Annie Lennox
Annie Lennox - Love Is Blind
Oh sugar, when you gonna come
(Oh sugar, when you gonna come)
Oh sugar, when you gonna come
(Oh sugar, when you gonna come)
I spend my life getting older
But you still got me on the run
(when you going to come)
Oh sweetness, when will you be mine
(Oh sweetness, when will you be mine)
Oh sweetness, when will you be mine
(Oh [...]
Annie Lennox - Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye
Ev’ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev’ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
think so little of me they allow you to go.
When you’re near there’s such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing [...]
Annie Lennox - What’s Goin On?
Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today - Ya
Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ [...]
Annie Lennox - Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Hold your head up
Keep your head up
Movin’ on
Annie Lennox - Why
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
But when I start to try to tell you
That’s when you have to tell me
Hey… this kind of trouble’s only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That’s why [...]
Annie Lennox - Walking On Broken Glass
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you
Since you’ve abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won’t you pick the pieces up
’cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky
But it [...]
Annie Lennox - Little Bird
I look up to the little bird
That glides across the sky
He sings the clearest melody
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to sit right down
and cry cry cry
I walk along the city streets
So dark with rage and fear
And I…
I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
I wish I had [...]
Annie Lennox - A 1000 Beautiful Things
Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it’s hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So… light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close [...]
Annie Lennox - The Saddest Song
Darling are you feeling
The same thing that I’m seeing
The troubles of the day
Took my breath away
Took my breath away
Now you’re no longer talking
And I’m no longer listening
There’s nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway
And I want you not
And I need you not
I’m dying
Cos this is the saddest song I’ve got
The saddest song I’ve got
Darling [...]
Annie Lennox - No More “I Love You’s”
I used to be lunatic from the gracious days
I used to be woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh but now…
(I don’t find myself bouncing home whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)
No more “I love you’s”
The language is leaving me
No more “I love you’s”
Changes are shifting outside the [...]
