[Instrumental]

Sammy Jo was an ordinary girl
Had ordinary dreams and hopes
And a proper place to stay
What made her crack nobody really knows
When she ran away from home
She threw it all away
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces
Showing all those traces
Of a million tears
Cried over long lost years
Glitter and glory
It's the same old
Things ain't what they seem
And you can't live on dreams
Do you know what I mean
Jamie Lee was an ordinary guy
Lived an ordinary life
In only black and white
Why he changed his mind nobody knows
Now he roams the streets at night
Always hiding from the light
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces...
I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
And I have no fear
As long as you are there
Glitter and glory
Yeah I know that story
But I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
As I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
Hanging on to you
I see those faces...

Many faces listen to the sound
Different places, span the globe around
Finding traces true in everyone
No there's nothing new, under the sun
Many faces listen to the sound
Different places, span the globe around
All the races, forever speeding up
Now fulfillment of the loving cup
Faces, places, races
Do-We-I-A

Faces
Cracked for reason beyond recognition
Uh-huh
His space is
At the Palace, he sleeps for twenty five cents
Uh-huh
Now he's wiping headlights
Windshields with an old rag
It ain't nine to five
Down and dirty, he's an old tramp
He poses like a dead man
The night train passes by
Money's
Not the answer for princes and dancers
Uh-huh
He's standing under street lights
He's thinking of his old life
He lost his pretty young wife
The corner is his big plan
His brunch with Jim and jitters
Boston blue laws ain't for shitters
And newsprint is for cheaters
Cement mattress for believers
A dirty old bum
He's a dirty old bum
He can't say "Yes"
He can't forget it A dirty old bum
Now he's shooting power curves
His buddies think he's got some nerve
Mrs Face had other lovers
Her arms smothered other numbers
He freezes
Christmas season, all saints protect him
Uh-huh
His face is
Cracked for reason beyond recognition

[D.M.C.]
In your face, all the time
All in your face when I'm kickin my rhyme
All these faces in front of me
Face to face with Run-D.M.C...
[Run]
Knuckleheads in my face for a second
But I move the crowd, and I reckon
that a sucker might jump and try to bait
So kill that noise and get out my FACE (punk)
and let a real MC collect dollars
The true crew and few come from Hollis, Queens
and by all means necessary
my vocabulary is very extensive, and expensive
So hard it'll put you in intensive care
Proceed with caution
Often suckers get lost in the sauce when
faces just start speakin on faces
and leavin traces, other races be mocked
and it sparks a fight, day and night
dark and light - different types of faces
[D.M.C.]
Faces, faces
And everywhere you go you see..
Yeah yeah yeah
Break! As we come back on..
As we come back on..
All in your face, I place this rhyme!
Facin this crew, you're facin your doom
You got punched in the face
as soon as you heard this tune!
I race at a pace with no shoelaces
to racist faces, placin disgraces
Taste the bass of the racial facial
Disgraceful tasteless racist faces
Get out my face, don't bass, don't waste my time
my brother, I'm not color blind
I walk the face of the Earth, face death
face the best and I'll just
rip flip and trip won't shut up or let up
Get out my face so we can go head up
(Damn D!) Yo yo yo they don't understand me
?? when they always try to ban me
Hypin the stereotype of a face
and that's the problem with the human race
Haste makes waste, don't trace to other places
We're all the same but with different faces
[Jay]
Yeah D, and everywhere I go I see faces
Faces sweatin you and they sweatin faces
Around around the world, international faces
Yeah, now bust it
Yo, I took a look in the face of a girlie
The way she looks that Jay must say
somethin bout the way my afro is growin
But is it funky? (YEAH!) Well okay
Is she jockin my 'fro or my fade?
Do she want me because of my name?
I like the ladies, sweet and serious
not those hoes, that plays, the game
on every Tom Dick and Harry
Shawn Jerry John Nick Curly Moe and Larry
You thinkin you married? Well you CRAZY
my baby you won't carry
Cause I like a girl that's low-key
That's how it's gotta be to be with me
And I'll take her to all the exotic places
The name of this jam is called FACES
Yeah.. so many faces..
and everywhere I go I see faces
and everywhere you go you see, the faces
International faces, I'm a Afro and I'm outta here..

Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing

Look up
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where he left me
I should've known
By the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright
Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look up
Look where he left me
I should've known by the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated emotion
Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight

they found me lost in space, nowhere to go
with the stakes so high and my resistance so low
they said "follow us, follow us today
we are truth, we are the way."
"Young man" they said "Your search is through
You can trust in us, we'll look after you
We will be your body, we will be your mind
And we've a face of each and every kind
Yes we've a face of each and every kind"
"One for us and one for you
One for old and one for new
One for rich and one for poor
One for peace and one for war"
"there's no need for you to hear or see
we'll do your thinking for you, if you'll agree
so close your eyes and let yourself unwind
and we can leave the real world behind"
for a moment i was taken inthey were in my body, there were under my skin
until i heard a voice crying "set me free"
and i realized that it was meyes i realized that it was me
just when you really thing you're going places
they come inside of you with their many faces
One for us and one for you
One for old and one for new
One for rich and one for poor

The morning face to face
Deceiced by beautiful pictures
Killed by crazed thoughts
In gods eye the crime on humanity
Sheer hate before love
The disappointment of gods countenance
The self-mutilation
The destruction of myself
Fear disappeares into sweet desire
The dreams of remembrance
The fear of reality
Confused creatures formed by bizarre pictures
Faces of immortality
Faces of the unknown
Faces of death
The morning face to face
Deceiced by beautiful pictures
Killed by crazed thoughts
In gods eye the crime on humanity
Sheer hate before love
The disappointment of gods countenance
The self-mutilation
The destruction of myself
Fear disappeares into sweet desire
The dreams of remembrance
The fear of reality
Confused creatures formed by bizarre pictures
Faces of immortality
Faces of the unknown

Faces change
But this place'll stay the same
And I'm pickin' up another bag
And I pack another knapsack
The airport's like a stop light to me
Sittin' on red, green light go
My family grew into a global trance
Or fans, some may call 'em
And it's on the stage I stand
To jam Roxy
no wakin' up to stop the dream
I lived the life, signed a picture
'Cuz no dam could stop the stream
Or flood gates,
I'm in the fuck trades
And a pocket fulla culture condoms
They put you on the podium for first place
But on the block, they judge you on 'em
Who got the South in a six pack, and a shotgun just for show?
I'll put the white boys back in gold teeth
Put the hood in mossy oak
Child of a deadbeat, so I gotta give the beat some life
Beat me down with criticism, but at least the critic's write
With a broken pen, there they go again
I'm a token man, I'm a rollin jam
Like a rollin' stone, I'm closin in
I'm goin home, I'm home again
Bring it back up in the UK
Dixie flag
Catfish Billy
I'm just bein' blunt, homie
Keep the grass
It was something I was always gonna be
It seems these broken dreams don't lie
And so now my broken wings will fly
But if I take that break, there's a move you made
This dude you shape will come take you back
Back to the roots I've been
Without a fuckin' pot to pee in
Or a spot to sleep in
Hot or cold outside, it's not the season
Cuz I am not the reason
That the image you're used to seein'
Is usually being fake, so to me the hate is meaningless
Meaning yes, I'm different
And me screamin' the A
Is not the difference in grades
It's the place I stayed
Cuz the schools were underpaid
The teachers taught, but to me they fought
A star that was underway
It was under Wayne, it was in my name
Michael
M.W.A
Atha
And in trouble I stayed
Breakin out of this bubble they made
Played with the dice, but I rolled that seven
And I'll go back to heaven in a Chevrolet
Fuck the world with a tattooed hand
Committed to the words I say
A blood line's not a family tree
It's a needle in my skin for all to see
I ain't never got a spring break tattoo drunk
But I drink and take the ink
It was something I was always gonna be
It seems these broken dreams don't lie

Faces, pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all when you sleep?
Faces, burning in your mind
Faces
She's trapped inside her own world
And I'm trying to get in
And she doesn't know what's goin' on
Or where she might have been
And she talks to many people
And she lives life through their eyes
And the voices down the hall
Tell her no reason where or why
All of your life you've been missing the answer
It should be easy to tell
You see faces, pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all when you sleep?
Faces, burning in your mind
Will it be the lies that you see?
She hears the words of people
That live deep in her mind
And she wants to feel the passion
That's locked up inside
The pictures now are falling
There's no trace at all
And the voices that were calling her
No longer call
All of your life you've been missing the answer
It should be easy to tell
You see faces, pictures on the wall
Do you sleep at all when you sleep?
Faces, burning in your mind
Will it be the lies?
What do you see?
All of your life you've been hearing the answer
It should be easy to tell
No more faces, faces
Do you see faces?
Burning in your mind
No more faces
Hear me call
Hear me call
Hear me call

I'm in love with the faces. of a thousand nameless girls. I'm in love with the chases. for the unattainable. i'm in love but i'm tasteless. i only want what's bad for me. i'm in love with a waitress. if only i could drink for free. chorus: shot down, shot down. i'm blacking out. shot down, shot down. shot down, shot down. i can't get out. shot down, shot down. a death wish come true. i'm in love but i'm tasteless. i only want what's bad for me. i'm in love with the spaces. with the spaces in between. chorus. bridge: i’ll dream until my dream comes true. then i'll be blue again a few.

I, I, I, I, you!
I, I, I, I, you, you!
What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be afraid
What's it going, what's it going
What's it going to get?
So long you'll never be the same
Turn your head, look right at
None of these faces matter
These are the ones you see right through
If it's going to be at all
It's going to be with you
I, I, I, I, you!
I, I, I, I, you, you!
Who knows where we are?
Alive, alone
Tangled onto arms
Two arms, our own
As long as we're young
Keep you always in love
We're falling rhythms
Feel you holding us up
Crying for you
Crying for you
Crying for you
Crying for you

Ya'll ready for this?
Get down with the style,
House on the ground,
Please when I squeeze,
Pump to your knees.
Who wants to play?
I'm in here to stay,
Ready to take you around the way,
So get ready for this.
Mind your own biz,
Cause I invented the microphone biz.
No need to sit, cause we're 2 Unlimited;
Ready, ready, ready for this!
Feel the base, you just get closer.
Be impressed by the words I chose of,
Once again kickin' it live,
Doin' everything yo just to survive
A wall to wall, I think I stand,
Being on stage with a mic in my hand,
Bustin' it live to the crowd,
The age is 20, I'm from the south!
Be a part,
Break my heart.
Get ready for this,
Mind your own biz.
People in the front,
Show me what you want,
And I won't give it in..
Get ready for this!
We're 2 Unlimited,
So people won't you sit?
Movin' up and down,
Dancin' on the ground.
Feelin' kinda free; security.
House is style that moves you from the ground.
House on the ground, bass in your face,
Racin' the place, no time to waste.
Feelin' hypnotised,
I can see it in your eyes.
Feelin' kinda better,
Put on your sweater.
Feelin' like a white,
I think it doesn't matter.
Super, dope, def, and even outrageous.
If I was an animal, theyd've kept me in cages,
So get ready for this!
Ya'll ready for this?
Step back, relax. Don't you wanna come in?
When I start rappin' the girlies wanna come in.
Into my house, into my room,
That's the part where it goes "boom! boom!".
Name here is Ray, the group is 2 Unlimited,
We've got a lot to say...to you, ah yeah and your other crew, if it is
dream, boom see boom!

all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died
I want to open my heart wide
you won't feel so all alone
but I'll try
I'll try to take you home
watching the world pass us by
we keep on running, we keep on running
the air escapes me now
so where are they now?
two years on and they're all gone
we keep on running, we keep on running
where are they now?
words seem to useless now
have you forgotten how this made you feel?
all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew
have been lost and died
what if I told you that we were better off this way
and that the air was clearer because of the change
the mood has shifted
the weight has lifted
no signs of decay
now the truth is nearer
because of the change
your words are dead and useless now
have you forgotten how?
let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source
let's just say we've run our course
no need to argue or question the source
growing old but not in age
you lost your fire
you lost your rage
maybe you never had it at all
words scribbled on a page
seem so useless in this day and age
nothing means nothing any more
all these faces come and go
happy places we once knew

She never thinks about me when I'm here
She only dreams about me when I'm gone
My heart rises to my mouth as she passes
by me
and I can't make a sound
She gives me a mirror in a picture frame
She says don't be afraid to blame your blues
on the man you see inside
He's trying desperately to hide
I know she's right
and I can't fight the feelings
That the man inside's not ready for revealing
I walked beside him on a stage
Watched him trying to make believe
He's read the pages of wisdom
Now everyone has a needle
Which we turn to in times of escape
Injecting our realities with some fantasy
makes it all easier to take
Some people say that it sets them free
But me I found that it seldom lets you see
That the path your foot falls on
Doesn't make a sound
I know I'm right and
I can't fight the feelings
that the hearts of men aren't ready for
revealing
I walked beside them in the rain
Watched their distant and their mortal pain
and it's all a shame
She never thinks about me when I'm here
She only dreams about me when I'm gone
My heart rises to my mouth as she passes
by me

I like the faces you make at me
When we're lying in bed
They are always so beautiful
I like the way you tuck your body close to me
When we're sleeping it's all right
*CHORUS*
Dream your fears away
And I'll be here all day
Dry your eyes
'Cause I'm here to spend
This moment in your arms again
The forecast calls for rain to take away the day
I guess we'll just have to stay
Inside the room
I'll bring your breakfast warm to wake you
From your dream
As I lift your head upright
*CHORUS*
And so good love
The day between us comes and goes
So soon and so magical
You bring the lock
I'll bring the key to set you free
As I lay your body down
*CHORUS*
This moment now
This moment now...
This moment in your arms...
This moment in your arms again

(I know) I'm losing you
Your love is fading,
I can feel your love fading,
Woman it's fading away from me
Cause your personal touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
Can feel it in the air
It's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you
Can feel it in my bones
Any day you'll be up and gone
Oh I'm losing you
It's all over your face,
Someone's taken my place,
could it be, that I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes
a reflection of a face I see
Oh lord, I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
Cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fading, can feel it fading
oh away from me
Can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Ooh I'm losing you
I don't want to lose you, but I know I'm gonna groove ya
Ooh I'm losing you
Your love is fading, can feel it fading

(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood)
Poor old Granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
The Can Can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If I'm not smiling I'm just thinking
Glad and sorry, happy or sad
When all is done and spoken
You're up or I'm down
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day

(Ronnie Lane, Rod Stewart)
Last night I was woken by my cry
Had a dream just as plain as you and I
Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring
Still hear the echo crashing through the trees
Oh when I saw you down I fell upon my knees
You and I we were wearing Southern Grey
I called to you but I used another name
I beat the ground and I cried out in your pain
Through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away
And your brother's helpless prayers were all in vain
Last night I was woken by my cry

I wish I
I wish I was in Richmond
I do, I would I
I wish I
I wish I was back home
I'm waitin'
Here in New York City
The rain is falling
There's no one who cares
There's no one loves me here
The women
They may look very pretty
And some they know it
But some look good
They show a leg and smile
But they all look like the flowers
In someone else's garden
I've no act of love

(Ian McLagan, Rod Stewart)
Mother, don't you recognize your son?
Coming home, 'cause I failed you Mother
I'll be there in the morning
If you'll have me back
The rent up here is much too high
For a room without a tap
I'll be early in the morning
And I'll find my way back home
Back home bad 'n' ruin
With my tail between my legs
Tail between my legs
And I'll be so tired
I'll be early tomorrow morning
And I'll fall down off my plane
Don't be embarrassed mother
By your ugly worn-out son
Your ugly worn-out son.
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
And I'll be down on Cannon Street
Passport in my hand
Should you not recognize me
I've heavily made-up my eyes
Momma, you won't recognize me now
Brother, you won't recognize me now
Sister, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
So mother when you've seen me
Don't forget I'm your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
He's one foot in the grave
Mother don't you recognize me now?
I'm a burglar in the first degree
But it don't seem to worry me
I'll be so tired, so tired
I'll be so tired, so tired
So Tired

There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
The smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with a thumb
For his tongue it could not speak
But only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there that he made his bed
Often times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared

I'm waiting here in patience
Am I waiting all in vain?
Will I see you? Will I touch you?
Will I hear you call my name?
[Incomprehensible] and make
Ten steps to every one step that I take
Nobody comes and nobody goes
No one is happy, and no one has woes
Everything lasting, ever the same
Nothing is ending, nothing can change
The good Lord always has been
Always will be ever the same
And confusion mixed with illusion
All years only turn again
With one and one hundred names
Had all the rooms, our key is to change
Nobody comes and nobody goes
No one is happy and no one has woes
Everything lasting, nothing can change
Nothing is ending, ever the same
And nothing's the same

I'm flying across the ocean and I'm soaring
Back home to the place I was born
And probably raised and I'm flying
Across the mountains and valleys
Back home to the one that I love so happily
Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'Cause I've been away such a very long, long time
I served a while in the county jail
Five years for, for being hungry tired and poor
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
On and on
Yes, I will follow
With your buttons and bows
I'm flying across the ocean

Woken up on mornings such as this
Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Water down the drain, I'm wasting away
Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no no
Water down the drain goes to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky
I come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no
Slow down there
I never found out the reason, why?
Why my parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
Or from the hometown I was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin' by homemade law
I never knew when it was to be laid
My desires are never displayed
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved, no no no
Ah, get on up there
I never knew what it was to be laid

(Rod Stewart, Ron Wood)
Sit right down if you can spare me a minute.
I got a tale that's bound to break your heart.
Concerns my brother who's thin and plays violin.
Got it in his head that an IQ was all you need
He went his way, I couldn't discover mine.
I didn't worry if I ever saw him again.
He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket
and the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree.
Late last night reading my Underground Press
Came a knock on the door, thought it was the third world war.
Lord above, I did not recognize him.
I said, ";Have a cup of coke, Kid, maybe that's all you need.";
He said, ";The smell of the city, Kid, it's trying to kill me.
My eyes are getting muddy, Christ, I'm aging fast.
With my kind of music, I knew it wasn't gonna to be simple,
But have a quick listen, Kid, maybe that's all you need.";
Don't stop, you make me feel much better
Tell me my brother do you think that's all I need?
Don't it make you happy, well, well, well, well, well
That's all you need (5 times)

(Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)
In the mornin' don't say you love me,
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor.
Won't need to much pursuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin',
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about.
Red lips, hair and fingernails,
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Lets go up stairs and read my Tarot cards
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
So, in the mornin', please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out.

(Ronnie Lane)
I left you on the Debris
At the Sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends.
You was looking for a bargain
I heard your footsteps at the front door,
And that old familiar love song,
Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs.
I went there and back
Just to see how far it was
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself.
Theres more trouble at the depot,
With the general workers union
And you said, ";They'll never change a thing.
Well, they won't fight and their not working.";
Oh you was my hero
How you are my good friend
I've been there and back
And I know how far it is
But I left you on the Debris
Now we both know you got no money.
And I wonder what you would have done
Without me hanging around.

Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor head
Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her but I did not know how
I tried to love her but it's all over now
Nothing left to comfort me
Except a sunny day
Steal away
Steal away
Over the stones along the dusty old road
With every footstep one more tale is told
With every turning one more side to see
Sweet Lady Mary's seen the last of me
A lesson is learnt
I'll never come this way again
I'll steal away
Steal away
Her Spanish habits are so hard to forget
The lady lied with every breath, I accept
Was a matter of time before my face did not fit
I knew all along I'd have to quit.
Anyway now, I better not
Waste anymore of your time
I'll steal away
Steal away
I think I'll go back home and start all again
Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain
And on a new day when I've mended the wound
Sweet Lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
But before I sit down again
And waste anymore of your time
I better steal away

Wait a minute, honey
I don't think your joke's too funny, no
I stayed up all night
Checking out the doctor's guide
Wait a minute, honey
Stop pretendin' you're a bunny
Well, I might've guessed
You been to see a specialist
I remember you said
That we gotta keep abreast of time
But obviously you don't know
Where to draw the line
Well, don't try and tell me
It's a what you been eating
Since when have you been 44 around the
Get on with the song, yeah
At the Moulin Rouge
Tell you, baby we could knock 'em dead
Just sign right here
All I need is 10 percent
Well, now, you make me feel
Like a pimp in the White House
For a senator's daughter
You're stealin' all the headline news
Oh, the headline news
Oh, shake me, shake me
Shake me up all night long
We all need a laugh
And I guess you're just the one
Well, you got more front
Than the Hague Museum
Oh, home grown silicone
You really got the best of me
You really got the best of me
Alright, the best of me

Take me like you find me, don't try to change me
You know better than that
Take me as you see me, don't try to hide me
I ain't used to that
Shout it out loud, put a bomb in a crowd
If I got something to say
There's nothing that can stop me
I can't let it lay
If I have to fall on my head every night of the week
It's gonna be my fault and no one else
If everything goes wrong when I'm singing my song
It's gonna be my fault and no one else
There ain't nothing you can do about it
I've sat and thought it over
Don't try to help me, I was just born this way
Yes I was born this way
I ain't gonna change for nobody
Never, never gonna change
So, if everything goes wrong and I drink all night
It's gonna be my fault and no one else
People don't change just over night it ain't natural
So, don't break it kindly, don't hypnotize me
I just won't understand
Take me like you find me, don't try to change me
You know better than that
Oh, don't you know better than that?
Oh, don't you know better than that?
[Incomprehensible]
Say, I'm just a fool, that's alright

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennesee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall.
Help me information get in touch with my Marie;
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennesee.
Her house is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just about a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickeled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information, please

It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives.
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain.
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain.
They can tear it all down and build something new,
Then only I'll remember what was here.
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How hong will I have to keep returning?
Now I look back, think I've known all the time,
I've been fightin' myself for so long.
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber

Hey baby, I wanna say something to ya', listen
Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans keep slippin' through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when you're standing there you're so exciting
You can make me dance, you can make me sing
You can make me do just any old thing and I love it
Sometimes I wanna get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summer's gone and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
I'll keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on trying
You can make me dance, you can make me sing
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby
So little bird don't fly away
Want you here every day
Don't ever leave me
I'd rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl
You can make me dance, you can make me sing
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing
You can make me do just any old thing
Hey babe, keep on loving me babe
Yeah, keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe ...
Just keep on loving me darling ...
Woww, alright, hey baby, oh darling
Keep on loving me darling

(bobby and shirley womack)
Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me weep, you know she done me wrong
She held my eyes open and that's no lie
Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there with every single man in town
Still try to take me for that same old brand
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
She used to run around with every single man in town
Spent all my money playing her fast game
She used to put me down, it was a pity how I cried
But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry
Because I used to love her but it's all over now
Because I used to love her but it's all over now

(ron wood, ronnie lane)
I shake and I shudder and I shiver
In my bath while it's cold and my windows are broken,
As my poor dog lays a-chokin' on the floor.
I cried to my father and my mother,
There's no justice divine,
I wonder when I get mine.
'cause I'm so sick and tired of waitin' for the lord.
I find just what it is I'm looking for
There's a man wants to show me the river.
Hoofing at five I'll be more dead than alive.
I find a reason to survive when I'm too old.
Should I walk in the lightning and the thunder
On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky?

I was dreamin' of the past
and my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry, oh now
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feelin' insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside, oww
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry, oh now
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
* Whistle tune *
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry, oh now
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was tryin' to catch you eye
Thought that you was tryin' to hide
I was swollowing my pain
I was swollowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry, oh now
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out baby
I'm just a jealous guy

So good to be with
the people that know you.
It's good to hear
the things that they say,
At times when you are with them.
So good to note
my strength is growing from day to day,
There's not a thing
I try to do without you
Troubled times of pain that come
I take them any old day.
You come and you wash them all away
Everywhere you sing in everything,
and I try by remembering
all the things that you said to me,
from within all you did for me.

Once I was a stone many years ago
Into a pool was thrown many years ago.
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was I.
And tempered and beat in a fiery heat,
By the hand of a man, who's name was Dan
Dan the blacksmith.
Once I was a sword, many years ago.
And my blade was broad, many years ago.
Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride at a warrior's side.
And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field,
And I soon did rust, corrode to dust,
Oh my.
Once I was a daisy, many years ago.
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago.
But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead,
But was relieved to find just how kind it all was.
Once I was a grub, many years ago.
I lived in muck and mud, many years ago.
But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune.
When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun.
I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and I flew away.
Once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival.
And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental.
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible,
Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, St. Luke".
Once I was a mule, a many years ago.
But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago.
By and by I was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick
And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack,
And to his dismay, I passed away, into the blue.
I was born a human baby, many years ago.
I was born unto a lady, many years ago.
All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild.
Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear.
So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail.
I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.
I've known good times and disaster.
But now I've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master,
The master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster.

(Foster, Jordan)
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy
When I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
Than to see you walk away from me child
So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
That I been held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
Than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind

Stewart-Wood
Make sure that you tell him that I weren't your fool
Make sure that you tell him, baby, that I weren't your fool
Be sure to tell him I was never your fool
Make sure that you tell him, baby, that I weren't your fool, pretty soon.
‘Cause I've overcome worst problems than you, yeah

Now a country boy named shorty
And a city boy named dan
Had to prove who could run the fastest
To wed miss lucy's hand
Now dan had all the money
And he also had the looks
But shorty musta had that something boys
That can't be found in books
Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across
That's what miss lucy said
Cut across shorty, shorty, cut across
You know it's you that i wanna wed
Wait a minute
Now dan had been in training
About a week before the race
He made up his mind old shorty
Would end in second place
You know dan with his long legs flying
He left shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine
Cut across shorty ... but shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'cause old lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare
You know that thing
When danny crossed over the finish line
He found shorty waiting there
Cut across shorty ...
It's you that i wanna wed, no no
And oh lord it's you i wanna wed

I don't care who's watching
Don't mind what the surfing heads might say
Although I may not be no Charlie Atlas
I'm gonna take my shirt off anyway
Now skin and bones sinks easy on the high tide
And I'm not one for castles in the sand
I've seen a girl I once knew from the East Side
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I don't need to know your birthday
A fortunteller I don't claim to be
There's a place I know of called the Tip Top
Won't you come and take a walk with me
Won't you come and take a walk with me
Didn't take too much hard work to get her
Melted like a chocolate in my arms
If (?) had ever seen it better
It never did the scenery no harm

Oh Cindy ain't you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local papers run out of news
I'm not persuading you or disengaging you
But Cindy you and me we got to move
Can you refuse, no time to lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
And oh Cindy incidentally baby I ain't putting you on
Can you refuse, with () lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
Oh Cindy don't you worry
'Cause between us we can make it through
There ain't nothing no no nothing
In the world I can do without you
So Cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd

May the smile on your face
Come straight from your heart
Takes a lady like you
To write that for me
To wake up with you
Makes my morning so bright
Wipes the sleep from my eyes
When you tell me your dreams
And it goes on and on
Way beyond and out of reach
It's a well known old secret
Go and tell everyone
The smile on your face
Comes straight from your heart
If you look you will find

Miss Judy, she was moody
Owned a sweaty farm in old Alabam
I was just eighteen, crude and mean
All I needed was to get my own way.
Miss Judy, she could have me any hour of the working day
She'd send me in the corn field, mid-afternoon
Said "Son, its all part of your job"
Miss Judy had a p'roxide poodle
That I would kick if I was given the chance
Madam wasn't amused by the kindness I used
I was whipped in the barn until dawn
Last summer we was restless,
Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm
But it was all in the head 'cause out in the yard
Miss Judy had the National Guard
We was beat before we started.
Miss Judy she was moody
But she always didn't get her own way
Stage a fight, get it right

Sit right down if you can spare me a minute
I got a tale thats bound to break your heart
Concerns my brother who's thin and played violin
Got it in his head that an iq is all you need
He went his way I couldn't discover mine
I didn't worry if I ever saw him again
He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket
And the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree
Wait a minute
Late last night reading my underground press
Came a knock on the door thought it was the third world war
Lord above I did not recognize him
I said have a cup of coke here maybe thats all you need
He said the smell of the city
Kid it's trying to kill me
My eyes are getting muddy
Christ I'm aging fast
My kind of music I knew it wasn't gonna to be simple
But have a quick listen kid maybe thats all you need
Don't stop you make me feel much better
Tell me my brother do you think that's all I need
Yea yea
Don't it make you happy
Well, well, well, well, well
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need

I don't need no one's opinion
On the matter concerning my dress.
I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma,
There were many things I did not possess.
I never complained, because my father said,
"Son you'll get your chance before you're my age".
Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Written all over his face
He said, "Others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
I had my fair share of neat women,
But they came between me and my suit.
That was a filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston,
Not forgetting the one in Detroit.
They said, "We like you boy and we think you're sweet,
But can't you lose your suit?"
I said, "No, you can't do that to me"
I remember what my father said:
He said, "Others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'"
Three button hand me down, ha ha,
Three button hand me down
I've never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it ain't straight.
Still I know a good cloth when I see one.
That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit.
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit.
Then I remember what my father said to me.
I'll make you from the open road
He said, "Others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you go"
Three button hand me down,

I got a letter, it come to me by mail
My baby's a comin' home
I hope that she won't fail
Because I feel so good
I feel so good
You know I feel so good
Feel like ballin' the jack
I drove into town to that old station
Just to meet her old train
My baby said she's a comin' home
I hope that she won't fail
Because I feel so good
I feel so good
You know I feel so good
I feel like ballin' the jack
Feel so good, I hope I always will
Feel just like I just got out of jail
Wherever I'm with you
Because I feel so good
I feel so good
You know I feel so good
I feel like ballin' the jack
All right, I can see you

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away,
My love has found another, gone away
Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom,
Day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain.
Curse so badly, I don't want to go outside,
Everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry.
Listen, I've got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the windowpane
But I search the sky desperately for rain,
'cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know
When I'm crying, crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain

Standing all day
Thought I was lookin' good
So I cycled 'cross the neighbourhood
Was invited by a skinny girl
Into her high class world
Left my bicycle under the stairs
Laid my coat across the kosher chairs
Made my way across the crowded room
I had nothing to lose
My reception wasn't very keen
So turning on a friendly grin
Stood on the table with my glass of gin
And came straight to the point
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time
Dancing madly round the room, yeah
Singing loudly and sorta' out of tune
Was escorted by a friendly slag
'Round the bedroom and back
Wandered across the door
Missed my step and I fell on the floor
Said one word and I was asked to leave
Kinda' wish I was dead
I was glad to come
And I'll be so sad to go
But while I was here
I had me a real good time
The skinny girl made it clear
That she only came here for the beer
That's a fact, oh, yeah
The vicar, he simply reeked of gin
On my way home
I happened to fall off my bicycle
Good party
I was glad to come

Baby I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I'll leave you
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on the line
Baby, I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man, oh baby
You're the only woman that could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he does not really understand, good God, woah
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
You're the one that could ever help me
Baby, won't you try to understand
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Baby, I'm afraid of the way I'll leave you
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I'm wrong
Baby, I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he does not really understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
You're the one that could ever help me

(jimi hendrix)
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Forever I'm will be by your side
Gonna fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Today's the day for you to rise
Ke my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel

My mum she likes you
She thinks you're swell
Got the makings of a dance hall girl
Your low cut frock and your bird's nest hair
Stiletto heels and the way that you swear
She said to take you back to see my folks again on Sunday
Why, it looks as though there's nobody in
They've all gone out to see my Auntie Renee
Don't you worry, you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til' they come home
Well, let me take your coat, kick off your shoes
Warm your toes, try the sofa
It's getting dark, we'll miss the late night bus, it's only eight?
Well, I'm not takin' any chances
What's that noise, why'd they come back so soon?
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my socks, pretend we just got caught in the rain

Sweatin' hard, I didn't get a shot
All I did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin' all the people wasn't on my side
Losin' all my money and I'm getting tired
All the women come around him
Like he's Getty's son
Makes you kind of jealous, but it sure is fun
I don't mind, but he wants my lady too
You know the crowd gets bigger as the word goes 'round
Pool Hall king was playin' back in town
Minnesota Fats, standin' up at the back
Tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mac
You ought to hear the silence
When the kid walks in
His reputation's bigger than gasoline
I don't mind, but he's tryin' to feel my lady too
Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked, we know
Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know
You broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do
With your yellow carnation and your pink satin suit
You make me jealous, but I worship you
One day soon, I'm gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Quein' up to see me, take away your crown
Then you'll never, never, ever take my lady love
C'mon
Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked, we know, yes we do
Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know
You broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do, dig this
Bang goes the brown, that's another one down
Know they play much better when the sun gone down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your skin is clean
Bang goes the blue, lock away your cue
The poor Hall king is hustlin' you
Bang goes the eight ball, didn't see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah
Bang goes the brown, ooh, another one down
Know they play much better, now the sun gone down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean
Down the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday, 'cause you're makin' me sick
Down on the black at the back of the pack
You nearly missed, you ain't so hot
Pool Hall Richard, kids you're wicked, we know
You broke more hearts than a gigolo could ever do
You're breakin' my heart
'Cause you're stealin' my tart, no, no, no

I close my eyes and ignore all the signs
I'm walking 'round in circles
I've closed my ears and believed my own lies
And break the silence always
I make a lot of words, big storm in the air
All 'round your hair it's blowing
Just leave it be and it will all blow away
The weather's always changing
You can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild
Leave my hand, it's wide open
So's the door evermore
It hurts me more to think I'll keep you in chains
Than if you were to leave me.
I am what you are and I'm running too,
All for the open prairie.
So you can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild
Leave my hand it's wide open

If I'm late, darling, don't hesitate
Just go without me and I'll see you there anyway
If I miss you at the station
I want you on that train
I don't want a sad sack
'Cause I'll be there come what may
Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you're aboard her
Just a word to know that you're safe
I walk from Maryland to Silvertown
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment dear
I tried the place we alway meet
So if I'm late darling, don't hesitate
Go on your own some
And I'll catch you there anyway
I might lose some time babe
But if I do
I'll make amends in an hour

Cell block five, how I hate bromide
With your coffee in the morning makes you so sterile
The corner gang never made a man of me boy
You know the walls are tall and the inmates scheme
There's no one here that's more than seventeen
Bet your life there's a riot tonight in the mess hall
Listen
A letter from your home town makes you sad
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
He said sentimental rubbish ain't got no place in here boy
See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who's a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah
Shakey brown didn't hang around
When a molotow didn't do it's stuff
You went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun
You know poker sam couldn't lose a hand
If he did you were hit by a downtown tram
Or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator
See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who's a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah
When I get out, I'll get straight
If this old world gives me half a break
But, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder
Don't blame me, don't blame me baby, no, no

Well, well, hello and how are you?
Fancy seeing you here.
Don't let it show.
No look, no one must know
Why! They're playing "Tracks Of My Tears"
Just pretend its all over,
Like you have for so long.
I thought time was a healer,
But i guess I was wrong.
I am to blame
But we were so young.
Oh, how was I to know?
But you said you still want me,
You opened up an old wound
Then you left me here bleeding.
And my minds black and blue.
Now you got yours, and I got mine.
And theres no debts or dues

Too bad we were thrown downstairs;
We never got a chance to sing.
We were quite polite with one invite
To keep us off the streeet.
We mingled for a minute or two
With the high class clientele.
Then somebody said "who invited them,
that crowd of refugees. Get out!"
What an insult, to be shown the door
Before we could shake a leg.
I was most intrigued by the colored queen
leaning on the kitchen door.
Then I was ushered with my friends
by the butler who was twelve feet tall.
Well let me please explain
'Cause we're not to blame
We just don't have the right accent. No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame I was always getting the blame
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame how we always get the blame
Sweaty girls and damp motels
is where I'm gonna stay.
'Cause now I see what it's all about,
I didn't at the old school tie.
Don't worry, we had no fun waiting
for the all night bus home.
Too bad my regional tongue

Sammy Jo was an ordinary girl
Had ordinary dreams and hopes
And a proper place to stay
What made her crack nobody really knows
When she ran away from home
She threw it all away
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces
Showing all those traces
Of a million tears
Cried over long lost years
Glitter and glory
It's the same old
Things ain't what they seem
And you can't live on dreams
Do you know what I mean
Jamie Lee was an ordinary guy
Lived an ordinary life
In only black and white
Why he changed his mind nobody knows
Now he roams the streets at night
Always hiding from the light
Oh see the rainbow there
Oh colours everywhere
I see those faces...
I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
And I have no fear
As long as you are there
Glitter and glory
Yeah I know that story
But I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
As I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
I know what's true
And I'll hang on to you
Hanging on to you
I see those faces...
