lyrics

The Edison Trees don’t swing in the breeze
They’re made of galvanized steel
They don’t carry fruit, have concrete for roots,
But they bring us the juice that we need

The Edison Trees spread like a disease
As people consume more and more
They criss-cross the ground through fields and towns
I think I forgot to close the fridge door

Thomas, did you realise, as you led us from the dark,
A moment’s insight in your lab would leave a global mark?

It’s hard to decrease the Edison Trees;
Resistance is Volts over Amps. [note: this is Ohm’s Law. Enjoy.]
But we can’t resist the comfortableness
Of power and heat and angle-poise lamps

Thomas, did you realise, as you led us from the dark,
A moment’s insight in your lab would leave a global mark?
Call me Luddite if you will,
Call me naïve and ridiculous,
But these damned things are ubiquitous!

Oh, the irony is mine, in my bright, warm flat at night
I used to be a cynic, but now I’ve seen the light

(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!
