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.

ISLAND OF LOST SOULS

In Babylon on the boulevard of broken dreams my will power at the lowest ebb oh what can I do

Oh buccaneer can ya help me put my truck in gear can ya take me far away from here save my soul from sin

You wanna get away you've had it man nothing's going right so come sit on the sands of the island island of lost souls

No luxuries no no amenities too dull your senses oh oh only primitive hey hey really get away is what he said

Where did he go I'm tired of waiting here for him where can he be he's not with me where did he go what will I do alone why did he run run away from me

The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear and golden sands are calling out to you inviting make a new man outa you

You can come for awhile come with a friend forget about work start all over again let the real you through here's what we do

No luxuries no no amenities too dull your senses oh oh only primitive hey hey really get away island of lost souls

Ayya ayya ayya island of lost souls
