(A) Face in the Crowd

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country.

Our Star doesn't know who he is any 
More, Is he the star maker, the image 
Maker, looking for material or is he 
Just plain boring little Norman after all? 
Perhaps he should accept that he 
Is a plain ordinary bloke and not try to 
Be something he is not. 

(A) Face In The Crowd 
I've got to stop faking it, 
I've got to start facing it, 
I'm going to take my final bow 
Then I'm going to take my place in the crowd. 
I know I'll get used to it, 
I've got to stop acting like a clown. 

I've gotta start facing up to what I really am. 
I've got to realize I'm just an ordinary man. 
I think that I'll just settle down 
And take my place in the crowd. 
I don't want to lie to myself any more. 

Am I just a face in the crowd, is that all I'll ever be? 
Don't want to be anything that isn't really me. 
Mister, can you tell me who I am? 
Do you think I stand out 
Or am I just a face in the crowd?
