Little Faces Lyrics
In the dawn
When my toes are cold
They spread their little trinkets on the ground
In the hall
By the closet door
They creep into my bed without a sound
On a cube
In a plastic egg
A hundred fabric figures in a pile
See them march
Toward me in a line
And dance across the floor in a single file
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
Tiny doors
For walking through
While sticky fingers clutch forbidden things
And the phone
For talking through
They often pull the cable when it rings
Sinking ships
On a foamy sea
That roll and tumble slowly from the motion of their filthy
Little hands
Their little hands
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
In the dark
When their eyes are wide
They listen to the secrets that I tell
In a ball
On their tiny beds
Or beneath them where the shadow people dwell
And the moon
Beams that split the night
Leave bars of yellow pasted on their faces
As they drift into a dream
In a dream
Little faces keep no track of time
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
When my toes are cold
They spread their little trinkets on the ground
In the hall
By the closet door
They creep into my bed without a sound
On a cube
In a plastic egg
A hundred fabric figures in a pile
See them march
Toward me in a line
And dance across the floor in a single file
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
For walking through
While sticky fingers clutch forbidden things
And the phone
For talking through
They often pull the cable when it rings
Sinking ships
On a foamy sea
That roll and tumble slowly from the motion of their filthy
Little hands
Their little hands
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind
When their eyes are wide
They listen to the secrets that I tell
In a ball
On their tiny beds
Or beneath them where the shadow people dwell
And the moon
Beams that split the night
Leave bars of yellow pasted on their faces
As they drift into a dream
In a dream
Little faces speaking out in rhyme
Little faces smiling in my mind

To me it's obvious he's talking about children.
"They spread their little trinkets on the ground" is them leaving toys all over the place. "A hundred fabric figures in a pile" is stuffed toys "Tiny doors For walking through" is referring to comically small doors made for kids. "While sticky fingers clutch forbidden things" kids touching things that you don't want them touching. "Sinking ships On a foamy sea That roll and tumble slowly from the motion of their filthy Little hands" playing with toy boats in the bath.
"In the dark When their eyes are wide They listen to the secrets that I tell In a ball On their tiny beds" telling stories before they go to bed. "beneath them where the shadow people dwell" monsters under the bed "And the moon Beams that split the night Leave bars of yellow pasted on their faces As they drift into a dream" Them falling asleep.
he is talking about children... i would think, his own.. since they "creep into his bed without a sound"..
lol.sperm....
As I understand it theres a current rumor stating that the song was conjuerd up the same way lucy in the sky with dimonds was. As the story goes I belive it was Les who's son told him this imaginative story of The Little Faces, Les loved the imaginative idea and drafted an idea of the figment creatures; later to be further developed into a song mostly due to the work of Trey. Theres another addition to the tale, the claims rthe child singing in the last momments of the song is Les's child singing the original story, or so it is told.
little faces = sperm?
Lucy in the sky with diamonds was obviously an acid trip that's just something they made up, the picture Julian gave John Lennon isn't very closely connected to the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. It's possible you are right about this one but it's problem an acid trip again or something
