Blondie

Songwriter: Gary Valentine

Producer: Richard Gottehrer

We took too long to park the car
Ran across the street into the bar
Your face said it was four o'clock
I closed my eyes and hear a shot
The traffic lights were much too hot
I walked my eyes around the block
Purple shadows were so thin
I had to close my eyes again
I didn't know they were important to you
I thought their faces were a poster
Natural things, scenery
You showed me your kind of madness
Saw sound slipping silently
Time passenger to future shock
I closed my eyes and saw you drop

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
