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

We Are Only Riders - The JLP Sessions Project [compilation] (January 11, 2010)

LUCKY JIM

The rain it has arrived at last for which we had waited
The hawkers have packed up their stands
Nothing to be traded
The soviets beside the quay run to the freighters
The terrace of the Rex Hotel is closed by the waiters

We need you, oh Lucky Jim
Where have you gone?
Oh Lucky Jim

The mistress has left her home
Back to the dances
The smoking dens are starting up for life's own enhancing
Nobody goes to the war coz there's none to go to
We just sit around in cafés bored, sit waiting for you

We need you, oh Lucky Jim
Where have you gone?
Oh Lucky Jim

Why did you ever go up North?
It is not for you
They'll strip your little weak heart clean
What will you do?
The Australians in a bunny bar are waiting your return
Everyone wants a piece of you, a piece of you to burn

We need you, oh Lucky Jim
Where have you gone?
Oh Lucky Jim
We miss you here
Oh Lucky Jim
Where have you gone?
Oh Lucky Jim
