Review The Song (9)Print the Lyrics
Eminence Front, The Who: Ultimate Collection
written by Pete Townshend

The sun shines
People forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
People forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put-on.
It’s an eminence front
It’s an eminence front – It’s a put-on
An eminence front
Eminence front - put-on
Eminence front
It’s an eminence front
I’ts an eminence front – It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on

Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill
Dress to kill.

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, 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
An eminence front - it's a put-on
It is an eminence front
Eminence front – It’s a put-on
An eminence front
An eminence front - put-on
Eminence front
It’s an eminence front - it's a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on

Come and join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to kill

Dress yourself to kill.

Review about Eminence Front

Wikipedia ripoff | Reviewer: Loren | 5/21/2008
    Dan's post is a ripoff from the previously entered article about this song from Wikipedia. I love how he says "in my eyes". True, to a point, since he viewed the Wikipedia article in order to copy it.



    What its about. | Reviewer: Dan | 3/7/2008

    This song has a lot do to with how life was in the 80's, and about its hedonistic lifestyle, basically a very prophetic song in my eyes, considering it was written in 1981. It's lyrics are about people going to parties and forgetting what problems you have, instead, hiding behind a facade, or in this case - and Eminence Front. Take it from Townshend: " This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder ". This was the introduction to the song at each live performance.



    eminence front | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/3/2008

    just reading it it sounds like the eminence front is how we mislead ourselves and others about our greatness or dominance. the lyrics go from talking about the way we present ourselves as individuals, like being dressed to kill, and also the lines about stocks sound like hes expanding that idea to the way we do business, always trading favorably, if not exploitatively. like hes saying western culture is full of fronts and put-ons and when its rubbed in our face by big events like stocks crashing or the aging of our bodies, we just forget and move on. maybe thats just my spin. if he said he wrote it on acid then im kinda impressed.



    LSD | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/27/2008

    I really cant find this meaning in th esong but at the concert las year at teh nassau collesium townshend said it was written about lsd and that he wrote it either before or after he tried it. he didnt remember. hahaha



    Great song | Reviewer: David | 9/8/2007

    First time i heard this song I was in a record (yes record) shop in Bluefield, WV. Was pretty much overwhelmed by the sound of it all as a whole. But was most impressed with Pete's voice.



    Phonies | Reviewer: Mark | 7/21/2007

    I love this song, was especially glad they played it last year. originally for the beat but then the lyrics got to me, sums up the whole reason why I don't go to bars anymore. Why can't anyone just be themself? I come from a government city where everyone seems to just be another brick in the wall. also being a smoker, and hating alcohol, its hard for me to relax and unwind while everyone is in a binge all around me.



    Remembering the 80's | Reviewer: Pete | 4/24/2007

    This song sparks a lot in the mind of those who lived in the 80's. At some point in our lives, we all had an eminence front. We put on our suits and ties and act like we were superior (fake it til you make it). Those people are forced, some by their work or their nightlife, to forget who they are. Then there are those that are living the dual life that "forget they're hiding". This kind of living will continue for generations and generations, whether good or bad. Just don't forget who you are, and put the Eminence front on, "it's a put-on".

    All my love,
    Pete :-)

    This is a great song. I think we all have a front of some kind that only we know.
