Eminence Front

- The Who - 1982

(words & music by Pete Townshend)





The sun shines

And people forget

The spray flies as the speedboat glides

And people forget

Forget they're hiding

The girls smile

And people forget

The snow packs as the skier tracks

And people forget

Forget they're hiding



Behind an eminence front

Eminence front - it's a put on



Come and join the party

Dress to kill

Won't you come and join the party

Dress to kill



The drinks flow

People forget

That big wheels spin, the hair thins

People forget

Forget they're hiding

The news slows

People forget

The shares crash, hopes are dashed

People forget

Forget they're hiding



Behind an eminence front

Eminence front - it's a put on

Come and join the party

Dress to

Come and join the party

Dress to

Come and join the party

Dress to

Come and join the party

Dress to kill

Dress yourself, dressed to kill
