faces – that’s all you need lyrics

sit right down if you can spare me a minute
i got a tale that’s bound to break your heart
concerns my brother who’s thin and played violin
got it in his head that an iq was all you need

he went his way, i couldn’t discover mine
i didn’t worry if i ever saw him again
he’s made a profit while i don’t even own a pocket
and the last i heard he was sitting at the top of the tree
for a minute

late last night reading my underground press
came a knock on the door, thought it was the third world war
lord above, i did not recognize him
i said, “have a cup of c-ke, kid, maybe that’s all you need”

he said, “the smell of the city, kid, it’s trying to kill me
my eyes are getting muddy, christ, i’m aging fast
with my kind of music, i knew it wasn’t gonna to be simple
but have a quick listen, kid, maybe that’s all you need”

don’t stop, you make me feel much better
tell me, my brother, do you think that’s all i need?
yeah yeah

don’t it make you happy?
well, well, well, well, well
that’s all you need
incomprehensible

that’s all you need
and that’s all you need
and that’s all you need
and that’s all you need

come on
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

that’s all you need
that’s all you need
that’s all you need
that’s all you need

that’s all you need
that’s all you need
that’s all you need
that’s all you need
