Lyrics for Song: Monty Got A Raw Deal 
Lyrics for Album: Automatic For The People [1992]
  
               
  28497>Monty, this seems strange to me
  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 it 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 (Don't you waste your breath)
  Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
  For the silver screen
 
 
  That nonsense doesn't mean a thing
  They try 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 is lying low, he is lying low
  Just let it go, just let go
 
 
  You don't owe me anything
  You don't want this sympathy (Don't you waste your breath)
  Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
  Monty, this seems strange to me
