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.

The Jazz Passengers (featuring Deborah Harry) - Individually Twisted [album] (1997)

OLÉ

Here's an idea that I have been brewing
We all feel like ruins, so what do you say
I've got these four wheels and who could want for more wheels
Just throw in a suitcase
We're off and away
Let's drive south, way past the border, raise our passports high there

Mexico will light our load
Our spirits, they will fly there
Don't say "Oh haha" 'til you feel the Baja
The people are kind there, I know you will agree
Frida Carlo and Katie Gerado are two of my favorites
They always have been
Come with me to Guadalajara
Stop off at Chiuaua
Tiny dogs will greet us there
We'll sit and yap for hours

I'm just a vulture for old Mayan culture or reefs you can snorkle
No bullfights for me
Late in the morning we'll catch a fiesta in time for siesta again

Vera Cruz will ease our blues then off up to Durango
I'm really partial to shellfish and mangoes and fresh cut celantro
I know that you can go
We'll try the Flamenco
Hey senor, don't be a bore
This sadness you're bearing it's wearing you down
When you unravel there's nothing like travel so pick up the pieces
Take it from me
All at once your life is over for your very eyes

So what do you say?
I say olé
Olé
Que padre?
Olé
I say olé olé olé olé olé olé olé
I say olé
