Dave A. Stewart: "Heart Of Stone" (1995)

Dave Stewart is a BRIT Award winning Englis musician, songwriter and record producer, best known for his work with Eurythmics. He is usually credited as David A. Stewart, to avoid confusion with other musicians named "Dave Stewart".

Stewart has been described by friend and collaborator, Bob Dylan, as a "fearless innovator".Stewart was born in Sunderland, England. In 1971, whilst still in his teens, Dave Stewart secured a record deal as part of folk-rock band Longdancer, but they did not achieve commercial success. Stewart then spent several years living in squats in London. In late 1976, he was introduced to Annie Lennox by a mutual friend. Soon, Stewart and Lennox became lovers. By 1977, the pair had teamed up with Sunderland musician Peet Coombes, releasing a single on Logo Records as The Catch. The band then developed into The Tourists who enjoyed modest success, including a hit in 1979 with a cover of the Dusty Springfield hit "I Only Want to Be with You". (Source: Wikipedia)


- Lyrics:


I bought your record in NYC
Discorama down on Union Square
I must have played it a million times over
I´d close my eyes imagine you were there
you know
I really dig the clothes you wear
I only wish you could be my baby
I want to read about it
do you think we could have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind too see

Two weeks in ElectricLady Land
two weeks and that´s all for me
I could be lucky and get off lightly
with a broken nose and the third degree
she said I really dig Disco music
and if you want to be my baby
we´d better talk about it
maybe then we could have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind too see

I want to drive east coast to west coast
turn up my radio set myself free
don´t want to talk about it
you and me should have an affair

Maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind to see
maybe your heart is made of stone
maybe I´m just too blind to see
