[Chorus]
Esta es la casa
Este es el cerro
Esta la historia
Es algo chiquitito

[Verse 1]
This is the house
This is the hill
This is the story
It's a little thing
A lock of hair
An invisible smoke trail
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh, everything changes

[Verse 2]
This is your picture
It's in black and white
This is the family
Having a party
There's a crack in the ceiling
And there's an open door
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh, everything changes

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Esta es la casa
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Esta la historia
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Es algo chiquitito
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
This is the house
This is the hill
This is the story
It's a little thing
A lock of hair
An invisible smoke trail
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh, everything changes

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
This is the house

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.
