Blondie The Complete Picture Lyrics
1.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


2.I Want That Man

Lyrics:Currie/Bailey
Music:Currie/Bailey

I wanna Dance with Harry Dean
Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I want a piece of heaven before I die
I wanna pair of pink high heels
That catch the lights up on the Ferris wheel
What I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna move like what's-his-name
I'll keep the money
You can have the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine
Yeah I wanna be the Queen of the USA
You could send me roses every other day
What I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna be kissed from head to toe
By that man in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
What I really want I just can't hide
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man

4.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, J'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille
Il semblait dans un autre monde (Va) te
Cacher Sunday Girl Quand je t'ai revu (l'?

Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attend
J'ai le cafard, je t'en pris viens voir

Kisses hard kisses deep, a kiss to wake us from our sleep

7.Rapture

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said 'My My'
Flash is fast flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with
cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
back to back, body muscular
Seismic movement, bite the jugular
One to one, tea-time technology and a digital ardour
No sign of Saviour in Rapture
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle
with the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!


8.Brite Side

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Whenever I collapse
Whenever I fold in your arms
That's when I know I'm holding you
Holding you
Within my grasp
Whenever I feel trapped
Held by the inescapable
I try to put my mind at ease
Protect the heart worn on my sleeve
That's when I feel brand new
I'm looking on the brite side
I've got my visuals
I'm looking on the brite side
My 20-20's true
I'm looking on the brite side
That's when I know it's you
Whenever I'm in red
A guardian angel's flying round my head
I feel your touch
Warm as red's
Embarrassment innocence blush
That's when I feel brand new
I'm looking on the brite side
I've got my visuals
I'm looking on the brite side
My 20-20's true
I'm looking on the brite side
That's when I know it's you
Whenever I'm in bed
I see myself in wide-screen love scene
Close-up
I'm holding you, holding you
We're wrapped in blue
I'm looking on the brite side
I'm looking on the brite side


9.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 theosophies
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


10.Well, Did You Evah?

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter

I have heard among this clan
You are called the forgotten man
(Is that what they're sayin')
Well, did you evah!
What a swell party this is
And have you heard the story of
A boy, a girl, unrequited love
(Sounds like pure soap opera - I may cry)
What a swell party this is
What frails
What cocks
What broads
What jocks
What furs - they're beautiful
Why I've never seen such yuppity!
Neither did I
It's all just too swellegant
This French champagne (domestic)
So good for the brain
That's what I was gonna say
Well you know you're a brilliant fellow
Thank you I am
Drink up Jim
So have you ever been out to L.A. lately?
Well no not recently
Well I went there 'n' had a renta car 'n' all
Oh really!
I got invited to Pia's house Pia Zadora's house
Really was that nice?
Well I didn't go
Oh!
It woulda been swell though
Shoulda gone
It woulda been elegant
Elegant
Oh! Wait, look. Look who's comin' in now
I hear they dismantled Pickfair
It wasn't elegant enough
Probably full of termites
Yeah
It's great, it's grand
Wah wah wah wah wah wha wah wah
Wonderland
La la la la la la la la la la la lahhh
We sing, so rare
Like old Camembert
Have you heard the dying star
She got bit in the Astra bar
(Soused again)
Well did you evah!
What a swell party this is
Have you heard- it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Well did you evah!
What a swell party
What a swell party
What a swell party
What a swellegant
Elegant, party
Smarty,
Party
A Smarty party
I am a Smarty
You are a smarty for coming to this party
Yeah that's right
Now piss off!!!
That's clever I like that one.


11.The Tide Is High

Lyrics:Reid/Holt
Music:Reid/Holt

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
It's not the things you do, that tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things, you do to me
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm gonna be your number one, your, number one


12.In Love With Love

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

In love with love
In love with a passionalte heart
In love with love
In love even when we're apart
I wondered the difference
of how it sould last

of champagne in glass
no wonder

why I'm
In love with love
In love with a passionalte heart
In love with love
In love even when we're apart
We love through the fighting
of every day life
Of glass that gets broken
and cuts like a knife
I wonder
adn I wonder
why
I'm
In love with love
In love with a passionalte heart
In love with love
then on with the delicate march
Glazed with reflection
our hot house is set
blazing with a
flaming with a
fire it's so passionately
reacing with a
chaser it's so
hard to keep my wits about me
In love with love
In love with a passionalte heart
In love with love
on fire with a passionalte heart


13.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!

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

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

16.Dreaming

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

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
Mee,t 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

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Hey psst psst here she comes now
Oh you know her

Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
Oh you know her 'Miss Groupie Supreme'
Yeah you know her 'Vera Vogue' on parade
Red eye shadow
Green mascara
Yuck

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She got the nerve to tell me she's not 'on it'
But her expression is too serene
Yeah she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull
Rip her to shreds
Oh you know her 'Miss Groupie Supreme'
Yeah you know her 'Vera Vogue' on parade
Yeah you know her with the fish eating grin
She's so dull
Yeah she got the nerve to tell me
Huh she's so dull
Yeah there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon
