from the songs album Automatic For The People
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, man. 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.
