[Verse 1]
Here come old flat-top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please

[Verse 2]
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free

[Chorus]
Come together, right now
Over me

[Verse 3]
He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease

[Chorus]
Come together, right now
Over me

[Verse 4]
He roller-coaster
He got early warnin'
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-lookin'
Cause he's so hard to see

[Chorus]
Come together, right now
Over me

[Outro]
Come together
Yeah!
Come together
Come together
Come together
Yeah!
Come together

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.
