Biography

Scottish singer, songwriter, political activist and philanthropist, born December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK. After achieving moderate success in the late 1970s as part of the new wave band [a=The Tourists], she and band mate [a=David A. Stewart] went on to achieve major international success in the 1980s as [a=Eurythmics]. She embarked on a solo career in 1992. In 2011, Lennox was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. At the 2015 Ivor Novello Awards, Lennox was made a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, the first female to receive the honour. In 2020 Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and in November 2022 the two (as Eurythmics) were enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

LYRICS

I can turn the grey sky blue
And I can make it rain whenever I want it to
And I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
And I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire
But I don't want it all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

I can turn back the hands of time - you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change just by the wave of my hand
I can change anything from one to two
The thing I wanna do the most I'm unable to do
I'm an unhappy woman with all the powers I possess
'Cause man you're the key to my happiness
'Cause I can't get to next to you

Ooh you're blowin' my mind
'Cause I can't get next to you
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'
I can't get next to you
Oh it's you that I need I gotta get next to you
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'
Can't get next to you

I, I, I, I, I, I, I can't get next to you
I, I, I, I, I, I, I can't get next to you
