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.

REMIXES & OTHER VERSIONS

SO WE DANCED AGAIN

Everybody has a dream that maybe haunts them
A dream that follows them into their sleep
I, for one, am always searching through my memories however brief, however small

Remember mid-summer the way we laughed
like gypsy moths we knew we'd never last
And so we danced and danced and danced again
Knowing for well that we would reach the end

He was a boy in years very close to mine
young with golden hair and sturdy back
I still see him walking through the village square
with nothing but a Kenyan gunny sack

The evening stars hid us from prying eyes
The fire works lit up the midnight skies
We laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed again
knowing for well that we would reach the end

Through the years I've taken on some lovers, lovers, more than just a few
some gave me pleasure others I gave pain and others I left there lying in the rain

Everybody has a dream that maybe haunts them
A dream that follows them throughout their life
I, for one, am always gazing back in time no matter who I'm with I always see his eyes

Remember mid-summer the way we laughed
like gypsy moths we knew we'd never last
And so we danced and danced and danced again
Knowing for well that we would reach the end

The evening stars hid us from prying eyes
The fire works lit up the midnight skies
We laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed again
knowing for well that we would reach the end

COMMENTS

from the 'Burnzy's Last Call' booklet

"Now it can be told: after an August, 1976 visit to a famous Swiss clinic, Little John Nancy emerged with a new voice, name and aesthetic. Sadly, this tune was Nancy John's lone pop charting, but the chorus's stiff martial cadence has made it a perennial Oktoberfest favorite the world over."
