The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

FEATURED ON

The Curse Of Blondie [album] (2003)


BACKGROUND MELODY (THE ONLY ONE)

I know what I'm made of but what's inside of me maybe science maybe giants maybe just a mystery maybe the mother of invention is really intensity and baby when they made you I was the background melody a partner to the feeling now you're a part of me

So be the only one who cares the only one who dares the only one who sees the only one who dreams be the only one who tries the only one who cries be the only one for me for me

Don't think I'm fantasizing I didn't make it up lots of people tell me things things about their love how the music that was play along and how they made you in the afterglow I didn't see him do the body rock I didn't feel the after shock but baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares the only one who dares the only one to dance the one who takes a chance be the only one who's real the only one who feels be the only one who loves

You may think I'm egocentric but I'm only centered some of the time I want you to remember I want to be the tune you can't get out of your mind

I wasn't there to see the pressure drop I didn't do the Mom and Pop baby when they made you I was the background melody was it the lady or the tiger who was the bottom who was the top oh baby when they made you I was the background melody

So be the only one who cares the only one who dares the only one who sees the only one who dreams be the only one who tries the only one who cries be the only one for me for me
