Sobre el álbum
El álbum Greatest Hits, de 1991, es la primera gran compilación de la carrera de Eurythmics y uno de los discos más vendidos de la historia en el Reino Unido. Este trabajo, lanzado en la cima de su popularidad, es un resumen impecable de su primera y más exitosa década. Es un testimonio del increíble impacto que tuvieron en la música de los años 80.
La selección de temas es un desfile ininterrumpido de himnos que definieron una época. Desde el synth-pop icónico de "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" y "Love Is a Stranger", hasta el R&B de "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" o el rock de "Missionary Man". La escucha es una clase magistral de historia del pop.
El álbum demuestra la increíble versatilidad del dúo, capaces de moverse con soltura entre el pop electrónico más frío y el soul más cálido. La voz de Annie Lennox se confirma como una de las más poderosas y emotivas de su generación.
'Greatest Hits' es un documento esencial, la prueba de que Eurythmics no solo era una banda de sencillos, sino una de las propuestas artísticas más completas y sofisticadas de la música popular.

Letra
Underneath your dreamlit eyes Shades of sleep have driven you away The moon is pale outside And you are far from here Breathing shifts your careless head Untroubled by the chaos of our lives Another day - another night Has taken you again my dear And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there When you need someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea Last night while you were Lying in my arms And I was wondering where you were You know you looked just like a baby Fast asleep in this dangerous world Every star was shining brightly Just like a million years before And we were feeling very small Underneath the universe And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there when you need Someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there when you need Someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea When tomorrow comes - Here Comes The Rain Again

So baby talk to me Like lovers do Here it comes again Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion Here it goes again Here it goes again I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean It is raining with you? Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you?

- There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)
- Missionary Man
Letra
Well I was born an original sinner I was borne from original sin And if I had a dollar bill For all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money Piled up to my chin My mother told me good My mother told me strong She said be true to yourself And you can't go wrong But there's just one thing That you must understand You can fool with your brother But don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Well the missionary man He's got God on his side He's got the saints and apostles Backin' up from behind Black eyed looks from those Bible books He's a man with a mission Got a serious mind There was a woman in the jungle And a monkey on a tree The missionary man he was followin' me He said stop what you're doing Get down upon your knees I've got a message for you that you better believe - Don't Ask Me Why
- I Need A Man
Letra
I don't care if you won't Talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl. And I don't care if you won't Walk with me It don't give me such a thrill. And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed 'Cause there's just one thing That I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress. I need a man... I need a man... Baby baby baby Don't you shave your legs Don't you double comb your hair Don't powder puff Just leave it rough I like your fingers bare. When the night comes down I can turn it round I can take you anywhere. I don't need love Forget that stuff You know that I don't care I need a man... I need a man... I don't need a heartbreaker Fifty-faced trouble maker Two timing time taker Dirty little money maker Muscle bound cheap skate Low down woman hater Triple crossing double dater Yella bellied alligator... I don't care if you won't Talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl. And I don't care if you won't Walk with me It don't give me such a thrill. And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed 'Cause there's just one thing That I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress. - Love Is A Stranger
Letra
Love is a stranger In an open car To tempt you in And drive you far away Ooh, love is a stranger In an open car To tempt you in And drive you far away And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession Love is a danger Of a different kind To take you away And leave you far behind And love love love Is a dangerous drug You have to receive it And you still can't get enough of the stuff It's savage and it's cruel And it shines like destruction Comes in like the flood And it seems like religion It's noble and it's brutal It distorts and deranges And it wrenches you up And you're left like a zombie And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession It's guilt edged Glamorous and sleek by design You know it's jealous by nature False and unkind It's hard and restrained And it's totally cool It touches and it teases As you stumble in the debris And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession - Thorn In My Side
Letra
You gave me such a bad time Tried to hurt me, but now I know Thorn in my side You know that's all you ever were A bundle of lies You know that's all that it was worth I should have known better But I trusted you at first I should have known better But I got what I deserved To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) Thorn in my side You know that's all you'll ever be So don't think you know better 'Cause that's what you mean to me I was feeling complicated I was feeling low Now every time I think of you I shiver to the bone Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah (Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah) Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) (Run-run, run, run) (Run-run, run, run) (Run-run, run, run) (Run-run, run, run) To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) To run away from you (Run-run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run-run, run, run) - The King And Queen Of America
- Angel
Letra
Underneath this canopy of snow Where fifty-seven winters Took their toll Where did you go? And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singing psalms on a Sunday (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... Come to save her soul... Come to take her home 'Cause it's late and past Your bedtime Well past bedtime Angel My angel Fly over me Angel... She took her life Within her hands She took her life Within her own two hands And no-one can tell her What to do now And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singin live from Las Vegas (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet Her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul...
