(CHORUS)
Heaven - is the whole of the heart
And heaven - don't tear you apart
Yeah heaven - is the whole of the heart
And heaven - don't tear you apart
There's too many kings
Wanna hold you down
And a world at the window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky
Where the sun don't shine
And clock on the wall
And it counts my time

(CHORUS)
There's a song on the air
With a love-you line
And a face in the glass
And it looks like mine
And I'm standing on ice when I say
That i don't hear planes
And i scream at the fools
Wanna jump my train

(CHORUS)

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.
