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.

IN THE FLESH

Darlin' darlin' darlin' I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough I can't wait to touch you in the flesh

Darlin' darlin' darlin' I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love is nothing without you in the flesh

Went walking one day on the Lower East Side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said "hands off this one sweetie this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you I'm not deaf, dumb and blind

Darlin' darlin' darlin' now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with they bring my head down
Oh darlin' darlin' watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello it'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Oh warm and soft in the flesh
Oh close and hot in the flesh
Oh

COMMENTS

"In Australia, the song was played by mistake on the nationally broadcast music program 'Countdown' and was well received by the viewing audience. Chrysalis Records released the song as a single in Australia only, with 'X Offender' as the b-side, and it quickly reached number 4 on the Australian singles chart. Australia therefore became the first territory in which the group achieved a hit single, and the album sold well."
