King And Queen Of America
Eurythmics · We Too Are One
Well cÂ’mon darlinÂ’
The stars are burning bright
CÂ’mon now darlinÂ’
Our lick is good tonight -
‘Cause we’re the all time winners
In the all time loserÂ’s game
Yea weÂ’re the all time winners
And here we go again
The king & queen of America...
Yea itÂ’s the king of nothing
And the queen of rage
With a pile of confusion
Upon a glittering stage
You know we never did anything
To make ourselves feel proud
You know we never did anything
So letÂ’s play it loud
LetÂ’s hear it for the -
King & queen of America...
So cÂ’mon darlinÂ’
ThereÂ’s a big moon in the sky -
WeÂ’re gonna build
A little satellite -
WeÂ’re gonna make it fly...
WeÂ’re gonna send it up to heaven
All the way up to the stars
And all of them aliens
Are gonna find out
Who we are -
We’re talkin’ ‘bout the
King & queen of America
The stars are burning bright
CÂ’mon now darlinÂ’
Our lick is good tonight -
‘Cause we’re the all time winners
In the all time loserÂ’s game
Yea weÂ’re the all time winners
And here we go again
The king & queen of America...
Yea itÂ’s the king of nothing
And the queen of rage
With a pile of confusion
Upon a glittering stage
You know we never did anything
To make ourselves feel proud
You know we never did anything
So letÂ’s play it loud
LetÂ’s hear it for the -
King & queen of America...
So cÂ’mon darlinÂ’
ThereÂ’s a big moon in the sky -
WeÂ’re gonna build
A little satellite -
WeÂ’re gonna make it fly...
WeÂ’re gonna send it up to heaven
All the way up to the stars
And all of them aliens
Are gonna find out

King And Queen Of America
Released on the 1998 album We Too Are One, this track by Eurythmics blends their signature synth-pop sound with a darker, more introspective tone. Following the band's reunion, the song reflects on themes of power dynamics and relationships, characteristic of Annie Lennox's lyrical depth. The recording features the duo's signature interplay between Lennox's emotive vocals and Dave Stewart's electronic production, marking a return to their early 80s roots while addressing contemporary issues. It stands as a notable song in their discography, showcasing their ability to merge pop sensibilities with political and personal commentary.
