John Cale - Faces & Names Lyrics
Words and music: lou reed & john caleFaces and names, I wish they were the sameFaces and names only cause trouble for meFaces and namesIf we all looked the same and we all had the same nameI wouldnt be jealous of you or you jealous of meFaces and namesI always fall in love with someone who looksThe way I wish that I could beIm always staring at someone who hurtsAnd the one they hurt is meFaces and names, to me theyre all the sameIf I looked like you and you looked like meThered be less trouble you seeFaces and names I wish theyd go awayId disappear into that wall and never talkFaces and namesI wish I was a robot or a machineWithout a feeling or a thoughtPeople who want to meet the name I haveAre always disappointed when they meet meFaces and names, I wish they were the sameFaces and names only cause problems for meFaces and namesId rather be a hole in the wall - looking out on the other sideId rather look and listen, listen and not talkTo faces and namesI had a breakdown when I was a kidI lost my hair when I was youngIf you dress older when youre not, as your really age you look the sameIf we all looked the same, we wouldnt play these gamesMe dressing for you and you dressing for me - undressing for meFaces and names if they all were the sameYou wouldnt be jealous of me o me jealous of youMe jealous of you - Im jealous of youYour face and your nameYour face and your nameFaces and names
