The Great Pretender

(álbum: True For You - 1983)

Downtown disco, out on the floor
He's been there a hundred times before
Looking for some pretty high class fool to play with
Back in his place when he pours out the wine
And the crystal snowflakes stand in line
She won't ever find a faster way to heaven

You can find him any night
Standing in the upstage light
Waiting for some easy act to follow
Watch him move in perfect time
Memorising all his lines
Roll up! Roll up! See the Great Pretender

Dinner party, table for two
Video turns to midnight blue
He says "do you like to do it this way?"
Black satin sheets edged in guilt
Whispered lies underneath the quilt
He'll do anything a woman wants
'Cos he's built for pleasure

You can find him...

All night, all night
We last, all night
