Slash - The Great Pretender Lyrics






Easy come for some it's easy go
But it's never easy on your own
Times will change for those who, who never know
Till it's too late to get back home

Great pretender, there will come a day
When the last song fades and you've grown old
Great pretender, you cannot replace
All the love you lost long ago
Once you take your final bow you're on your own

Lights for now they are still shining bright
But you can't escape this truth in time
The mask you wear is only your disguise
To hide the tears that fall inside

Great pretender, there will come a day
When the last song fades and you've grown old
Great pretender, you cannot replace
All the love you lost long ago
Once you take your final bow you're on your own

Do you remember when you promised her
That you would be there till the end?
A distant dream led to the, to the deepest hurt
And though you've tried, you can't forget

Great pretender, there will come a day
When the last song fades and you've grown old
Great pretender, you cannot replace
All the love you lost long ago
Once you take your final bow you're on your own

  29. S.... M....

    (Humilde traducción al español)
    Para algunos es fácil venir para algunos es fácil ir
    Pero nunca es fácil solo
    Los tiempos cambiaran para aquellos quienes, quienes nunca saben
    Hasta que es muy tarde para volver a casa

    Gran farsante, vendrá un día
    Cuando la ultima canción se desvanezca y te habrás hecho viejo
    Gran farsante, no puedes reemplazar
    Todo el amor que perdiste hace tiempo
    Una vez que haces tu reverencia final, estas solo

    Ahora luces para ellos que aún están brillando
    Pero no puedes escapar de esta verdad a tiempo
    La mascara que usas es solo tu disfraz
    Para esconder las lagrimas que caen dentro

    Gran farsante, vendrá un día
    Cuando la ultima canción se desvanezca y te habrás hecho viejo
    Gran farsante, No puedes reemplazar
    Todo el amor que perdiste hace tiempo
    Una vez que haces tu reverencia final, estas solo

    Recuerdas cuando le prometiste
    Que estarías ahí hasta el final?
    Un sueño lejano te lleva al, lleva al mas profundo dolor
    Y a pesar que has intentado, no puedes olvidar

    Gran farsante, vendrá un día
    Cuando la ultima canción se desvanezca y te habrás hecho viejo
    Gran farsante, No puedes reemplazar
    Todo el amor que perdiste hace tiempo
    Una vez que haces tu reverencia final, estas solo

    Hey guys. listen I don't like to sound desperate, but if you like rock n roll, I'm a musician with virtually no recognition who could really use some support. I've got an album and a bunch of other stuff. I think if you like slash you'd love my stuff. I'm not asking for much, maybe just a little comment here or a like there. I would just really appreciate it. I'll even sub to your channel if you do this. Thanks 😊

  53. G.... M....

    It's like "Still Got The Blues" made mad crazy whoopy with the theme from "The Godfather", resulting in this badass lovechild of a tune. I can dig it!

  54. a.... ....

    It sounds exactly like november rain, melodywise

  55. b.... ....

    Reading through the comments makes me realise there are so many musically shallow people in this world

    Meanwhile, I am just thanking Slash for this masterpiece. Never miss a day without this song ❤️

  56. p.... r....

  60. J.... D....

    I was married it was his wishes I stood beside him e1 knew lol I left each out of falling in love nothing more

  61. r.... g....

    You are the best guitar player

  62. M.... M....

    Uma das melhores músicas do álbum se não for a melhor, muito top

  63. L.... ....

    sound like Gary Moore

  64. E.... C....

    Way too close to Gary Moore. More like, "Still got the great pretender blues."

  65. K.... N....

    Brutally brutal to full of energy the soul of any rocker!

  66. D.... ....

    I can hear some of Civil War solo here

  67. B.... N....

    Bravo Slash!

  68. A.... D....

    I love you Slash as a player but you will never be Gary Moore...................EVER !!!

  69. L.... G....

    great song. still got the blues vibes...

  70. A.... T....

    Man when it comes to compose iconic intros slash is one of the best out there... Such a beautiful classic song.... Brings the feel of 80s....Long live slash and myles's voice fits so well... Slash, myles and the conspirators are one of the best group of this generation...

  71. M.... ....

    This album is forkain armazion

  72. K.... S....

    For me the best on "Living The Dream"

  73. S.... V....

    This sounds like the chorus of José José song “He renunciado a tí”

  74. M.... ....

    Reminds me of the start of "show me a leader" by Alter Bridge 😏

  75. t.... ....

    this song starts like it's gonna be amazing but the chorus kills it. Also it's very similar to Garry Moor's song

  76. M.... ....

    Best song!

  77. V.... G....

    Does anyone think that this song sound familiar to Still got the blues ? https://youtu.be/4O_YMLDvvnw

  78. K.... M....

    🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

  79. E.... ....

    It've been replaying this song for one hour and a half amd still gives me goosebumps. I have no words. I' m lost in this masterpiece

    Slashy Moore

  88. S.... P....

    Slash fuck me!

  89. V.... ....

    And that's how you see how incredible influence Gary Moore was. RIP. This is clearly a reference to Still Got the Blues, cannot think otherwise.

  90. T.... ....

    Anyone got this on repeat?!??! So awesome. The emotion just pours out....

  91. Z.... X....

    gary moore?

  92. J.... R....

    Latinoamerica sound?

  93. J.... Y....

    Parisian walkways

  94. J.... ....

    Love this track a lot but if I'm being honest, it sounds a lot like "Hello" by Lionel Richie which also came 7 years before "Still got the Blues" by Gary Moore.

  95. A.... S....

    Very Beautiful and emotional song ♥️ Beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics..... My favorite song from this album
