Discover the story of the song > Eminence Front – The Who

The protagonist sings about how people often forget their problems and worries when they are enjoying themselves, like when they are skiing or on a speedboat. He also talks about how people sometimes forget about bad things that are happening, like when stocks crash or when people lose their hair. The chorus of the song talks about how people can put on a front or pretend to be doing well, even when they are struggling. The protagonist invites others to come and join the party, but to dress up nicely for it.
