lyrics

Open your bedroom window up
Look up and wish good morning
She has been up for half the night
Ruminating not snoring

You fell in love with a photograph
Snatched on the road to Johannesburg
A new sunroof in your light aircraft
The night you imported your giraffe

She was taller than you
On the day that she was born
And you can stand on all your friends but you won’t ever be this tall

Taking her down to the waterhole
Deep in suburban Bedfordshire
Dodging the people throwing stones
They don’t want her sort here
Looking at her and the photograph
Hasn’t she lost a bit of weight
Well if you live on Acacia street
How come there are no acacias to eat?

She was taller than you
On the day that she was born
And you can stand on all your friends but you won’t ever be this tall
You can say “whatever, yeah”
Tell yourself that she don’t care
You better hope on the night of the long necks that you are not there

(Philip 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!
