La la la la la la... Dara... dada
La la la la la la... Dara... dada!
Yeah!

No-one on earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart, yeah

I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom!
It's an orchestra of angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

No-one on earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart, yeah

And when I think that I'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home
It's a multitude of angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)
(Must be talking to an angel)

I must be hallucinating
Watching angels celebrating
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating?

This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention
Leavin' me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection

I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom!
It's an orchestra of angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah

Yeah... La la la la la la... Harder... Harder...
La la la la la la... Harder... Harder... Yeah!

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.
