    That’s such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word “disagree.”

    Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word “this.” She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word “these.” Art is weird.

      Controversial opinion: Marilyn Manson’s version is superior.

      Also he says these.

      She says more “theeeeeeis”, there’s a hint of an “is” sound at the end of the word.

      I don’t get it. It’s meant to rhyme with “disagree”, and it’s not like the song is interpreted differently if it’s “these” vs “this”.

        it’s called a slant rhyme, and it is the playground of the devil.

        See: “Here I am, rock you like a hurricane” for another famous example of two words rhyming that don’t.

      So, funny enough the actual lyric is “disagris”, not “disagree” Annie Lennox just says it a little differently, but they both rhyme.
