Faces And Names — текст песни (John Cale)

Words and music: Lou Reed & John Cale

Faces and names, I wish they were the same
Faces and names only cause trouble for me
Faces and names
If we all looked the same and we all had the same name
I wouldn`t be jealous of you or you jealous of me
Faces and names
I always fall in love with someone who looks
the way I wish that I could be
I`m always staring at someone who hurts
And the one they hurt is me
Faces and names, to me they`re all the same
If I looked like you and you looked like me
There`d be less trouble you see
Faces and names I wish they`d go away
I`d disappear into that wall and never talk
Faces and names
I wish I was a robot or a machine
Without a feeling or a thought
People who want to meet the name I have
Are always disappointed when they meet me
Faces and names, I wish they were the same
Faces and names only cause problems for me
Faces and names
I`d rather be a hole in the wall - looking out on the other side
I`d rather look and listen, listen and not talk
To faces and names
I had a breakdown when I was a kid
I lost my hair when I was young
If you dress older when you`re not, as your really age you look the same
If we all looked the same, we wouldn`t play these games
Me dressing for you and you dressing for me - undressing for me
Faces and names if they all were the same
You wouldn`t be jealous of me o me jealous of you
Me jealous of you - I`m jealous of you
Your face and your name
Your face and your name
Faces and names
