We Two Are One Too es un álbum de Eurythmics, publicado en 1991. El disco incluye 24 canciones, entre ellas «We 4 Are 3 [Tape Played Before Gig]», «We Two Are One [Live and Acoustic Version]», «We 2 Are 1 [Acoustic Version]» y «I Love You Like a Ball and Chain».
Sobre el álbum
El título We Two Are One Too se refiere a la colección de vídeos que acompañó al álbum de 1989, 'We Too Are One'. Este último es el trabajo que marca el final de la primera y más exitosa etapa del dúo. En este disco, Eurythmics entrega una colección de canciones de pop-rock con un sonido muy pulido y orientado a las grandes audiencias. Fue otro gran éxito de ventas en el Reino Unido.
La producción del álbum es potente y está perfectamente adaptada al sonido de finales de los 80. El disco es una mezcla de temas de rock enérgico y de baladas de gran calidad.
El álbum contiene varios sencillos de éxito, como "Don't Ask Me Why" o "The King and Queen of America". Las letras exploran las relaciones y la fama con la inteligencia y la ironía características de Annie Lennox.
Poco después de este álbum, el dúo se separaría por primera vez. 'We Too Are One' es un epílogo de gran dignidad a una década prodigiosa, un trabajo que demuestra que, hasta el final, la calidad de Eurythmics seguía intacta.

Letra
Well the sound of your voice on the telephone Make me feel distressed Make me all alone. Why do I feel so incomplete? When you're not here I'm just obsolete. My bed is burnin' all through the night. You're the only one that can make me feel right. Try to lay down my sleepin' head But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead. I love you like a ball and chain. (Make it alright now.) Love you like a ball and chain. (Feels too good.) I'm a fool I know but I'm stuck on you. I'm a fool I know and it's makin' me blue. There's a river of blood. There's a river of tears I've been wasting all these years. Chorus repeats. - Don't Ask Me Why4:20

Letra
It's five o'clock In the afternoon Somebody's playing A sixties tune on the radio A lazy wind tumbles Down the street It shakes the dust up With the summer heat Where the people go... In fancy town Where nothing's real They don't consider What you feel In fancy town It's black & white They close their minds They say Wrong is right How long Will your love Hold on To stay strong enough In fancy town The attitude Could strip you bare Like frozen food A ship of fools In a crazy choir Is gonna take you home And light your fire In fancy town Where nothing's real They don't consider What you feel In fancy town It's black & white They close their minds They say Wrong is right How long Will your love Hold on To stay strong enough A deck of cards In perfect black Like cold cement On the pavement cracks Where lovers steal And beg for time And doctors sign On the dotted line... - You Hurt Me (And I Hate You)0:30
Letra
Well the sun came up this morning Like a burning red balloon It broke into my window And it slipped across the room It spread itself upon me Like the smell of sweet perfume I was sleeping like a baby I'm not a saviour I'm not a saint I'm not an angel I'm not that quaint Don't need a preacher To be that wise Don't need a teacher - I've got my eyes... You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me A history of bitterness You have left a blazing trail If you had been a hammer I'd be a broken nail You gave me nothing - Nothing but regrets Don't think it's over - It's not over yet You hurt me & I hate you You hurt me... (And everytime You try to fool yourself You've only got yourself To blame And every lie you ever Told yourself Will all come back to you One day)* [They say there's no hell on earth That's like a woman scorned And if you have to face yourself You'll wish you'd not been born And if you have to face yourself You'll find me standing there In the shadows, in the corners At the foot of every stair]* - (My My) Baby's Gonna Cry4:54

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 - Sylvia [LP Version]1:28

Letra
Well I passed you by this morning You were stumblin' down the street And by the look upon your face I could tell you wasn't Feeling too sweet - You dropped down to the bottom - That's what you Gone and did - Livin' in a bad dream Finally flipped your lid Well - Superman I've got News for you And every body else That's listenin' too There's a new way out If yer ready to hear We're gonna make it clear What we need is revival! Revival. Look at that girl She's the saddest thing You've ever seen - Washed up and faded Like a dirty old pair of jeans She's running round in circles But she don't have a single friend - Looks like her own bitterness Has twisted her till the end Well - Mona Lisa look me in the eye And tell me when You're gonna get satisfied I'm gonna spell it out Right in front of you This is what you have to do - Get ready for revival! Revival... R.E.V.I.V.A.L. It's gonna lift you Right up From your prison cell Play it out loud Like a ringing bell You go R.E.V.I.V.A.L. - Australian TV Sequence0:29

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... - Ballad of Eurythmics Road Crew1:23
