Face to Face
Laurie and the Sighs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go about my business
Ain't got nothing to lose
I'm just another nameless face and uniform
I am just a prostitute, my body's just my tomb
No need to feel sorry, I actually love what I do
I give 'em exactly they came here for
I am just a fantasy, a concubine inside of here
When you've had enough, I'll happily move on
I don't really care
I'd like to stay
A nameless face and uniform
I am just a bum
I'm here come rain or come sun
This is just my corner on the street where I belong
'Cause I like my rags, I get paid to do nothing
Except wear my nameless face and uniform
I am just a mad woman, the one in your kids cold stories
Every time they see me they turn pale and run
I'm a living horror story
Inside a nameless face and uniform
I am just a fantasy, a concubine inside of here
When you've had enough, I'll happily move on
I don't really care
I'd like to stay
A nameless face and uniform
I am just a fantasy, a concubine inside of here
When you've had enough, I'll happily move on
I don't really care
I'd like to stay
A nameless face and uniform
A nameless face and uniform
A nameless face and uniform
The lyrics of "Face to Face" by Laurie and the Sighs delve into the different personas and roles that individuals assume in society, and the sense of detachment and anonymity that can come with those roles. The first verse introduces a cleaning girl who sees herself as just another face in a uniform, emphasizing a lack of personal identity and self-worth beyond her job duties. She acknowledges her position and accepts it without feeling the need to assert herself.
The second verse shifts to a prostitute who views her body as a commodity and her profession as a means of fulfillment rather than shame. She embraces her role, providing clients with what they seek without emotional attachment or pity from others. Like the cleaning girl, she is resigned to being nameless and faceless, existing solely in her uniformed guise.
The third verse introduces a fantasy figure or concubine who offers escapism and pleasure to those seeking temporary solace. She is detached and indifferent, willing to move on when desired without concern for attachment or permanence. This character also embodies the theme of anonymity and uniformity, showcasing a pattern of self-effacement and detachment from personal identity.
The fourth verse introduces a bum who finds contentment in his destitution and societal isolation. He embraces his ragged appearance and apathy towards productivity, finding solace in his designated corner of the world. The final verse discusses a madwoman who invokes fear and avoidance in others, embodying a more negative and unsettling presence within the realm of anonymity and uniformity. Through these diverse characters, the song explores themes of identity, acceptance of societal roles, and the internal struggles and acceptance of one's outward appearance and perceived purpose within the broader context of society.

I am just a cleaning girl, don't have too much to prove
I am simply an individual doing menial work, without the need to impress anyone
I go about my business
I carry out my tasks without drawing attention to myself
Ain't got nothing to lose
I have no significant risk or consequence in my current situation
I'm just another nameless face and uniform
I am just another person in uniform, blending in with the crowd
I am just a prostitute, my body's just my tomb
I am simply a sex worker, where my body is my only asset and prison
No need to feel sorry, I actually love what I do
There is no need for sympathy, as I genuinely enjoy my profession
I give 'em exactly they came here for
I provide customers with what they desire
Another nameless face and uniform
Just another person blending in with the rest
I am just a fantasy, a concubine inside of here
I exist as a figment of desire, only present temporarily
When you've had enough, I'll happily move on
Once my purpose is fulfilled, I am content to depart
I don't really care
I am indifferent to the emotional attachment of others
I'd like to stay
I prefer to remain in my current state
A nameless face and uniform
An undistinguished presence among many others
I am just a bum
I am simply a homeless person, enduring all conditions
I'm here come rain or come sun
I persist in my spot, regardless of the weather
This is just my corner on the street where I belong
My place is defined by this particular street corner
'Cause I like my rags, I get paid to do nothing
I find comfort in my modest belongings and make a living without effort
Except wear my nameless face and uniform
Apart from blending in with others, that's all I do
I am just a mad woman, the one in your kids cold stories
I am portrayed as the crazy woman in children's cautionary tales
Every time they see me they turn pale and run
Upon encountering me, children are frightened and flee
I'm a living horror story
I embody a frightening narrative for those who encounter me
Inside a nameless face and uniform
Disguised within the identity of an ordinary person
A nameless face and uniform
A persona that lacks distinction and visibility
A nameless face and uniform
A persona that lacks distinction and visibility
A nameless face and uniform
A persona that lacks distinction and visibility

@daro2332 If you watch the original series before they retconned them, you'll see the stuff michael does to Loomis is pretty tame compared to what he is capable of, some examples are.
Halloween 2: A non lethal scalpel stab to Loomis's stomach, keep in mind it takes place in the same night as halloween 1, and he's already killed 16 people by that point.
Halloween 4: Doesn't kill Loomis at the Diner. Throws him through a glass door at the school to get him away from jamie(again not fatal).
Halloween 5: Non fatal cut to his stomach and throws him off about a 3 foot high stair, and proceeds to ignore him and make his way upstairs.
Halloween 6: They don't ever see eachother in this one.
Michael Never kills Loomis despite all the chances he had. I think this is because in some strange way, Loomis will for ever be his only "friend" and i am using that term loosely.
@yehiahuzayyin7972
Christopher Lee said that turning down the role of Dr. Loomis was his greatest regret, and while I certainly would have loved his take, Donald Pleasence WAS Dr. Loomis in role, voice and spirit. Rest in peace.
@cazza2754
Donald pleasance was the best fir this roll. Look up escape to victory this was a classic my friend
@theautomator8372
@@rjstudios822 Wrong, he was a choice for Loomis along with Peter Cushing the man who played Grand Moff Tarkin they both turned it down. Lee did say he regretted turning the role down and that it was his biggest mistake in his career. They both turned it down due too the low pay which isn't surprising since the first halloween film didn't have the biggest budget.
Just look it up.
@terrencemccoy4519
@The Automator John Carpenter and Debra Hill both said it in an interview later on. I think it was at an Halloween anniversary b4 Debra Hill passed away
@rjstudios822
@NotaHero🎭of911 you stupid idiotic fool
I said Christopher lee turned down grand moff tarkin.
I never said Donald pleasance auditioned.
Read carefully next time fool.
@ThaiThom
Donald Pleasance was perfect as Dr. Loomis. Christopher Lee - who is of course great - wouldn't have been as good, and the movie would not have worked as well as it did.
@MaryAnneRosato
Bracket: "A man wouldn't do that."
Loomis: "This isn't a man."
Loomis, you rock. RIP Donald Pleasance.
@dashiesbbgurl
It's the boogeyman
@wooweezymoviestar601
Do you all like Halloween (2018) ?
@stethacanthus7861
Bravo and a round of applause to Dr Loomis for calling out that bigoted cop - How dare he assume Michael Myers' gender!
