Paul Brady

Paul Joseph Brady (born 19 May 1947) is an Irish singer-songwriter, whose work straddles folk and pop. He was interested in a wide variety of music from an early age. During his career he has passed through several major bands and on to a successful solo phase. Initially popular for playing traditional Irish music in a duo with Andy Irvine and later with Tommy Peoples and Matt Molloy, he later turned to a more rock inspired electric style with poignant political lyrics. Among his most popular songs are "Crazy Dreams", "Nothing but the Same Old Story", "The Island", "Night Hunting" (covered by Santana), and "Steel Claw" and "Paradise is Here"(covered by Tina Turner). more »

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 
 Memorizing 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, 
 ''cause he's built for pleasure 
 You can find him etc 
 All night, all night 
 We last, all night
