Faces and names


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
If 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 or me jealous of you
Me jealous of you, me jealous of you
Your face and your name, your face and your name
Faces and names, faces and names

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Lou Reed (Lewis Allan Reed; March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and poet. Considered a pioneer of experimental rock and punk music, Reed achieved international fame as the frontman of the Velvet Underground in the 1960s. After the band's dissolution, he embarked on a highly successful solo career, exploring controversial themes such as heroin, sexuality, and social marginalization. Among his most important albums are "Transformer" (1972), "Berlin" (1973) and "Street Hassle" (1978). Reed was a provocative and controversial artist, but also a refined poet and a musician of great talent. Some of his most representative songs are: 'Walk on the Wild Side', 'Heroin', 'Perfect Day'.
