He was the kinda guy
I liked the way he looked
He had a red silk tie
He had a forties suit

And I said - "You're the kind of person
I've been longing to adore"
"You're the kind of person
I've been waiting for"

He said - "The time is right to take a chance
'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance"
"So come on baby let's go outside
I've got a car in the drive and we can take a ride"

"So let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo"
"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo"

Well - we went driving for an hour or so
Till we took the little Chevy down to Mexico
And I said - "Blue eyed boy, you know I love the way you look"
"Why don't we find a preacher who can get us hooked?"
"You know the time is right to take a chance
'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance"

And the great big moon
Was a shinin' down
He said "Forget about the preacher man
Let's do it on the ground!"

"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo"
"Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo"

Eurythmics

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie 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.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
