Monty Got A Raw Deal — текст песни (R.E.M.)

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



Monty this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing,
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don`t come easy

Now nonsense isn`t new to me
I know my head, I know my feet,
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said, Just let go, just let go

I saw the ocean meet the man
I saw you buried in the sand
A friend was there to hold your hand,
Said, Walk on by

So, I went walking through the street
I saw you strung up in a tree
A woman knelt there said to me,
Said, Hold your tongue, ma, hold your tongue

You don`t owe me anything
You don`t want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don`t you waste your breath (waste your breath)
For the silver screen

That nonsense doesn`t mean a thing,
They tried to bust you in a sting,
But virtue isn`t everything
So, don`t waste time

Now, here`s a rhyme that you can steal
Put this on your reel to reel
Mischief threw a rotten deal
Monty`s laying low, man
He is laying low
Just let go, y`all
Just let go

You don`t owe me anything
You don`t want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don`t you waste your breath (waste your breath)
Monty this seems strange to me
