Heart Of Glass

Blondie Heart Of Glass Lyrics
1.Dreaming

(Hey, hello there
You seen us on TV
You read about us in the magazines
And you hear us on the radio
But right now, you e gonna see and hear
Blondie live)
When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no
debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure; 'A movie or a measure'?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me we just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming
Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and
hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free


2.In The Sun

Surf's up
In the sun I'm waiting for the day
Having fun in warm far away
Moonlight nights water seems so clear
Oh city lights while I'm still waiting here
In the sun it's for everyone
In the sun were gonna have some fun
In the sun were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you my paka lola luau love
New York isle is covered by gray
Concrete piles blues play my way
Tropic haze pineapple sky
Perfect wave hurricane eye
In the sun it's for everyone
In the sun were gonna have some fun
In the sun were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you my paka lota burning love
In the sun it's for everyone
In the sun were gonna have some fun
In the sun were gonna shoot the tube
I'll do it for you my paka lota burning love
Where is my wave?
(repeat)


3.Die Young Stay Pretty

(Hey, you all, is there plenty of room up there?
We're all squished in here it's so hot
Greetings, this is Radio Blondie coming to you tonight
From the Hammersmith Odeon in London
We would like to welcome all of you
And to congratulate you most of all
For making it through the nineteen seventies
To the nineteen eighties
But for those of you who didn't make it)
Die young stay pretty
Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are ya living alone or with your family?
a dried up twig on your family tree?
Are ya waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth love for youth
So die young and stay pretty
Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream
Oh ya sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were ya waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth love for youth
So live fast 'cause it won't last
Dearly near senility
Was it good or maybe you won't tell?


4.Slow Motion

(Hey, hello there
The next song we'd like to do for you
Is called slow motion)
What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back
Wants his baby back
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache
She can't concentrate
Pick up the beat you can move like you're made out of vapor
'Catch me if you can', is what she said with her hands
Come on and take me back
Can you take her back?
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine
The world slows down and she stops on a dime
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician
Still she knows she'll never lose a thing
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string
Still you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head counting in your head
Slow motion
I can play with time
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head
Slow motion
You can play with time
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and live in your dreams at night rolling in your bed
Slow motion you can stop on a dime
Slow motion you ought to try it sometime
Take me back on another track
Take me back take me back
Slow motion you can pick up the beat
Slow motion you can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back take me back


5.Shayla

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay and she goes far away
Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone trapped by its beauty
Shayla turned to run away to leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came
Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy, brushed her
like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
'Cause on the freeway
Bright lights and thunder


6.Union City Blue

Oh-ho what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine
Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man
Arrive climb up four flights to the orange side
Rearrange my mind (lines)
In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue
Skyline, passion, Union City blue
Power, passion, plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man
I say he's mine
I have a plan
I say he's my Union City man
Oh-oh what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue


7.Hardest Part

Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna
pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist no overnight big money
Take ya to Brazil
Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge
Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh need to feel some hardened steel
Deliver the big money deal
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal


8.Atomic

10.Picture This

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view, oooooh
I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you
shower
I will give you my finest hour oh yeah
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oohh, oh
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you oh yeah
All I want is 20/20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, ooooh
If you can
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer try to do what ya used to do yeah

12.Heart Of Glass

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh


13.Hanging On The Telephone

I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh hang there unrelieved!


14.I Feel Love

(Want to hear something else?)
Ooh, it so good, it so good, it good, it so good
Ooh, I in love, I in love, I love, I in love
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love

Ooh, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
Ooh, you and me, you and me, you and me
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
I feel
Ooh, it so good, it so good, it good, it so good
Ooh, I in love, I in love, I love, I in love
Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love
I feel love
I feel love

15.Heroes

I, I will be king
And you, you will be king
And 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 me
And I, I do all the time
Cause we e lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we are
And that is that
Well nothing
Can keep us together
We can steal time
Just for one day
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
What do you say
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins swim
And nothing
Nothing can keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day
I, I will be queen
And you, you will be king
Though nothing will drive em?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, shone above our heads
And we kissed
I saw nothing to fault
And the shade
Was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
(repeat)

17.Sunday Girl

(Aye, you want some more
Yeah, go ahead
It's easy, easy baby, yeah)
I know a girl from a lonely street cold as ice cream but still
as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin?means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
'Baby I would like to go out tonight'
'If I go with you my folks' will get uptight'
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey I say your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday Girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine I could be Sunday's
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin?means to me
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I've got the blues
Please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up


18.Pretty Baby

Stars live in the evening but the very young need the sun
Pretty baby you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
I was forming some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche
ya' ya' baby 'La Dolce Vita' is a magic dance
No one was listening
Pretty baby petite ingenue teenage starlet I fell in love with
you
You you with the comb
YOu look ok in every way
Ah I should have known you'd look at me and look away oh
Pretty baby you look so heavenly
A neo nebula from under the sun
Eyes that tell me 'incense and peppermints'
Your looks are larger than life
Long live innocence
Petite ingenue I fell in love with you


19.In The Flesh

(Here's a song off our first album
We don't usually do too much
It's called, In The Flesh)
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love, is nothing without you in the flesh
Went walking one day on the lower east side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said; 'Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine'
I couldn't resist you
I'm not deaf dumb and blind
Darling, darling, darling, now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with, they bring my head down
Darling, darling, darling, watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh
Ooh close and hot in the flesh
