You aren't getting any younger Lines spread across your face Don't you want your life to have meaning? A life without regret If you're into meditation or self-medication, or herbal cultivation or you're the head of the nation Avocado mastication, three day vacation, It's time to change your life station, your new job's procreation You're a woman of a certain age You're a witch of a certain age You're a Wiccan of a certain age It's biology God knows it's meant to be You'll feel different when you're older, honey It's not your decision If you're into meditation or self-medication, or herbal cultivation or you're the head of the nation Avocado mastication, three day vacation, It's time to change your life station, your new job's procreation You're a woman of a certain age You're a witch of a certain age You're a Wiccan of a certain age That body clock must be tickin' That thing is ready to blow You're clucky like a chicken That thing is ready to go If you're into meditation or self-medication, or herbal cultivation or you're the head of the nation Avocado mastication, three day vacation, It's time to change your life station, your new job's procreation You're a woman of a certain age You're a witch of a certain age You're a Wiccan of a certain age

If only all the cats grow into kittens If only everything else grow into cats Then the whole world would be full of kittens Can you hear meow? Meow Can you hear a woof? No Poop eat play purr Eat play sleep purr Sleep sleep sleep sleep How can something be so cute!? Poop eat play purr Eat play sleep purr Sleep sleep sleep sleep How can something be so cute!? If only all piecharts turned into pies If only everything else turned into piecharts Then the whole world would be full of pies Can you pass the sauce? Yes Can you see a square? No Poop eat play purr Eat play sleep purr Sleep sleep sleep sleep How can something be so cute!? Poop eat play purr Eat play sleep purr Sleep sleep sleep sleep How can something be so cute!? Pink nose, pink paws Tinkle bell, fluffy tail Soft ears, tiger fur Snuggle puss, snuggle puss Pink nose, pink paws Tinkle bell, fluffy tail Soft ears, tiger fur Snuggle puss, snuggle puss If only all the cats grow into kittens If only everything else grow into cats Then the whole world would be full of kittens Can you hear a meow?

about

Gender stereotypes suck, colonisation is awful and capitalism is the worst.
Animal Husbandress is Housewitches' response to topics ranging from the very global – gender issues, colonisation and the perils of nostalgia – to the hyper-local: opposition from car owners to a well-implemented cycle path in Kilbirnie.

Animal Husbandress is a lyric from “Man the Station,” which explores how much of the English language is rooted in the idea that masculinity is the default. In 2021 our language can feel at best, clumsy and inadequate, and at worst, exclusive and oppressive.

We hope you like our songs.
