Blondie Parallel Lines Lyrics
1.Hanging On The Telephone

Lyrics:Jack Lee
Music:Jack Lee

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!
(repeat)


2.One Way Or Another

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya' ,get ya', get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna see ya'
I'm gonna meet ya', meet ya', meet ya', meet ya'
One day maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya'
I'm gonna meet ya', I'll meet ya'
I will drive past your house and if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya'
I'll get ya', I'll get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna see ya'
I'm gonna meet ya', meet ya', meet ya', meet ya'
One day maybe next week ,I'm gonna meet ya'
I'll meet ya' ah
And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hangin' out
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya'
I'm gonna give you the slip
A slip of the lip or another I'm gonna lose ya'
I'm gonna trick ya', I'll trick ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya'
I'm gonna trick ya', trick ya', trick ya', trick ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya'
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all, find out who ya' call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout, some specials and rat food
Get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna get ya'
I'll get ya'
I'll get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Where I can see it all, find out who ya' call


3.Picture This

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

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


4.Fade Away And Radiate

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Ooh baby I hear you spend night time:
Wrapped like candy in a blue blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate
Ooh baby watchful lines vibrate soft in brainwave time
Silver pictures move so slow
Golden tubes faintly glow
Electric faces seem to merge
Hidden voices mock your words
Fade away and radiate
The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen
Fade away and radiate
Fade away and radiate
Dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955
Fade away and radiate


5.Pretty Baby

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

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


6.I Know But I Don't Know

Lyrics:Infante
Music:Infante

'Hey y'know?'
'Uh I dunno'
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I give but I don't get
I will but I won't yet
I lose but I don't bet
I'm your dog but not your pet
Now I know but I don't care
Then I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I care but I don't care
I could but I won't be
You can but not with me
It's all a mystery
Locked out without a key
Now I care but I don't care
And I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I know but I don't know
Now I know that you don't know
And I see that you don't see
I care but I don't care
I don't care that you don't know


7.11:59

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist
Don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten
Time is running out
Lock up all your memories
Get outa here you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive
Hanging on a frequency burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down
It's getting late I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here
Time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive


8.Will Anything Happen?

Lyrics:Jack Lee
Music:Jack Lee

I always said you could make it
I know what I said and I meant it
I always liked the way you played guitar
I always knew that someday you'd go far
And if you do will anything happen?
Will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
You said you'd be through here again
Please don't forget I'm here waiting
You always said that you would never change
Like the people that you've met and the places that you've been
And if you do will anything happen?
Will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
I always said you could make it
Just don't forget that I said it
Cause I always liked the way you played guitar
And I always knew that someday you'd go far
And if you do will anything happen?
will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
And if I do will anything happen?


9.Sunday Girl

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

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'll 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 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
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


10.Heart Of Glass

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

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


11.I'm Gonna Love You Too

Lyrics:Mauldin/Sullivan/Petty
Music:Mauldin/Sullivan/Petty

You're gonna say you miss me
You're gonna say you'll kiss me
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
After all I'm not very particular
But I still can't overlook ya'
I'm gonna do my best to hook ya' after all is said and done
I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me and you're gonna say you love me
'Cause I'm gonna love you too
You're gonna tell me sweet things
You're gonna make my heart sing and I'm gonna hear bells ring
'Cause I'm gonna love you too
You're gonna say you miss me and you're gonna say you'll kiss me
And you're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too


12.Just Go Away

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

Oh don't ya' know?
Don't wanna see ya' any more
Put up or shut up
ya' spell ya' read DOOR
ya' got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be
If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the federal communications board
Don't be cruel
Be a thing sweet thing as a rule
Don't be sad
I left you in the street
You're pre-fab
I had to get away
Don't go away sad
Don't go pre-fab
Don't go be bad
Don't go away mad just go away
Oh don't ya' know?
Don't wanna see ya' here no more
Pack it and move it
ya' spell ya' read OUT out
Don't be bad
A mad hatter's beret
Sometimes you look like you just made an escape
Don't be mad or lose your medicaid cool
Of course cool rhymes with fool
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had
Don't go away sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away!
Oh don't ya' know?
I don't wanna see ya' curse and pout
Pack it and move it
ya' spell ya' read OUT out
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had
Don't go away sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away!
Go away!
Go away and stay away!
