If you live around here, you need cash in the bank. |
[00:17.55] |
'Cos the houses 'round here are all flashy and swank. |
[00:20.87] |
An' the front bit is what's called a facade! |
[00:27.66] |
All the people 'round here are as posh as can be. |
[00:30.94] |
You won't see 'em hob-nobbin' with rubbish like me. |
[00:34.42] |
It's the snob bit, also called a facade! |
[00:41.53] |
Every day people in their own sweet way |
[00:46.96] |
Like to add a coat of paint and be what they ain't! |
[00:53.76] |
That's how their little game is played |
[00:57.69] |
Livin' out their masquerade |
[01:00.91] |
Gettin' rich an' gettin' laid! |
[01:03.75] |
Who'd want to trade? |
[01:08.38] |
But there's one thing I know an' I know it for sure |
[01:11.53] |
This disease that they've got has got no ready cure. |
[01:14.95] |
An' I'm certain life is terribly hard |
[01:20.88] |
When yer life's a facade! |
[01:23.87] |
|
[01:25.62] |
Every night here on house or another is a fun house |
[01:29.14] |
'Cos of someone givin' a party as you see, Sir! |
[01:32.40] |
This one here tonight is rather special - am I right? |
[01:35.08] |
It's the betrothal of Sir Danvers' daughter, Lisa! |
[01:38.91] |
Sir Danvers Carew is a good man |
[01:42.10] |
They call him "La creme de la creme". |
[01:45.79] |
Whatever that means, he's a bloody sight better than them! |
[01:52.82] |
Nearly everyone you meet |
[01:54.26] |
when walking down a London street |
[01:56.05] |
Pretends to be a pillar of society. |
[01:59.33] |
A model of propriety, sobriety and piety |
[02:02.58] |
Who's never even heard of notoriety! |
[02:05.99] |
The ladies an' gents here before you |
[02:09.58] |
Which none of 'em ever admits |
[02:12.81] |
May have saintly looks, but they're sinners an' crooks |
[02:16.36] |
Hypocrites! |
[02:19.37] |
If you live around here you need lots of panache. |
[02:22.96] |
If you live in town, dear, then you must cut a dash. |
[02:26.45] |
'Tisn't hard, dear, to create a facade! |
[02:33.02] |
You must seem to be rich and have money to burn. |
[02:36.40] |
Even though it's a bitch, spending more than you earn. |
[02:39.76] |
That's the game here and the name is facade! |
[02:46.79] |
One or two might look kinda well-to-do. |
[02:52.57] |
But I betcha precious few have paid for their boots! |
[02:59.35] |
I'm inclined to think half mankind thinks the other half is blind. |
[03:06.46] |
Wouldn't be surprised to find they're all in cahoots! |
[03:13.86] |
At the end of the day they don't mean what they say |
[03:17.12] |
They don't say what they mean, they don't ever come clean. |
[03:20.61] |
An' the answer is it's all a facade! |
[03:27.43] |
Call a walk "Promenade", call a street "Boulevard" |
[03:30.62] |
Grease yer hair with "Pomade" |
[03:31.99] |
you'll be held in regard. |
[03:34.12] |
An' I betcha if you stay on your guard |
[03:40.34] |
They'll all say you're a "Card". |
[03:43.32] |
People love the facade. |
[03:46.93] |
What's behind the facade? |
[03:51.12] |
Look behind...the facade! |
