lyrics

Hey you! With your limited vocabulary, so that when you need a noun you reach for an obscenity
Hey you! With your dropped “h”-es, and your double negatives, and your meaningless vocal phrases

I ain’t got no time for your shit, know what I mean?

City boy! With your too-small pinstripe, and your cutaway collar, and your lifestyle-magazine lifestyle
City girl! With your DKNY and your Burberry,
You’re just a facsimile of everybody else around you

[I don’t want to]
Be like you
I don’t want to
Look like you
I don’t want to
Sound like you
Because I’m not like you, I’m not like you at all.

Hey You! With your trendy sunglasses and your inappropriate overcoat,
You’re standing in a nightclub!
Hey you! With your unimaginative 4:4 rock and its dubious lyrical content

[I don’t want to]
Be like you
I don’t want to
Look like you
I don’t want to
Sound like you
Because I’m not like you, I’m not like you

[I don’t want to]
Be like you
I don’t want to
Dress like you
I don’t want to
Seem to be like you
Because I’m not like you, I’m not like you at all.

(Malcolm Buckley)

about

Harriet Records Port Jefferson, New York

I ran Harriet Records between 1989 and 1998 out of Cambridge, MA. I released 10 CDs (most of which are available here) and 45 singles. There are 11 "new" releases so far, most recently the Coronets (London, ca 2000) and Kisswhistle (Pittsburgh). New releases next year by Chris Barickman, the Lookout Honeys, and a follow-up Ekphrastics CD!
