The imagery of this song never fails to intrigue and move me. "Love Is A Stranger" was written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, otherwise known as Eurythmics, and released--wait for it--thirty-seven years ago on their now-classic "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" album.
Love Is A Stranger
by Eurythmics
Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away
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 a 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 gilt-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
