Song updated, review now!
The Face of '69

Words and music Alan Merrill

Pete was young and slow
With the name and face of 68
In a teenage magazine they called Rave
So I took my guitar and voice and face
Why I was running out of time
I wanted to be
the Face of 69

So I crossed the planet
Made it round the world
From Rome and Tokyo
Stayed in Swinging London Town
Near Madame Tussaud's
Then a producer from Decca
Named Aldred cut some songs
It seemed to work out oh so fine
And I wanted to be
The Face of 69

The Face of 69
It coulda been mine
But I missed my chance
I'm always falling behind
Well I got to score
In 1974
But it really would have been so fine
To be the Face
The Face of 69

Well I started to panic
When the UK deal didnt materialize
I was big in Japan
So to stay'd be
Career suicide
First I ran out of patience
Then I ran out of money
And flew back on a cheap airline
I wasn't meant to be
The Face of 69

The Face of 69
It coulda been mine
But I missed my chance
I'm always falling behind
With the Arrows show
I finally had a go
But it really would have been divine
To be the face
My rightful place
To be the Face
The Face of 69
