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.

DOG IN SAND

Just this mornin' I met a strange old man
A distant cousin at a taxi stand
The half blind stepson of my weird aunt Flo, the one my mother never let me know
He looked me over, then he shook his head
He hunched his shoulders
This is what he said
'Hearts are yearning to be thrown to sear, fates pickled finger doesn't work or me'
Mostly lately I just pray and sigh for those who've left us and for you and I
'Love to me is like a setting sun, a tired old goniff with his pants undone'
'Doesn't need trying, doesn't need a hand, just sits softly like a dog in sand'
Just this morning I met a strange old man who just sat softly like a dog in sand
