Oh... sugar
When ya gonna come?
I spend my life gettin older
But you still got me on the run
When ya gonna come?
Oh. . sweetness
When will you mine?
I spend my days getting' colder
But I still want you all the time
Oh the grass is growin greener
On the other side
Nothing else has meaning
When I got you on my mind
I so wanna see you
Don't they say that love is blind?
Oh love is blind
Love is blind
I got so much trouble gettin into this
Can't decide if its hell or bliss
Sometimes I feel like I dont exist
Cut my veins and slit my wrists
Goodbye
Goodbye
That's all she wrote
As she tied that knot around her throat
Wipe my eyes
Dry my tears
Wait for you for a thousand years
Oh lover
Make me yours again
Even though your thrill is gone
All my fellins still remain
Even though your thrill is gone
I'm gonna love you just the same
Can't you see that i'm addicted
To the notion of a someone
Who could take me from this wretched state
Save me from the bitterness and hatred of humanity
Its so screwed up
Tired of bein' down on luck
Tired of bein' beaten up
Tired of bein' so screwed up
Tired of all this desperation
Tired of all this mad frustration
Tired of all the aggravation
Sick and tired of devastation
Give it some consideration
Smithereens lyrics - annie lennox
I saw your picture
It made me sorry
For all the things
I never said
It seems that you
Have cause to worry
It seems that you
Don't wish me well
Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things
You've not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress
So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens
I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you
And creep up slowly
We're only human
Behind the mask
So don't take me down
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
And you say
Everybody is an island of their own
And you say
Everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
I didn't mean to break it down
I didn't mean to smithereens
Everybody is an island to themselves
Don't you know
Everybody is an island to themselves
It made me sorry
For all the things
I never said
It seems that you
Have cause to worry
It seems that you
Don't wish me well
Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things
You've not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress
So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens
I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you
And creep up slowly
We're only human
Behind the mask
So don't take me down
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
And you say
Everybody is an island of their own
And you say
Everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
I didn't mean to break it down
I didn't mean to smithereens
Everybody is an island to themselves
Don't you know
Everybody is an island to themselves
Ghosts In My Machine lyrics - annie lennox
Oh come and take this pain away
Oh come and take this pain away
Oh come and set my spirit free
I've seen too much
I know too much
I hurt too much
I feel too much
I dread too much
I dream too much
I'm caught up by the ghosts in my machine
I'm bruised and battered by the storm
Can't find a place to keep me warm
My mind is broken and forlorn
I think too much
I do too much
I fall too much
I fail too much
I cry too much
I die too much
I'm haunted by the ghosts in my machine
Give me some of that medicine
To make me forget
(i can't find it)
I need something easier
(can't find it)
'cuz I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it
Oh no no no
Oh womankind was born of pain
My soul keeps hurting just the same
Oh come and take this pain away
I give too much
Get used too much
I lose too much
Get bruised too much
I bleed too much
I need too much
I'm sleeping with the ghosts in my machine
I said I love you baby
Guess I always do
I said I love to baby
Guess I always do
I said I love you baby
Guess I always do
Oh come and take this pain away
Oh come and set my spirit free
I've seen too much
I know too much
I hurt too much
I feel too much
I dread too much
I dream too much
I'm caught up by the ghosts in my machine
I'm bruised and battered by the storm
Can't find a place to keep me warm
My mind is broken and forlorn
I think too much
I do too much
I fall too much
I fail too much
I cry too much
I die too much
I'm haunted by the ghosts in my machine
Give me some of that medicine
To make me forget
(i can't find it)
I need something easier
(can't find it)
'cuz I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it
Oh no no no
Oh womankind was born of pain
My soul keeps hurting just the same
Oh come and take this pain away
I give too much
Get used too much
I lose too much
Get bruised too much
I bleed too much
I need too much
I'm sleeping with the ghosts in my machine
I said I love you baby
Guess I always do
I said I love to baby
Guess I always do
I said I love you baby
Guess I always do
Womankind lyrics - annie lennox
One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out
Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shinin'
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver linin'
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It's not part of my destination
I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things
And all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinkin' that I want to get too close to you
Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waitin '
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer
I'm clearly statin'
I need to change this circumstance
You could be the best damn thing
That hasnt happened yet to me
You could be the best thing
To come into my mythology
We could have the kinda dream they call a great affinity
Want to turn it into something like reality
Hold me now
I'm tired of waitin'
Hold me now
1'm askin' you
Hold me now
No more anticipatin'
Why won't you come to my rescue?
Ooh babys got precious eyes
And when he smiles
The sun comes blastin'
I wish that feellin' of contentment
Would be everlasting
I would be so happy
To give him all my dedication
I would be so happy
But its only my imagination
Ooh...
This is for the womankind
Ooh...
Singin' for the womankiho
Ooh...
Thats right for the womankind
Ooh...
How many doors must I go through
These constant dreams that I pursue
I can see possibilities in you
Yea here we go again
Is this too good to be true?
I had this thing galled love
Still don't know what it is
Maybe i've had enough
Oh save me please
All my wants are becoming needs
Tell me what you feel
Stripped bare for you to see
Yea every desire go through the fire
This is what I give of me
If I could just be free
Baby won't you rescue me?
Baby won't you rescue me?
Every desire go through the fire
Lay me down
I wanna be
Under your skin
This is for the womankind
Check it out
Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shinin'
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver linin'
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It's not part of my destination
I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things
And all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinkin' that I want to get too close to you
Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waitin '
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer

Through The Glass Darkly lyrics - annie lennox
I'm caught up in the middle
But I'll take it to the end
It's comin back together
And it's breakin' down again
If I could find a reason
I'd say you were my friend
If I could find a reason
I'd say it once again
When I'm with you the days are bittersweet
Still I can't remember what it feels to be complete
I've tried pretending
But it drives me of my feet
I don't know what its coming to
But I'm looking through
The glass darkly... yea
Bright lights
Come and go
Playin' blues songs on my radio
Shadows still. appear
In the house tonight
Ooh yea
Ghosts that come in from the past
All those ghosts that keep on comin' back
Slidin' through the walls
And my windows
Ooh yea
When I'm with you
The nights are cold and long
Still can't remember what
It feels like to be strong
I've tried to blend in
But it seems I don't belong
I don't know what it's comin' to
But I'm looking through the glass darkly... yea
Can I find you? can I find you? I can't find you... yea
But I'll take it to the end
It's comin back together
And it's breakin' down again
If I could find a reason
I'd say you were my friend
If I could find a reason
I'd say it once again
When I'm with you the days are bittersweet
Still I can't remember what it feels to be complete
I've tried pretending
But it drives me of my feet
I don't know what its coming to
But I'm looking through
The glass darkly... yea
Bright lights
Come and go
Playin' blues songs on my radio
Shadows still. appear
In the house tonight
Ooh yea
Ghosts that come in from the past
All those ghosts that keep on comin' back
Slidin' through the walls
And my windows
Ooh yea
When I'm with you
The nights are cold and long
Still can't remember what
It feels like to be strong
I've tried to blend in
But it seems I don't belong
I don't know what it's comin' to
But I'm looking through the glass darkly... yea
Can I find you? can I find you? I can't find you... yea
Lost lyrics - annie lennox
This is the sound of the planes in the night
Coming out of the darkness
And into the light
Shining alarmingly
Curiously bright
This is the sound of those murderous drums
The marching of footsteps
The twisting of thumbs
Over and over
Again here it comes
We're lost
(baby come again don't let me fall)
We're lost
(baby come again despite it all)
Were lost
(baby come)
(baby come)
Tell me the story
'bout when you were young
I want to hear it again
Leave in the part
Where the hero gets stung
I want to savour it
I want to play it again
This is the sound of a baby's first breath
The dying of footsteps
The touching of flesh
To hold in your memory
To keep by your chest
We're lost
So lost
Lost
Coming out of the darkness
And into the light
Shining alarmingly
Curiously bright
This is the sound of those murderous drums
The marching of footsteps
The twisting of thumbs
Over and over
Again here it comes
We're lost
(baby come again don't let me fall)
We're lost
(baby come again despite it all)
Were lost
(baby come)
(baby come)
Tell me the story
'bout when you were young
I want to hear it again
Leave in the part
Where the hero gets stung
I want to savour it
I want to play it again
This is the sound of a baby's first breath
The dying of footsteps
The touching of flesh
To hold in your memory
To keep by your chest
We're lost
So lost
Lost
Coloured Bedspread lyrics - annie lennox
Bright lights are growing dim
I wanna hide again
The nights are cavin' in
On my coloured bedspread
I wanna drift so far
To slip out of the crowd
It doesn't matter how
On my coloured bedspread
You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth
Some people come and go
But they won't ever know
About the things we do
On my coloured bedspread
I remember places ive been to
Remember things I never knew
Remember dreams that all came true
On my coloured bedspread
We make the stars collide
I touch the planets
Through your eyes
Can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it now?
You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth
I wanna hide again
The nights are cavin' in
On my coloured bedspread
I wanna drift so far
To slip out of the crowd
It doesn't matter how
On my coloured bedspread
You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth
Some people come and go
But they won't ever know
About the things we do
On my coloured bedspread
I remember places ive been to
Remember things I never knew
Remember dreams that all came true
On my coloured bedspread
We make the stars collide
I touch the planets
Through your eyes
Can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it now?
You make the stars dissolve
Like sugar melting in my mouth

Big Sky lyrics - annie lennox
Big sky
I'm gonna hurt you
Big sky
You'll remember this
Big sky
Up above the rain
How can I ever put a stop to it?
Look you in the face again
Big sky
I'll never let you go
Big sky
Baby I told you so
Big sky
Look at this swollen pride
I got so busy lookin' out for you
When were you by my side?
When I'm breathin'
When I'm sleepin'
I can't think of nothing else
All my longing'
All my waiting'
All my wailin'
All my standin' on the shelf
How am I ever gonna get through this
Back to myself again?
Big sky
I never knew you
Big sky
Let me down again
Big sky
I'm givin' you the blame
How did I ever get stuck in this?
Give me some grace again
Won't you say it isn't so?
Watch me fallin'
See me fallin'
I slipped through
The vortex of the sky
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
I'm gonna hurt you
Big sky
You'll remember this
Big sky
Up above the rain
How can I ever put a stop to it?
Look you in the face again
Big sky
I'll never let you go
Big sky
Baby I told you so
Big sky
Look at this swollen pride
I got so busy lookin' out for you
When were you by my side?
When I'm breathin'
When I'm sleepin'
I can't think of nothing else
All my longing'
All my waiting'
All my wailin'
All my standin' on the shelf
How am I ever gonna get through this
Back to myself again?
Big sky
I never knew you
Big sky
Let me down again
Big sky
I'm givin' you the blame
How did I ever get stuck in this?
Give me some grace again
Won't you say it isn't so?
Watch me fallin'
See me fallin'
I slipped through
The vortex of the sky
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
Fingernail Moon lyrics - annie lennox
Fingernail moon
Up in the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
Stuck in the blue
No distance between us
Between me and you
I've got nothing to hide
I've got nothing to lose
You'll be by my side
C'mon tell me the truth
Elegant moon
You cut like a knife
It does me no favours
To stay out of my sight
Suspended like glass
All ancient and new
Allof space lies between us
Between me and you
There's no need to be shy
There's no need to be scared
I need you tonight
Come on out if you dare
I'm just a girl with my feet on the ground
I'm just a girl with my head goin' round
I feel so sad
There's something unsettling under my skin
I don't know the reason or where to begin
Caught in the circles I've found myself in
But I want to reach out and touch you
My sweet sickle moon
Up wi the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
After all we've been throuch
With the distance between us
Between me and you
It dont matter how long
Itdon't matter howear
I'll meet you tonight
Under the stars
Up in the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
Stuck in the blue
No distance between us
Between me and you
I've got nothing to hide
I've got nothing to lose
You'll be by my side
C'mon tell me the truth
Elegant moon
You cut like a knife
It does me no favours
To stay out of my sight
Suspended like glass
All ancient and new
Allof space lies between us
Between me and you
There's no need to be shy
There's no need to be scared
I need you tonight
Come on out if you dare
I'm just a girl with my feet on the ground
I'm just a girl with my head goin' round
I feel so sad
There's something unsettling under my skin
I don't know the reason or where to begin
Caught in the circles I've found myself in
But I want to reach out and touch you
My sweet sickle moon
Up wi the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
After all we've been throuch
With the distance between us
Between me and you
It dont matter how long
Itdon't matter howear
I'll meet you tonight
Under the stars

A 1000 Beautiful Things lyrics - annie lennox
Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes
I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)
So ...
Here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find
The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(Oh, remember...)
To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So ...
Light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
never close my eyes ...
That is everything I have to say
(that's all I have to say)
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
So... light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
Never close my eyes
I thank you for the air to breathe
The heart to beat
The eyes to see again
(a thousand beautiful things)
And all the things that's been and done
The battle's won
The good and bad in everyone
(this is mine to remember)
So ...
Here I go again
Singin' by your window
Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find
The world was meant for you and me
To figure out our destiny
(Oh, remember...)
To live
To die
To breathe
To sleep
To try to make your life complete
(yes yes)
So ...
Light me up like the sun
To cool down with your rain
I never want to close my eyes again
Never close my eyes
never close my eyes ...
That is everything I have to say
(that's all I have to say)
Pavement Cracks lyrics - annie lennox
The city streets are wet again with rain
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
And love don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colours fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat
(Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)
Time and space will pass us by and by
When we don't see eye to eye
I would have done anything
For happiness to bring ...
But it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even cover up my tracks
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back
Ooh I wish you well
How come
Every day
I'm still waiting for the change?
How come
I still say
Give me strength to live?
Where is my comfort zone?
A simple place to call my own
'Cause everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
And it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even recognise my tracks
You and I can't turn the whole thing back
Ooh I wish you well
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
And love don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colours fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat
(Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)
Time and space will pass us by and by
When we don't see eye to eye
I would have done anything
For happiness to bring ...
But it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even cover up my tracks
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back
Ooh I wish you well
How come
Every day
I'm still waiting for the change?
How come
I still say
Give me strength to live?
Where is my comfort zone?
A simple place to call my own
'Cause everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
And it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even recognise my tracks
You and I can't turn the whole thing back
Ooh I wish you well
The Hurting Time lyrics - annie lennox
To everything there is a purpose ...
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every livin' thing will surely
Come to pass
And what will be will be ...
That's when the hurtin' time begins
And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strengh to say
And everything you ever did
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been livin' with
Come runnin' down your face
Runnin' down your face
When the hurtin' time begins ...
So tell me what the day brings
Has it lost it's thrill?
Are you still searching
Hoping for that
Space to fill ...
Everything you turn to
Is like a mirror on the shelf
And the only one you're blaming
is yourself
A million little deaths you've died
The times that you've been crucified
The more you've loved and lost and tried
And still could not be satisfied
When will you be satisfied?
When will you be satisfied?
Not till the hurtin' time begins
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every livin' thing will surely
Come to pass
And what will be will be ...
That's when the hurtin' time begins
And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strengh to say
And everything you ever did
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been livin' with
Come runnin' down your face
Runnin' down your face
When the hurtin' time begins ...
So tell me what the day brings
Has it lost it's thrill?
Are you still searching
Hoping for that
Space to fill ...
Everything you turn to
Is like a mirror on the shelf
And the only one you're blaming
is yourself
A million little deaths you've died
The times that you've been crucified
The more you've loved and lost and tried
And still could not be satisfied
When will you be satisfied?
When will you be satisfied?
Not till the hurtin' time begins
Honestly lyrics - annie lennox
The beauty that you gave
Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said
Evaporated
Evaporated ...
Was I blind
Deaf and dumb
To the words slipped from yur tongue?
Honestly ... honestly ... honestly
Alone in my bed
The things that you said
Go round in my head ... still
It seems to be true
That nothin' I do
Can influence you ...
I tried and tried again
(Don't you know I tried and tried again
to make you listen to me
But everything I said it always seemed to go right through you)
To make you notice me
(I turned myself into a person that I didn't like
But please believe me when I say I know it wasn't right)
But talking to myself
(I never thought that things would
get to be so complicated
I never thought that you and me would end up o frustrated)
Won't catch you attention I see ...
(You'd think that something had to come from all those good intentions
But in the end I needed something more than intervention)
Was I mad?
Was I ... mad?
Foolish me
Foolish ... me
To succumb so easily
To suc...cumb
Easi...ly
So easily
So easily
Honestly... honestly... honestly...
(Alone in my bed
The things that you said
Go round in my head ... still
It seems to be true
That nothin' I do
Can influence you... still)
Fools like me get so easily taken
And fools like me can be so mistaken
Honestly... Honestly... Honestly
The promise that you gave
(Don't you know the promise that you
gave just turned it's back upon me
I stopped believing but you couldn't take the whole thing from me)
Has turned it's back
(I never thought I'd have to pay the price to set you free)
And all you represented
Was just my projection you see...
(You know I never thought I'd ever
live a day without you
And that's the reason why
it makes me sad to think about you
and you know I never thought
I'd make it if you wasn't there
And now I'm tryin' to eject myself
from this despair)
People come
People go...
Never say I "told you so"
Honestly
Everything I know you said
Goin' round inside my head
Never thought I'd see the day
Always got a price to pay
Nothin' that I ever do
Ever seems to get to you
Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said
Evaporated
Evaporated ...
Was I blind
Deaf and dumb
To the words slipped from yur tongue?
Honestly ... honestly ... honestly
Alone in my bed
The things that you said
Go round in my head ... still
It seems to be true
That nothin' I do
Can influence you ...
I tried and tried again
(Don't you know I tried and tried again
to make you listen to me
