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.

DEEP END

(--- speculated lyrics ---)

Summertime, I like to play with the ocean
Take the lifesaving measures of a dead man's crawl
You're jumping into my little piece of heaven
Swimming around like a fish in a bowl
My little sister had her imaginary friend
Splashin' & playin' down at the shallow end
Caught naked baby you might need a friend
Well I got you covered, your back's in my hand

So don't be afraid of the deep end
Up to your neck, holding your breath
No don't be afraid, don't be afraid of it
Don't be afraid
You'll only get wet

Now you're contemplating while I'm riding the waves
What will you uncover when we're body surfin’ babe
Well, I like surprises as much as the next
We can sail on your love boat and watch the sun set

Don't be afraid of the deep end 'cause I’m gonna follow the two-by-two rule
No don't be afraid, don't be afraid of it
Don't be afraid
It feels really good

Pop your top, flip you switch
Gonna set you off
Throw caution to the wind
(pop your top)
Pop your top, flip your switch
Set you off
(Gonna set you off)
Throw caution to the wind
(Caution to the wind)
Throw caution to the wind
(Caution to the wind)

Don't be afraid of the deep end
Don't be afraid to (?)
Don't be afraid of the deep end
Without the art of the scary part
There's nothing at all
Oh, don't be afraid of the deep end
Up to your neck, holding your breath
Don't be afraid of it, don’t run away from it
Don't be afraid, you'll only get wet

COMMENTS

quoted from the VH1.com article 'Deborah Harry: Track by Track':

"I thought it was sort of a good analogy -- a swimming pool, the deep end and the deep end of a person, the darker side of a personality. That is the hardest part about relationships is to really get into those areas that are deeply personal, but are often the best parts. In general I tend to really have a very serious side. It just struck me that I think people have a problem dealing with the real important issues in a person's personality."
