Annie Lennox : 100 BEAUTIFUL SONGS
No More ‘I Love You’s’ – The highest of Annie’s cover songs is her interpretation of The Lover Speaks’ little-known song from 1986. Her Grammy Award-winning recording (surprising many, perhaps, but no more than fellow nominee Mariah Carey) is so brilliant, so authentic that many are surprised to learn it’s a cover.
The elaborate video only enhances Annie’s stature as an icon of popular music. And, really, how many of you go about your life singing the doop-be-doop-be-doop-doop-doop bit as you go about your regular life? Admit it. You do. It’s infectious. You can’t help it.

i used to be lunatic from the gracious days
i used to be woebegone and so restless nights
my aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh but now…
(i don’t find myself bouncing home whistling
buttonhole tunes to make me cry)
no more “I love you’s”
the language is leaving me
no more “I love you’s”
changes are shifting outside the word
(the lover speaks about the monsters)
i used to have demons in my room at night
desire,despair,desire,so many monsters
oh but now…
(i don’t find myself bouncing home whistling
buttonhole tunes to make me cry)
no more “I love you’s”
the langutage is leaving me
no more “I love you’s”
the language is leaving me in silence
no more “I love you’s”
changes are shifting outside the word
they were being really crazy
they were on the come.
and you know what mammy?
everybody was being really crazy. Uh huh.
the monsters are crazy.
there are monsters outsides
outside the word
– Gary Krupnick
