[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!
