This piece was written around 1968-9 by French-American experimental composer Christian G. Wolff, a pupil and close associate of John Cage. Another piece by Wolff was also covered in SYR4 and the composer himself played an organ-synthesizer in both pieces.
According to Allmusic.com:
In Edges, one...
You go to my head.......
Mention of you.......
The very mention of you........
You go to my head........
Yeah, that's right now...
Right...
Okay, okay, I'm sorry...
I did go in there
And I did eat their porridge
And I sat in the chairs
The three chairs
And um, I did break a chair
And um, then I...
I went upstairs, I was feeling really tired
And there are these three beds there
And I laid down on one bed and it was too high
It was just too high...
So then, I um, you know, this ain't a big deal
I went and I laid in the middle-sized bed
And it was too soft
And I was so tired
And I got up and I went to the little bed
And I laid down
And you know it was just right...
And you know, I just fell asleep
And uh...
I'm sleeping
And then, like, suddenly
Somebody wakes me up
And they say "what are you doing in my bed?"
And I just got up and... I...
I just bolted
You know...
It just wasn't cool to say that
And I went to the forest so fast
And I never think back
