lyrics

Once you’ve blown out the candles, the year stretches out in front of you. Unwrapped all your token gifts, blushed at false congratulations. Soon you’re back to life as usual - rumours, lies and lonely evenings - birthday wishes stale and empty, everyone breaks their promises… looking forward to times ahead. I know I look awful, the pavement stares up at me, all my thoughts come apart in my mind. I walk through empty buildings, see things in the shadows that aren’t there, all these people - why did they slip away? These are the best years of your life, these are the best years. And I’m drinking the rain, and I’m conscious of my mediocrity, crying again (it seems so long since the last time I saw you), I can’t forget your face, yet you still mean so much to me, I just can’t turn the page, I can’t bear to leave you behind. And I’m crouching in the dark and I sit on this cold grey step alone, every time I hear a sound I’m on edge and I half-expect to see you there. Once I was a child, and one day I’ll be a man - but for now, there’s nothing else. Sixteen is all I am.

about

Harriet Records image

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!
