Facade

[00:13.56] If you live around here
[00:14.85] You need cash in the bank
[00:16.78] 'Cause the houses 'round here
[00:18.52] Are all flashy and swank
[00:20.41] An' the front bit, ha
[00:22.71] 'At's what's called a facade
[00:26.94] All the people 'round here
[00:28.47] Are as posh as can be
[00:30.53] You won't seem hobnobbin'
[00:32.42] With rubbish like me
[00:33.94] It's the snob bit
[00:36.31] Also called a facade
[00:41.07] Every day
[00:43.73] People, in their own sweet way
[00:47.14] Like to add a coat of paint
[00:50.03] And be what they ain't
[00:53.19] That's how their little
[00:54.76] Game is played
[00:57.30] Livin' out their masquerade
[01:00.64] Getting rich and getting laid
[01:03.30] Who'd want to trade?
[01:07.77] But there's one thing I know
[01:09.58] And I know it for sure
[01:11.18] This disease that they've got
[01:12.90] Has got no ready cure
[01:14.54] And I'm certain
[01:17.17] Life is terribly hard
[01:20.56] When your life's a facade
[01:25.06] Every night here one house
[01:26.62] Or another is a fun-house
[01:28.15] 'Cause there's someone giving a party
[01:29.72] As you see, sir
[01:31.68] This one here tonight
[01:32.91] Is rather special, am I right?
[01:34.56] It's the betrothal of Sir Danver's
[01:36.39] Daughter, Lisa
[01:38.53] Sir Danvers Carew is a good man
[01:41.99] They call him the creme de la creme
[01:45.05] Whatever that means
[01:46.66] He's a bloody sight better than them
[01:52.11] Nearly everyone you meet
[01:53.49] When walking down a London street
[01:55.58] Pretends to be a pillar of society
[01:58.99] A model of propriety
[02:00.51] Sobriety, and piety
[02:02.11] Who's never even heard of notoriety
[02:05.52] The ladies an' gents 'ere before you
[02:08.90] Which none of 'em ever admits
[02:12.26] May have saintly looks
[02:13.83] But they're sinners an' crooks
[02:15.43] Hypocrites
[02:18.85] If you live around here
[02:20.31] You need lots of panache
[02:22.22] If you live in down, dear
[02:24.05] Then you must cut a dash
[02:25.60] T'isn't hard, dear
[02:27.95] To create a facade
[02:32.42] You must seem to be rich
[02:34.08] And to have money to burn
[02:35.62] Even though it's a bitch
[02:37.43] Spending more than you earn
[02:39.22] That's the game here
[02:41.63] And the name is facade
[02:46.32] One or two
[02:49.04] Might look kinda well-to-do (Ha)
[02:52.48] But I bet you precious few
[02:55.30] Have payed for their boots
[02:58.78] I'm inclined to think
[03:00.28] Half mankind
[03:02.66] Thinks the other half is blind
[03:06.25] Wouldn't be surprised to find
[03:09.09] They're all in cahoots
[03:13.24] At the end of the day
[03:14.81] They don't mean what they say
[03:16.79] They don't say what they mean
[03:18.25] They don't ever come clean
[03:20.13] And the answer
[03:22.42] Is it's all a facade
[03:26.95] Call a walk promenade
[03:28.28] Call a street boulevard
[03:30.04] Grease your hair with pomade
[03:31.98] You'll be held in regard
[03:33.55] And I betcha
[03:35.84] If you stay on your guard (Stay on your guard)
[03:39.59] They'll all say you're a card
[03:42.80] People love the facade (Stay on your guard)
[03:46.45] What's behind the facade?
[03:50.65] Look behind
[03:54.82] The facade
[03:57.23]
