I'm gonna put it all behind me like nothing ever happened between us
Nothing ever took place between you and me
Yeah, nothing ever happened
And if you see me walking down the street
I won't even recognize you
I'll just erase you from my memory
Put it all behind me becaue you are erased
Oh, erased

You'll be sitting on someone else's couch
You'll be eating off a stranger's plate
Everything is gonna get wiped out
Like a new start, like a brand-new, fresh clean slate, yeah
Well here I go remembering again
All the anger and the blame
People in glass houses shouldn't throw those stones
But something just flew through my windowpane

I'll be in a brand-new pair of running shoes
And you'll be walking on down different street
In a brand new suit and a fresh clean shirt
Making telephone calls
Keeping in time with someone else's feet
Keeping in time with someone else's feet

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
