Lyrics for The Right Profile by The Clash
Songwriters: Jones, Mick; Mellor, John
That Montgomery Clift, honey!
Everybody say, "He's not fine"
That's the Montgomery Clift, honey!
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
There I go shaking, but I ain't got the chills
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
Go out 'n' get me another roll of pills"
He ain't got no shoes, his clothes are torn
(Say, say, say, say)
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
(Uhh, uhh)
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Hustlers rustle and pimp pimp the beat
Everybody say, "What's he like?"
Maybe a misfit
Alcohol
But I prefer
Seems as the right profile
New York, New York, 42nd Street
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
(New York, New York)
I see a car smashed at night
Is he alive?
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
Cut the applause and dim the light
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Can he still feel?
Nembutal, numbs it all
He said, "Go out, get me my old movie stills
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Monty's face is broken on a wheel
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
Everybody say, "Shine a light"
An' everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Argh buh buh argh!
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Or a place in the sun?
In Red River?
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
From here to eternity}
Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
