This past year or so, Janette has spent an awful lot of time online. It's a great place, but this song explores the ambivalence of it.. and the potential dangers...

The Web

Your head is full of urgent messages all calling out to you.
You’re caught up in the world wide web of lies,
there’s nothing else to do, but

POST - Your mood, your food, your status
BLOG – Your opinion counts, you know
TWEET – but keep it short and sweet , we haven’t got all day to blow
POST – A joke, a dog, detritus
BLOG – The daily diary show
TWEET – The word is brevity , attention spans are short, you know

The chatter’s monitored, corporations want to know
what we’ve all been up to lately, where we’re gonna go… Yeah
What ideas are trending, who thinks they run the show
GCHQ and God knows who are listening to me and you,
to everyone we know…..

So much to say, so much to comment on, it means so much to you.
We’re living in a world wide webathon, there’s nothing we can do, but

POST – The protest, share the cause
BLOG – We gotta have our say
TWEET – Just keep it to the point, cos we don’t have all day….
POST – A kitten, Santa Claus
BLOG – Your deep thought for the day
TWEET - and pass that virtual joint, I wanna fade away…….

The chatter’s monitored, governments, they want to know
what we’ve all been doing lately, where we’re gonna go.. Yeah
What new ideas are trending, who thinks they run the show
MI5 and Langley too – are listening to me and you,
to everyone we know……

Switch it off Pull the plug Disconnect You’ve had enough
Open up to what’s around, take a step on hallowed ground
Feel the pulse of the earth, calling us with every breath
Slowing down and letting go of everything you think you know
Feel the rush, the ecstasy, you lose the one as you become …..
ONE ….

You can’t resist the constant messaging
It’s coming through to you
The web is where your life is happening,
there’s nothing you can do, without your

POST – a picture of your dinner
BLOG – about your favourite band
TWEET – your feelings for that rock star - He’s a mate, he’ll understand!
POST – You gotta show your best face
BLOG – Your story’s riveting
TWEET – to check your followers are sitting up and listening

Out in the webisphere does anybody want to know
just what you’ve been doing lately, where you’re gonna go…. Yeah
While you’re busy friending people you don’t know
Is anybody really out there … Hello Hello Hello
Anyone you know? Is there anyone to know?

Switch it off Pull the plug Disconnect You’ve had enough
Open up to what’s around, take a step on hallowed ground
Feel the pulse of the earth calling us with every breath
Slowing down and letting go of everything you think you know ….

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! ...
