about

A love song for a vampire. Janette went through a phase of reading all the Sookie Stackhouse novels and this is what emerged. Just don't mention Twilight!

lyrics

After Dark

I wait for the fading of the light and for you to wrap me up in your velvet cloak of night
Have I been hypnotised by your nocturnal song?
I can't believe that what you're doing to me is wrong
You make me feel that this is where we both belong
After dark...

No one else seduced me as utterly as you
And I don't care what they say, I know our love is true
Have I been hypnotised by your nocturnal song?
I can't believe that what you're doing to me is wrong
You make me feel that this is where we both belong
After dark...

Shooting stars burn up in space, fireflies light up your face
I see lovers in your eyes - All of those who've lived and died
Underneath it all we're just the same
Entranced like moths circling the flame
And so it goes...

The days they seem so empty, so long
I'm indifferent to the warmth of the sun
But then the evening star finally appears and with the darkness come my passions and my fears
These precious moments I have witih you my dear
After dark...

But there are monsters out there, waiting in the night
You know who they are, you can feel them prowl
I don't know how to stop them - can't begin to fight
They're reaching for my soul - tearing at my soul
I have no power against them... Only your love
Only our love...

I wait for the fading of the light and for you to wrap me up in your velvet cloak of night
Have I been hypnotised by your nocturnal song?
I can't believe that what you're doing to me is wrong
You make me feel that this is where we both belong
After dark...

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! ...
