   01   Love is a Stranger       Love Is A Stranger Love is a stranger In an open car To tempt you in And drive you far away And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession Love is a danger Of a different kind To take you away And leave you far behind And love love love Is a dangerous drug You have to receive it And you still can't Get enough of the stuff It's savage and it's cruel And it shines like destruction Comes in like the flood And it seems like religion It's noble and it's brutal It distorts and deranges And it wrenches you up And you're left like a zombie And I want you And I want you And I want you so <Picture>It's an obsession It's guilt edged Glamorous and sleek by design You know it's jealous by nature False and unkind It's hard and restrained And it's totally cool It touches and it teases As you stumble in the debris And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession       03:43
   02   I've Got An Angel       I've Got An Angel I've got an angel Oh I've got an angel The power of imagination Goes right to my head The power of imagination Goes right to my head (And I said) Time is time is time to kill Time is time is time to kill       02:45
   03   Wrap It Up       Wrap It Up I've been watching you for days now baby I just love your sexy ways now baby You now my love will never stop now baby Just put your loving in my box baby Wrap it up - I'll take it No more will I shop around baby You know I've got the best thing in town now baby I've seen all I wanna see baby What your loving means to me now baby Wrap it up - I'll take it I'm gonna treat you like the queen you are Give you sweet things from my candy jar You've got treats you ain't ever used Give it give it to me It won't get abused       03:34
   04   I Could Give You (A Mirror)       I Could Give You (A Mirror) How can you be so cold With my arms to hold you? How can you be so cold With my arms to enfold you? I could give you - A mirror To show you - Dissappointments <Picture>I could give you - A history Could you ever listen in to me? How can you be so cold When there's a fire burning? How can you be so cold When all the ice is melting? I could give you - A mirror To show you - Dissappointments I could give you - A history Could you ever listen in to me?       03:50
   05   The Walk       The Walk I could be contended I don't need to suffer You're beautiful Good to talk to You make an impression To take my attention And when you touch my skin I smell disaster Step away - walk away All I want is the real thing (nothing but the real thing) Walking on pavements We collect in bars Asleep in the houses So alone - Looking inside herself She breaks the glass Turns her head backwards She's fallen down again       04:42
   06   Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)       Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world And the seven seas-- Everybody's looking for something. <Picture>Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused. (Hold your head up--Keep your head up--MOVIN' ON)       03:37
   07   Jennifer       Jennifer Jennifer with your orange hair Jennifer with your green eyes Jennifer in your dress of deepest purple Jennifer - Where are you tonight? Jennifer - Where are you tonight? (Underneath the water / Underneath the water)       05:09
   08   This Is The House       This Is The House 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 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       05:01
   09   Somebody Told Me       Somebody Told Me Somebody told me Somebody told me Somebody told me Something about you I didn't believe it I couldn't believe it I'm still reeling 'cause I just can't take the blow Well there's laughter and love And there's a lot of pain I never wanna see your Pretty face again Full of forgiveness <Picture>You're just twisted I'm a silly little saint With a halo of smiles But it makes no difference       03:29
   10   This City Never Sleeps       This City Never Sleeps You can hear the sound Of the underground trains You know it feels like distant thunder You know there's so many people Living in this house And don't even know their names I guess it's just a feeling - in the city) Walls so thin I can almost Hear them breathing And if I listen in I feel my own heart beating (I guess it's just a feeling - in the city)       06:40

AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The Eurythmics' breakthrough album is a deft mix of electronic thrills, new wave chills, and sultry R&B, the latter supplied by Annie Lennox's warm tenor. Pretty much relying on themselves, Lennox and Dave Stewart slip past the music's usual coldness and into a territory all their own. It can be smug (the new wave here is served with a side of irony) and a tad dull (the long, operatic pieces serve little purpose), but the payoffs — "Love Is a Stranger" and, especially, the magnificent title tune — are among the finest the genre has to offer. — Michael Gallucci
