monty got a raw deal

Singer: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. 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

man. hold your tongue. you don't owe me anything. you don't want this sympathy. don't you 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. don't you waste your breath. monty this seems strange to me.
