The name The Faces refers to well known people about town, and the band's previous incarnation as the Small Faces also referred to the diminutive stature of the band members. With the addition of Rod Stewart (5'8") and Ron Wood (5'9") the band dropped the "small" but continued as the Faces. However their first album was actually released in the U.S. under the name Small Faces due to a mistake by their record company.

There are more than one act with this name:
2) hip hop project of kasey karrer + roman luna

3) 1970s Nigerian afrobeat funk band

4) rapper, member of .Cult

Cindy Incidentally
Faces Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Cindy ain't you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local paper's run out of news
I'm not persuading you or disengaging you
But Cindy you and me we got to move

Can you refuse, no time to lose

We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lightning
Oh Cindy incidentally, baby I ain't putting you on

Can you refuse, with nothing to lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lightning

Oh Cindy, don't you worry
'Cause between us we can make it through
There ain't nothing, no, no, nothing
In the world I can do without you
So Cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse

Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd
And drink a round to this town and bid goodbye

The lyrics to Faces’ song Cindy Incidentally speak to the urgency of seizing the day and moving forward in life. The song begins with an observation that Cindy’s friends “have moved on” and the street outside is “just a little too quiet” - subtle signs that they must also move on.

Cindy is encouraged to put on her coat and leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse.

The chorus repeats the urgency of hitting the high road early in the morning, and the importance of not hesitating. Cindy is reassured that “between us we can make it through” and that the singer cannot imagine a world without her. The focus is on enjoying the present moment and saying goodbye to the town with a loud rendition of their music and a round of drinks.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh Cindy ain't you noticed
Hey Cindy, have you realized

That several of your friends have moved on
A few of your buddies have left

And the street outside is just a little too quiet
The road looks deserted and a tad too silent

And your local paper's run out of news
The news sources in your area have no more stories to tell

I'm not persuading you or disengaging you
I'm not pushing or separating from you

But Cindy you and me we got to move
But you and I need to get going

Can you refuse, no time to lose
Will you reject this opportunity? No time to waste

We'll hit the high road early this morning
We'll leave early in the morning

So don't be late, don't hesitate
Don't be tardy, don't dilly-dally

This dream can pass just as fast as lightning
This opportunity can slip away very quickly

Oh Cindy incidentally, baby I ain't putting you on
Oh, by the way, Cindy, I'm not teasing you

Can you refuse, with nothing to lose
Will you reject this chance, with nothing at stake

Oh Cindy, don't you worry
Hey Cindy, don't fret

'Cause between us we can make it through
Because we can get through it together

There ain't nothing, no, no, nothing
There's nothing, absolutely nothing

In the world I can do without you
I can't imagine life without you

So Cindy get your coat on
So, Cindy, put on your coat

Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Drop off the rent to the man in the penthouse

Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd
Turn the music up and draw a big audience

And drink a round to this town and bid goodbye
And let's have a drink for this town as we say farewell
