Revenge
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
She said revenge can be so sweet
I like to take it when I can
I need to play with the ones I hate
I like to see them suffer
It has to be dangerous
It has to be refined
It has to be skillfull
You need to take your time
She said I take care
Of my resources
You never know
When you might need them
I'm fast and I'm strong
My reflexes are good
It doesn't take long
To achieve my deserved revenge
I like to take it when I can
I need to play with the ones I hate
I like to see them suffer
It has to be dangerous
It has to be refined
It has to be skillfull
You need to take your time
She said I take care
Of my resources
You never know
When you might need them
I'm fast and I'm strong
My reflexes are good
It doesn't take long
To achieve my deserved revenge
Revenge - Eurythmics
Released on the 2005 compilation Boxed, 'Revenge' stands as a potent example of Annie Lenon's enduring ability to blend electronic textures with anthemic vocals. The track exemplifies the duo's signature fusion of new wave and synth-pop, characterized by driving rhythms and a distinct, rhythmic vocal delivery that often incorporates spoken-word elements. While the song shares thematic DNA with their earlier work, its placement on a modern reissue highlights its timeless appeal within the genre. The recording maintains the raw energy and atmospheric depth that defined their career, particularly in the mid-1980s, offering a powerful sonic statement that resonates with fans of the era's electronic landscape.
