Dave Stewart today posted a video of a track taken from his forthcoming album Lucky Numbers.  The track itself is called How To Ruin A Romance, with the video featuring home movie footage of Dave and his wife Anoushka.

Dave recently took his Nashville Players who performed on his previous 2 albums, The Ringmaster General & The Blackbird Diaries, away on a trip to the South Pacific where they recorded the album in about a week.

Full steam ahead Mr. Stewart.

This is what Dave wrote, and also posted the lyrics:

“New song one take rough version from Dave Stewart’s upcoming album ‘Lucky Numbers’ “

Lyrics For How To Ruin A Romance

You’ve been lonesome and complaining
Till Someone gets you a blind date
You been worried about it all night long
How you’re gonna rate
Turns out she’s an angel
But you’re to dumb to speak
She turns to leave ,you can’t believe
Didn’t even kiss her on the cheek

CHORUS
That’s how you ruin a romance
It’s easy but it’s true
That’s how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues

you made a stack of dollars
On a winning streak
You’re throwing toga parties
acting like a sheik
Your Italian girlfriend says she’s tired
tell your driver to take her home
Now they’re married with 3 children
Own a restaurant back in Rome

CHORUS
That’s how you ruin a romance
It’s easy but it’s true
That’s how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues

You’re gulping down martinis
She’s slowly sipping wine
Her eyes are sending shivers
Up and down your spine
She asks you to play some music
You feel like a rock and roll star
But 30 minutes later
you’re still tuning your guitar

CHORUS
That’s how you ruin a romance
It’s easy but it’s true
That’s how you ruin a romance
And end up dating the blues
That’s how you ruin a romance
I guess you already knew
how to ruin a romance
I guess i ruined it with you
