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.

THE BEAST

We want fun we wanna run we want fun we gotta run we want fun get out among the hottest clubs find some love

Billions of people have heard of me and everyone knows the sun rises in the east not too nice not too sweet no one even
talks to me I shake the leaves right off the trees I'm the bee's greasy knees I shake 'em I break 'em I drop 'em from eight miles high alright

In the past my fate was cast my social life was limited to Halloween and New Year's Eve monotony was killing me approaching schizophrenia I hit the hot spots every night and for the first time in my life the bouncers would greet me doormen would escort me managers adored me photographers would follow me begging for a smile beast over here beast here Beast the hat check always said to me hiya b whatcha doin' later

We want fun we gotta run if you need fun get out and run you need fun for feeling fine we want fun for feeling fine and find the one now I'm not bragging heaven knows I spend no more nights alone lucky me I'm ten foot three and freaky my pictures been re-printed, interviews requested one hundred times a week believe it I'm not talking through my teeth are you sure you got it I mean it to prove it I'm in the news it's true it's true check it out check it out he wants her love she wants love I take action get relief pick a partner pick a piece get
satisfaction I am the beast I am the beast she wants fun he wants her love I get satisfaction I pick up my feet I'm the center of attraction by staying off the streets and I want love get some funk and get some fun punks like fun punks like funk funk is fun we want fun
