Here Comes That Sinking Feeling
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
It tangles your head like a winter rose.
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.
Here comes that sinking feeling
(Can't keep it to myself)
Nobody hurts me like you do.
You cut into me like a poison dart.
Creep into my sleep at night.
Break into my dreams and tear them apart.
Here comes that sinking feeling.
Have you ever felt the sound of disappointment?
It pounds in your head like hammer blows.
Comes on gentle and smiling.
And it likes to leave a scar...
Here it comes again no.
Here comes that sinking feeling.
It tangles your head like a winter rose.
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes.
Here comes that sinking feeling
(Can't keep it to myself)
Nobody hurts me like you do.
You cut into me like a poison dart.
Creep into my sleep at night.
Break into my dreams and tear them apart.
Here comes that sinking feeling.
Have you ever felt the sound of disappointment?
It pounds in your head like hammer blows.
Comes on gentle and smiling.
And it likes to leave a scar...
Here it comes again no.
Here comes that sinking feeling.
Here Comes That Sinking Feeling
Released in 1983 as the lead single from Eurythmics' debut album *Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)*, this track established Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart as pioneers of synth-pop. The song's driving rhythm and Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery defined the genre's evolution during the early 1980s. While the track was initially a commercial success, it later gained renewed significance as a cultural touchstone, often cited in discussions about the era's electronic music landscape. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to blend pop sensibilities with a darker, more atmospheric production style that would characterize the duo's subsequent work.
