You have Place a Chill in My Heart by Eurythmics has always been one of my favorite songs. I love Annie Lennox’s performance vocally, visually and emotionally. She does a great job playing the part of several different female characters in telling this tale of the heart.
The music and the lyrics work so well together as the song builds to an explosive conclusion, culminating with a universal sentiment that everyone can relate to.
What a gut-wrenching experience this song is and Annie Lennox is the conductor of this masterpiece.
Take me to the desert
Where there’s got to be
A whole heap of nothing
For you and me
Take me to the desert
Take me to the sand
Show me the colour of your right
hand.
Love is a temple
Love is a shrine
Buy some love at the five and dime
A little bit of love
From the counter store
Get it on credit if you need some
more.
I’ll the figure of your disgrace
A criss cross pattern upon your face
A woman’s just too tired to think
About the dirty old dishes in the
kitchen sink.
I wish I was invisible
So I could climb through the
telephone
When it hurts my ear
And it hurts my brain
And it makes me feel too much
Too much too much too much.
Don’t cut me down
When I’m talking to you
‘Cause I’m much too tall
To feel that small.
Love is a temple
Love is a shrine
Love is pure
And love is blind
Love is a religious sign
I’m gonna leave this love behind.
Love is hot and love is cold
I’ve been bought and I’ve been sold
Love is rock and love is roll
I just want someone to hold.
