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.

SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL

(--- speculated lyrics ---)

There's a new generation of analysts who rose to the top like cream
They're tearin' down the senses and building to a scream
They're puttin' up a school for scandal
I can't listen anymore
Settin' up a school for scandal
Bash my head against a wall

Plans were laid
Plots have thickened
Objections raised
Pulses quickened
Today's the day
How long you waited
Finally, you're graduated

Disgrace
What a waste!
Fill your mouth, stuff your face
Eat them all a bloody taste
It's a school for scandal

The devil's dick is hard to handle
Forget about the golden rule
Keep lookin' for a foot to land on
Step into the scandal school
They're puttin' up a school for scandal
I can't listen anymore
They're settin' up a school for scandal
Bash my head against a wall

Plans were laid
Plots have thickened
Objections raised
Pulses quickened
Today's the day
How long you waited
Finally, you're graduated

Disgrace
What a waste!
Fill your mouth, stuff your face
Eat them all a bloody taste
It's a school for scandal

Plans were laid
Plots have thickened
Objections raised
Pulses quickened
Today's the day
How long you waited
Finally, you're graduated
Disgrace
What a waste!
Fill your mouth, stuff your face
Eat them all a bloody taste
You're disgraced
What a waste!
Fill your mouth, stuff your face
Eat them all a bloody taste
You're disgraced
What a waste!
It's a school for scandal

Scandal dies, if you approve
Talking trash, full of blues
How it started, it's your tale
From the pack of lies, what will you choose

COMMENTS

"A lot of songs [on this album] came together really easily, but this one was really like we were all on the same wavelength. It happened without us even being in the same room. It was really exciting and it came out sort of commercial-radio, which we felt we were actually sort of missing."
