Annie Lennox lyrics beat antiques valuation to sell for £3,000
The money was raised for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Lyrics handwritten by Eurythmics star Annie Lennox have outdone their antiques valuation.
The words to Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) sold for £3,000 after attracting a pre-sale estimate of £500, the Evening Express reports.
Music legend Lennox - known for tunes Why and Walking on Broken Glass, which she performed as a solo artist - donated the lyrics to a charity auction in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
And the Aberdeen-born crooner's generosity was there for all to see in at the Bonhams sale in London as the words made a four-figure sum for the cause.
This comes after lyrics written by Bob Dylan exceeded their antiques valuation as they went under the hammer for $422,000 (£270,388) earlier this month.
The words to The Times They Are A-Changin - which formed the title track to the 1964 album - had previously been expected to fetch up to $193,000 at a Sotheby's auction in New York.
