[Verse 1]
Six o'clock in the morning
And I'm stepping through the streets
The pavement's cold and empty
Got the blues beneath my feet
Big old sun is rising up
So elegant and thin
Another day is over
For a new day will begin

[Chorus]
And the word said, "Hey!"
It's a brand new day
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!

[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, baby, baby
I dreamed about you
Please tell me, tell me, tell me
What I've seen could not be true
You have taken my existance
You have filled it full of stones
You have turned into a stranger
Now I need to walk alone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't be sad
I won't be destroyed
But I won't be...
No, I won't be sad
I won't be destroyed

[Bridge]
And the word said...
It's a brand new...
And the word said...
Listen to the word, listen to the word
Listen to the word, listen to the word
It's a brand new...
It's just a got to say, it's just a got to say
And the word said, "Hey!"
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
New day, brand day
And the word said, "Hey!"
New day, brand day
It's a brand new day

[Chorus]
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!
And the word said, "Hey!"
Hey! Hey!
It's a brand new day
Hey! Hey!

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.
