How Long Lyrics

Cover art for How Long lyrics by Paul Carrack

Paul Carrack is an under-rated musical genius. If he had a huge ego he would have put his name on his best work instead of sharing it with artists like Ace, Squeeze, Mike + the Mechanics, the Pretenders, Elton John, etc. This song is obviously about cheating, but not like you would think. When Paul sang lead for ACE back in the 70's he learned that the bassist, Terry Comer, was sneaking out and playing for other bands.
