That word appears in "Airegin" lyric:
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin Spelled backwards
Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin Gone fac'wards
Back long time ago they saw a ghost
Ghost made a boast
Soon that ghost was host
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin Spelled backwards
Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin Gone fac'wards
Back long time ago they saw a ghost
Ghost made a boast
Soon that ghost was host

Those losing their hue

If it is indeed "fac'wards", couldn't that be a combination of forwards and backwards?
