\"Lyric<\/a>I believe I first heard this week’s Lyric of the Week on a CD Tree I participated in several years ago. Always a favorite track when it comes up randomly on my iPod.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Debbie Loves Joey<\/em><\/a> by Helen Love<\/a> (from 2007’s It’s My Club And I’ll Play What I Want To<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

They met in 1980 at the school disco<\/em>
\nHe kissed her for the first time on the last bus home<\/em>
\nHe said “You be Debbie Harry, I’ll be Joey Ramone.”<\/em><\/p>\n

She saw shooting stars flash by<\/em>
\nThe moon exploded in the sky<\/em>
\nHer heart flipped when they kissed<\/em>
\nStar dust on her lips<\/em>
\nSpecial pact in the dark<\/em>
\nGetting pissed in the park<\/em>
\nShe’s in love, <\/em>she’s in love<\/em><\/p>\n

And when they walked downtown all the people would stare<\/em>
\nThey used to laugh at her clothes and the color of their hair<\/em>
\nShe was 17 and she didn’t care<\/em>
\n‘Cause baby’s gonna take her everywhere<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Cause he said they’d live in New York<\/em>
\nAnd the stars would be their own<\/em>
\nShe was Debbie Harry and he was Joey Ramone<\/em>
\nYeah he said they’d live in New York<\/em>
\nAnd the stars would be their own<\/em>
\nShe was Debbie Harry and he was Joey<\/em>
\nHe was Joey Ramone<\/em><\/p>\n

When she met him she was standing in a pure white light<\/em>
\nHe said “You like the Sex Pistols,<\/em> have you got a light?”<\/em>
\nAnd all the stars were shining on a perfect Saturday night<\/em>
\nHolding him tight<\/em><\/p>\n

Kissing him in the dark <\/em>in the back of daddy’s car<\/em>
\nHave a drink<\/em>, have a laugh<\/em>
\nDo you want my autograph?<\/em>
\nNo school<\/em>, summer’s out<\/em>
\nMake me wanna twist and shout<\/em>
\nDown on the beaches, lookin’ at the peaches.<\/em><\/p>\n
