Monty I Got a Raw Deal Songtext
von R.E.M.

Monty this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don′t come easily
Now nonsense isn't new to me
I know my head, I know my feet
But mischief knocked me in the knees
So 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

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

He is laying low
Just let go
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
