Helen Love - Debbie Loves Joey Lyrics

They met in nineteen-eighty at the school disco
He kissed her for the first time on the last bus home
He said 'you be dirty Harry, I'll be Joey Ramone

She saw shooting stars flash by
The moon exploded in the sky
Her heart flipped when they kissed
Star dust on her lips
Special pact in the dark
Getting pissed in the park
She's in love
She's in love

And when they walked downtown all the people would stare
They used to laugh at her clothes and the color of their hair
She was seventeen and she didn't care
'Cause baby's gonna take her everywhere

'Cause he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was Joey Ramone
Yeah he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was Joey
He was Joey Ramone

When she met him she was standing in a pure white light
He said do you like the Sex Pistols
Have you got a light?
And all the stars were shining on a perfect saturday night
Holding him tight
Kissing him in the dark
In the back of daddy's car
Have a drink
Have a laugh
Do you want my autograph
No school
Summer's out
Make me wanna twist and shout
Down on the beaches lookin' at the peaches

And when they walked downtown all the people would stare
They used to laugh at her clothes and the color of their hair
She was seventeen and she didn't care
'Cause baby's gonna take her everywhere
'Cause he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was Joey Ramone
Yeah he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was joey
He was Joey Ramone

'Cause he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was Joey Ramone
Yeah he said they'd live in New York
And the stars would be their own
She was dirty harry and he was Joey
He was Joey Ramone
