I've Got A Lover (Back In Japan)
Eurythmics · Savage
He's got tatooes
He's my Superman
I try to call him up from time to time
We can talk about the weather
Is the weather fine?
And I say break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break.
I've got a lover
Up in outer space
He's been tumbling around
All over the place
I like to call him from time to time
We can talk about heaven...
Break, break
Break away those ties
Break, break...
When the whole world descends on me
I'll be waiting for you...
Got another lover in Timbuktu
Got a name for him
He's my little guru.
When I don't call him he starts to cry
I have to tell him stories just to pacify.
Break, break...
When the whole world descends on me
I'll be waiting for you...
I was bitter when I met you
I was eloquent with rage
Like honey from a poisoned cup
I flowed from stage to stage.
(Ooh... sugar baby... sing me a lullaby.)
Japanese baby...
I've Got A Lover (Back In Japan)
Released on the 1983 album *Savage*, this track by Eurythmics blends new wave energy with a distinct electronic pulse characteristic of the duo's early work. The song features Annie Lennox's emotive vocals layered over synthesizers and driving rhythms, capturing the tension and romance often explored in their discography. As a key component of *Savage*, it exemplifies the band's ability to merge pop sensibilities with experimental soundscapes during their formative years. The recording stands as a testament to the era's shift toward electronic instrumentation while maintaining the emotional depth that defined their career. It remains a notable song in their catalog, reflecting the innovative approach they brought to synth-pop in the early 1980s.
