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 DREAM'S LOST ON ME

I wake up laughing thrown from a nightmare I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air bright as Tiajuana like a dose of Bella Donna I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin' I greet bad news by sending it walkin' happy or just crazy relaxed or lazy gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo every dark has an afterglow I'm not afraid of what's down below I keep my sights on the sky

I wake up laughing thrown from a nightmare I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air bright as Tiajuana like a dose of Bella Donna I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin' I greet bad news by sending it walkin' happy or just crazy relaxed or lazy I'm gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me

COMMENTS

quoted from the book 'Deborah Harry: Platinum Blonde - A Portrait By Cathay Che' - 1999

"You and Romy wrote 'The Dream's Lost On Me' together right? - Yeah, and it's so sweet. She said, I wrote these words and I don 't know if you'll like them. We could write something else... And I looked at them and I said, Are you crazy? This is so beautiful, so perfect - I just love it. I want to do that one in Spanish also."
