Once I Had A Love (The Disco Song)

Once I had a love and it was a gas soon turned out to be a thing of the past seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust love's gone behind once I had a love and it was divine soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind mucho mistrust love's gone behind in between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine love is so confusing there's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you it's just no good you teasing like you do once I had a love and it was a gas soon turned out had a heart of glass seemed like the real thing only to find mucho mistrust love's gone behind

Lost inside adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside we coulda made it cruising yeah yeah riding high on love's true blueish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas soon turned out to be a pain in the ass seemed like the real thing but I was so blind mucho mistrust love's gone behind

comments

quoted from the "Platinum Collection" booklet - 1994

Clem Burke: These demos show the beginning of "Heart Of Glass." It was known as "The Disco Song" even though I had no idea what a disco song was. Then we started recording it for the "Parallel Lines" sessions.

Jimmy Destri: You get to see the evolution of a song which, for us, didn't often happen this way.

Frank Infante: These demos could be subtitled "The Essence of Blondie."
