Townshend, Pete - Face The Face Lyrics
Face the face, got to face the face
Face the face, got to face the face
You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
And the faded names sprayed up on the wall
We've got to judge the judge
We've got to find the finds
We've got to scheme the schemes
We've got to line the lines
We must stake the stakes
We gotta show the shown
We gotta take the takes
We gotta know the known
(Try to place the place
Where we can face the face)
We got to face the face
(Try to place the place
Where we can face the face)
Face the face, got to face the face
Face the face, got to face the face
Got to
Got to
You must have tried and defied belief
Maybe buried your head in insular grief
I need your hunger, you need mine
A million mouths can swallow up time
We've got to fool the fools
We got to plan the plans
We got to rule the rules
We got to stand the stands
We got to fight the fight
We must fall the falls
We got to light the light
We got to call the calls
(We must race the race
So we can face the face)
We got to race the race
(We must race the race
So we can face the face)
Face the face, we got to face the face
We got to race the race
We got to
Keep looking
New York, Chicago
London and Glasgow
Keep looking
Keep on looking
Keep on cooking
Got to stay on this case
Study the pix
Watch the flix
We've got to find the face
Face the face, got to face the face (Watch the flix)
Got to
We've got to judge the judge
We got to find the finds
We've got to scheme the schemes
We got to line the lines
We got to fight the fight
We got to fall the falls
We got to light the light
We got to call the calls
(Try to place the place
Where we can face the face)
We got to face the face
(Try to place the place
Where we can face the face)
(Try to place the place
Where we can face the face)
Keep looking, keep looking
(We must race the race
So we can face the face)
We got to race the race
(We must race the race
So we can face the face)
We got to face the face
We got to race the race
(We must race the race
So we can face the face)
We must race the race

Townshend, Pete Face The Face Comments
hell yeah and thats his daughter as well
What a show. Pete is the man.
There is no lead guitar in this song
this song is genius art that'll last for a hundred years... I'd be honored if some Who & Pete Townshend fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SLIT SKIRTS and A LITTLE IS ENOUGH on my channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Wow pure energy song !!!!!!!!!!
Fuck. Why were the 80s so unkind to the 60s/70s crop?
I'd be honored if some Townshend fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SLIT SKIRTS and A LITTLE IS ENOUGH on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism & composition. Live acoustic with no autotuning or digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.
this hasn't age well. what an awful drumtrack too.
This version is found on 12" Vinyl 1985. I have it and it's one of my favorite party tracks. I can't find it on mp3 to buy, and more or less all tracks suggests White City, the album. But that's not even close to this version. Any idea where to find it? If on CD, I'm not interested. Thanks in advance!
This is a comedy song, right?
All that's missin, is some guitar smashin..
Buenazoo 80.ss
Pause at 3:56
Recuerdo aquellos días dee mi años mozos cuando llegaba a casa de angelica y nos poniamos a bailar y nos mentabamos la madre jajajajaj a
I forgot he did this. 80s was strange but he nailed this one
Happy birthday Pete!
... Thank you Pete!! you sing with your daughter on this video - correct ? ... amazing - all of it !!!
Windmills leaps and jumps, to defy belief, face the face, keep looking, timeless class, do you now I never really new just how well, and along with such passion Pete sang, listening to Mr Daltry some what over shadowed I guess
First heard in in 1985 when I was still in my junior high. Loved it so much.
Que gran tema y esa batería poderosa, de puta madre!
Good Song !!!!!
Bob Dylan on drums
Simón Philips
Still the best I've ever had!
Qué fuerza ese tema! Me encanta!!!!!!
That just cooks !!
3:18 the key ingredient to so many great 80s songs was horns and saxophone
This is really good music. Awesome.
Freaking awesome!
This guy is crazy, crazy good
Fantastic piece of music...
When you mix a big band sound with genius lyrics and the coolness of Pete Townshend this is the result, pure enjoyment
ideal para ponerse a bailar, como loca, lo escuche y se te empieza a mover todo...............................
buen tema delos 80
Any one know what is the name of the harmonica player and a bit of history????
Peter Hope-Evans, Google Medicine Head
that wasa jamboree n a half !lots o famous faces in there
!rock on
le meilleur pete...
I believe the first girl that joined him on stage in this clip is his daughter
His face looks like alfred in batman
Townshend always was a MUCH better singer than Daltrey.
No Way - but a better talent.
Al fin localizo este temazo de mis buenas epocas doradas!! Que nunca olvide de mi memoria su compás👍🎶🎵..Gracias
Si al fin!!somos dos 😄
Año 86 tiempos de colegio ... carambas que buenos tiempos
"...Peep the peep/Gotta poop the poop/Geez, what is this shit/Oh, fuck, he's got it on a loop..."
...and no guitar by Pete. Remarkable.
*Yihaaaaaa*
Qué problema llamarse Pete ...
Real live performance ?
I doubt it...not shure eighter.
This is what me up in the late 80s.I would have my stereo alarm to 6am and this would auto turn on.
A bio movie should be made about Pete Townshend, Nicolas Cage could portray him. ;-)
Delmario Valdes ....2.16' could win any Nicolas Cage Look alike contest....
How he would portay young Pete?
Or Saul Goodman
Pete is a genius.
What a Tune. Groove. Sound. Lyrics. Musicians.................we must Pete the Pete.
great mid eighties pop rock video!
este tema es una joya
Este temazo está dentro de mis recuerdos ochenteros....
That is realy great! Now I am note sure whether Jesus is our Lord or is it Pete?
learn english .
olaf belitz fuck off...don’t be so cruel...
Miami Vice, when Sonny's at the firing range.

This was one of my most favourite shoots ever. We had soooooo much fun & Pete Townshed is an awesome guy
Que cancion ... (what a song .... ). Saludos, Fer
I had a old VHS tape of White City movie. Sadly it's destroyed by time. I just wonder if a DVD is out of this. Now I'm older I need will see the film with new eyes. Pete always did awesome work.
He is a genius. Saludos, Fer
Finally! I have been waiting for 30 years to see a good quality version of this video
Me too Wolfram Hohmann....I'm on the far right
Jeez. I remeber, I was 17 and we lived in Burgdorf, Germany and in the first floor there was this incredible hot and total cool women, around 28, sexy like hell, she invited me always up to her, then she just run in underwear, String around and was dancing to this Song, what a memory, and I just sit there and watches her, brain totally gone 😂
hermosa anécdota.
Prophetic best song ever, to this day, hey. Magic musicians and funky dance beat. Everyone is getting down. Pete and all at their best for this tune. You tube keep scrubbing copied links. No matter, better buy the DVD. A must at any party!
You´re right on the point.
