Catalogue Note

"When I met you in a restaurant you could tell I was no debutant. You asked me what's my pleasure. A movie or a measure. I'd  have a cup of tea. Tell me of my dreaming. Debbie Harry". 

The last sentence was originally: "and tell you all my dreaming". The song, released as single in 1979, was the hit on Blondie's 4th album Eat to the Beat.
