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.

HEROES

I, I would be queen and you, you would be king
Oh, nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers and that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers and that is that
Oh, nothing will keep us together

We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever
Whatta ya say?

I, I wish we could swim, like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Oh, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
I, I would be queen
And you, you would be king
Oh, nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I remember standing by the wall
The guns shot above our heads, and we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side

Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
And we can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes, we can be heroes, we can be heroes, just for one day, just for one day
