lyrics

The day the gondola fell to the ground everyone told me how lucky I was

Lucky that the wind, while strong, was not even stronger
That the distance I fell, while long, was not even longer
Lucky that I was just seventeen because I could have been older
Lucky that it was just seventeen because it could have been colder

I am here to set the record straight
I am here to make the opposing case
I’m not lucky, I’m unlucky
Fantastically unlucky

They told me I was lucky my helmet proved to be a good shock absorber
But earlier if I’d had the nerve to chat up that cute snowboarder
I would not have been there at all; I’d’ve been in the lodge by the fire
Instead they tell me I’m lucky for injuries because they were minor

I am here to set the record straight
I am here to state the opposing case
I’m not lucky, I’m unlucky
Spectacularly unlucky

Nobody tells me things could have been better
Only they could have been worse
Can’t you see, that’s a fallacy
The reality’s the reverse

I am here to set the record straight
I am here to make an emphatic case
I’m not lucky, I’m unlucky
U-N-L-ucky

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!
