While the sun displays its teeth.
All mockery is laughing
All violence is cheap.

"These are my guns
These are my furs
This is my living room."
"You can play with me there sometimes
If you catch me in the mood."

You savage...
She said...
"I have this unhappiness
To wear around my neck."
"It's a pretty piece of jewellery
To show what I protect."
She said...
"Everything is fiction
All cynic to the bone."
"So don't ask me to stay with you
Don't ask to see me home."

Savage serves as the title track for the Eurythmics' 1985 album, marking a distinct shift in the duo's sonic landscape. Moving away from the synth-pop dominance of their earlier hits, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart embraced a harder, more aggressive sound that defined this era of their career. The recording showcases their ability to blend atmospheric textures with driving rhythms, creating a track that feels both expansive and intimate. As a centerpiece of the album, the song highlights the band's willingness to experiment with darker tones and complex arrangements. It remains a significant song in their discography, illustrating the creative evolution that kept the group relevant throughout the mid-1980s. The track stands as a testament to their enduring influence on new wave and pop music.
