The Clash – The Right Profile

The Clash – The Right Profile Lyrics

Artist: The Clash
Song: The Right Profile

Say, where did I see this guy?
In “Red River”?
Or a “Place In The Sun”?
Maybe “The Misfits”?

Or “From Here To Eternity”?
And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “What’s he like?”
And everybody say, “He sure looks funny”

That’s Montgomery Clift, honey
New York, New York, 42nd Street
Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn

He ain’t got no shoes and his clothes are torn
And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “What’s he like?”
And everybody say, “He sure look funny”

That’s that Montgomery Clift, honey
I see a car smashed at night
Cut the applause and dim the light
Monty’s face is broken on a wheel

Is he alive? Can he still feel?
And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “Shine a light”
And everybody say, “It’s not funny”

That’s Montgomery Clift, honey
Shoot his right profile
And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “What’s he like?”

And everybody say, “He sure look funny”
That’s Montgomery Clift, honey
Nembutol numbs it all
But I prefer alcohol

And everybody say, “What’s he like?”
And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “He sure look funny”
That’s Montgomery Clift, honey!

He said go out and get me my old movie stills
Go out and get me another roll of pills
There I go again shaking, but I ain’t got the chills
And everybody say, “What’s he like?”

And everybody say, “Is he all right?”
And everybody say, “He sure looks funny”
I was trapped, Montgomery Clift, honey
