Smithereens Lyrics


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 a 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 bear to break it down to smithereens
I didn't mean to break it down
I didn't mean 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? Don't you?
Everybody is an island to themselves
Everybody is an island to themselves
Don't you know?

Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
