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
From wiser folk who have been through it all
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

    What a show. Pete is the man.

  3. i.... f....

    There is no lead guitar in this song

  4. W.... R....

    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.

  5. R.... C....

    Wow pure energy song !!!!!!!!!!

  6. t.... ....

    Fuck. Why were the 80s so unkind to the 60s/70s crop?

  7. W.... R....

    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.

  8. C.... ....

    this hasn't age well. what an awful drumtrack too.

  9. v.... ....

    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!

  10. C.... M....

    This is a comedy song, right?

  11. S.... R....

  18. m.... g....

    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

  19. J.... F....
