bare someone else soon will live there now you're gone They took your shell and in the fire it was turned to dust I hide my face in your grey cardigan and breathe you in I will move on but your grey cardigan will comfort me for now ...

Dancing 04:19
Dancing Reach out - take my hand You're safe and sound - ooh my man Reel me in darlin' - hold me close This is real I know This is happening my love Way above the clouds we're we're dancing, we're dancing Oh nothing can stop us now we're dancing, we're dancing The sunshine all around us now we're dancing, we're dancing We've left it all behind us now... It's been so long - oh such an age since I saw your face - felt your warm embrace Oh I suffered years through a haze of tears but now I have you here darlin' Hold me Hold me I always knew you'd come for me All my prayers answered It was all meant to be This is our reality We are dancing in the light no more mourning in the night ...

about

The eponymous debut album comprised of songs written over a period of about two years, involving a range of styles from folk-based (Seasons Change, Full Circle) to ballads (Billie), rock songs (Not for Pussies) to atmospheric instrumentals (Introduction - The Journey, Alice). The result is a mellow melange of sound.. described by Jan Schelhaas (of Strawbs, Caravan & Camel fame) as " very parsley-sage"...
Dedicated to our Dads.

about

Not for Pussies Perth, UK

Not for Pussies came into being in 2008, although Brian and Janette Kidd have been together - and playing music together (and with others) for much, much longer.
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! ...
