Hey hey

Can I take this for granted
With your eyes over me?
In this place
This wintery home
I know there's always someone in

Whoa
Nineteen eighty four
Nineteen eighty four
And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I'd been unborn
Wish I was unliving here

I'll pull the bricks down
One by one
Hey hey hey
Leave a big hole in the wall
Just where you are looking in

Sex Crime (1984)
Performed by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, this track exemplifies the Eurythmics' signature blend of electronic textures and emotive vocals that defined their early career. Recorded during their live period between 1983 and 1989, the song captures the band's evolution from new wave synth-pop into a more polished, dance-oriented sound. The recording features the distinctive production style of the duo, characterized by driving rhythms and Lennox's powerful delivery, which became a hallmark of their work on albums such as Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) and We Too Are One. Released as part of their live documentation, the track stands as a testament to their influence on the electronic music genre of the 1980s.
