Plastic Letters

Blondie Plastic Letters Lyrics
1.Fan Mail

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
I sold my one vision, for a piece of the cake
I haven't ate in days
For unspoken value aesthetic and charm
I'd smile at you sideways
But the lighting is wrong
I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing
I set my hand to writing you, it drifted of the page
I nearly fell I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini two
Play to the posters on the wall of my room
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
In my ear bells are ringing


2.Denis

Lyrics:Levenson
Music:Levenson

Oh Denis ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Denis, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Denis, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Denis, Denis oh with your eyes so blue
Denis, Denis, I've got a crush on you
Denis, Denis, I'm so in love with you
Oh when we walk it always feels so nice
And when we talk it seems like paradise
Denis, Denis, I'm so in love with you
You're my king and I'm in heaven every time I look at you
When you smile it's like a dream
And I'm so lucky, 'cause I found a boy like you
Denis, Denis, avee tes yeux si bleus
Denis, Denis, Quand j'ai peche' pour deux
Denis, Denis, Pour un baiser d'eternite'
Denis, Denis, Je suis folle de toi
Denis, Denis, Embrasse moi ce soir
Denis, Denis, Pour un baiser d'eternite
Oh Denis, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Denis, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you
Denis, ooh-be-do, I'm in love with you


3.Bermuda Triangle Blues(Flight 45)

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Flight 45 was last seen alive on the runway
leaving for some fun in the hot tropic sun, back next monday
And our friends are at the airport
Cousin Bill says; 'Enjoy the water sports'
As we fly into the mystery, the film comes on and the Earth
recedes
Several hours out 20 minutes south of Bermuda
The communication's gone something has to be so wrong
And it must be Jesus calling
The silver ship the blue sea falling
Death was in that poison wave and in it's gulf a fitting grave
The coast guard said they might be found
They know just where the plane went down


4.Youth Nabbed As Sniper

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Don't look in here yeah
Sundown finds him out of town on the overpass
His inner self glued to his 22
Dirty metal in the speed of night lights and broken glass
My heart can destroy all I see
Moving streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can hide us far from sight
But you must wait and I must fight this nothingness
Walls I see my little room
I hear my parent's friends
I hope that my actions make amends!
I would like to kill for love but I don't know how
Here I lie so high above the crowd
Busy streets all make me lonely
Come to me and be mine only
I can move us through the night
But you must wait and I must fight this emptiness
Black top burns with silent screams
Others stop my dreams
Lightning Crash! Crash! Crash!
Fear causes some to live others die real cool
I died in the evening after school
Be mine only
Be my own
Be mine only
Be my own


5.Contact In Red Square

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Although I'm young, I got a job to do
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe
Call it a business trip
Got to hide inside my trenchcoat and be clever
I got my papers and a cyanide pill
My polaroid's a taser in disguise
There's a base in the hills
And the wheat fields looks like Kansas in November
Astrovia sweet comrade your nation is your gun
Your love reads like the perfumed note you sent me
One last contact in red square
Unless I have to run and the long arms of the KGB detect me
Can't trust a soul secret messenger
Just the rules that lie like circuits in your brain
And a cool 45, the wind is ice and foreign air tastes strange
Bang! Bang! You're dead!
No one left to worry
Kiss me quick now I have to hurry
Our last contact in red square
Unless I have to run
And the long arms of the CIA detect me
Hey!


6.I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear

Lyrics:Valentine
Music:Valentine

Was it destiny?
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance?
Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear
When we play at cards you use an extra sense
It's really not cheating, you know?
You can read my hand I've got no defense
When you send your messages, whispered loud and clear
I'm always touched by your presence dear
Floating pass the evidence of possibilities
We could navigate together psychic frequencies
Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophy
Stay awake at night and count your REM's
When you're talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear


7.I'm On E

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

I'm on E
I'm on E
I'm on E
Got nuts' to say
I used to have a car of my own
I'm on E
I'm on E
I'm on E for easy
Laid out for maybe a week
I've walked my feet to the bone
I'd give my life for a car of my own
I'm on E
I'm on E
Two weeks ago saturday I was on TV
I'd like a show of my own
But you see I'm still on E
Even though everything is happening to me
So when your driving' on home, don't regret your loan
I'm on E
I'm on E
I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie
I feel like gassin' my feet
They've totaled your bill and you skipped a beat
I used to have a car of my own
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump do the bump
Still on E I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to stop my feet
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump do the bump
Still on E I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to fill my feet up


8.I Didn't Have The Nerve To Say No

Lyrics:Harry/Destri
Music:Harry/Destri

You got ants in your pants
I don't understand
I don't trust a blink of your eyes
You're a viper and love's your keeper
You said something profane and went for a vein
But in spite of your 'delicate touch'
I should have known as much, another bleeder
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no
You caught me surprised and my will resigned
Torture the minds of them all
You're a brain drain you'd better beat it
I'm following lines
The blind leads the blind
So hang me or grant me a stay
You better cut me loose or hand me a noose
I didn't have the nerve to say no
I didn't have the nerve to say no
No, no, no, no
(Repeat)
You said something profane and went for a vein
But in spite of your 'delicate touch'
I should have known as much, another bleeder
There's no end to the problem of a bad situation
Complication
No, no, no, no, ah
There's no end to the problem and frustration
I need a vacation
No no no no ah
And I know I couldn't
And I know that I couldn't say no


9.Love At The Pier

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

We fell in love down at the pier
You were sunburnt and I was around
Soon we were sharing a beer
We fell in love at the pier
I'm no sentimental slob, so don't think I'm queer
You got something' baby and it ain't just my beer
Well maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat
Or was it the sneakers you kicked off your feet?
I sat under my umbrella, to keep my pearly skin
You tanned your oily body, looking like sin
Well soon I was sweating' and I wanted to leave
You slipped into the water from to much grease
Well I saw you yelling
I just couldn't hear
So I screamed back at ya, 'Honey keep the beer!'
We never consummated our outside love affair
Too much tar and water
Too much hot air
Oh what a tragic end to love that was lost
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost but
We fell in love down at pier
You were sunbathing I was around
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
No more love splinters in my rear end


10.No Imagination

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Eyes that tell me baby you don't need no invitation
Let me smoke another cigarette, before I make a move
I can see me in the morning
Losing my direction deep inside my overcoat looking for the door
I don't wanna stay with you
I just wanna play with you
One sweet abbreviation sleeping like the dead
You think you're pretty well so do I
You came to me but passion dies
Got no imagination to clutter up my head
Eyes that mirror innocence and cannot sense the changes
Lets have another drink dear, before we get deranged
I can see me in the morning, avoiding your detection
Slowly down the staircase looking for the door
All is fair in love and war
But I don't want your love no more
One sweet abbreviation, sleeping like the dead
You're fragile and you're very green
Conditioned by a milk machine
Got no imagination
Got no imagination
Take a walk kid
Eyes that tell me, baby you don't need no invitation
Let me smoke another cigarette before I make a move
I can see me in the morning losing my direction
Deep inside my overcoat footsteps for the door


11.Kidnapper

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Uh oh, you've got a nervous face
Twitching eyes like Norman Bates
You got a cigarette eye on a mirror
Farm boy brown gas station sweeper
You took that girl, you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen she's her daddy's apple
And she don't know you're the kidnapper uh-huh
Uh hey, your daddy's Whiskey Sam
He's got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland
Playing solitaire your mother fidgets
You wanna be rich but you won't dig ditches
She bitches like a brat
She got the money
People breaking their necks and she thinks it's funny
Where's your old man now?
Nobody's home uh-huh
Kidnapper
Uh hey, they call you Skinny Jim
And nobody knows the foam you're in
They dipped your tail when you were back in school
Well you're a real strange case, but your nobody's fool
So you took that girl and you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen
She's fresh out of diapers
And she don't know your the kidnapper uh-huh


12.Detroit 442

Lyrics:Stein/Destri
Music:Stein/Destri

You know he can't be tested
He can't be read or found
Urban gray takes breath away
He wants to push his pedal to the ground
And the night's what's right
Puts him at the wheel
Well I eat danger
Any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O
Dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442
Maybe baby I can ride with you
This town's a concrete factory and dad and mom look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly line
Too late now
Too far behind!
You said you wanna hang around
No one really cares where you go
Take your time
Things never change
In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you
One more to market one more pig in
And they all come to find me yeah


13.Cautious Lip

Lyrics:Toast/Stein
Music:Toast/Stein

All the way down do it
Another way down
Why yeah
What do you know huh?
I seen you skip that cautious lip
Now tell me this through that cautious lip
You can be bit as I make you it
I seen you skip that cautious lip
A chance you'll fit that cautious lip
It's just these things not really gifts
It's just these things not really gifts
I seen you skip that cautious lip
I seen you skip that cautious lip, but never miss my bouncing
hips
A girl so sweet
A love so strong
I seen you skip I see you tip
You can be bit as I make you it
I seen you skip that cautious lip
Ah I seen you skip that cautious lip
Ah
Cautious lip cautious lip
You can be bit
I'll make you it
I seen you skip
Cautious lip
Change your fit
Skip of the lip
Oh oh not really get
Skip lip oh, oh arggghhhhh, ah ah!
What's going on?
No way
