As he did so, her body slammed backwards
At first it was my impresion when I saw her eyes that she was sleeping
But she was already dead
He called her name

Cold
Dead
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,–sweetheart!

Oh yes, he called her name …

Look at the mess
In your party dress
Baby’s gone blue

That fixed expression
She was already dead

Who are you going to send flowers to?
Who are you going to send flowers to?

Oh yes, he called her name
I’ll never forget about that, that fixed
Expression
It didn’t feel right

Cold
Dead
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,–sweetheart!

He called her name
Crash out
Alcohol

Look at the mess
In your party dress
Baby’s gone blue

Did you hear about that?
At first it seemed...
But she was dead
Her body slammed backwards
The first thing
The first thing, alcohol
It didn’t feel right
But she was already dead

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.
