[00:14.12] 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!
