The Complete Picture - The Very Best Of Deborah Harry And Blondie

(heypsst psst, here she comes now.)
Oh, you know her.
Would ya look at that hair!
Yeah, you know her,
Check out those shoes.
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues.
She looks like the sunday comics!
She thinks she's brenda starr.
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's too much.
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".

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.

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.
D.j. 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.
Well now you see what you wanna be.
Just have your party on t.v.
'cause the man from mars won't eat up bars where the t.v'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.
'cause the man from mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars.
Get up!

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?
Reel to reel 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.

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.

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.
You.
You.

Whenever i'm in bed i see myself in wide-screen love scenes close-up.
I'm holding you, holding you.
We're wrapped in blue.

I'm looking on the brite side.

Love's touch comes to mean so much.
Embrasser c'est francais.
Love's way, s'abandonner.
Slip into the velvet glove, parted lips so filled with love.
Lips upon forbidden places, lingering in long embraces.
French kissin' in the usa!
Lips are in motion.
Ocean to ocean to ocean, ocean to ocean to ocean.
Paris is calling!
Falling, we're falling, we're falling, falling, we're falling, we're falling.
Lips close, then blossom like a rose.
Lips wide holding you inside.
Kisses hard, kisses deep, a kiss to wake us from our sleep.
Take your lover by the hand, speak in tounges and understand.
