Clash, The - The Right Profile Lyrics






Say, where did I see this guy?
In Red River?
Or a place in the sun?
Maybe the Misfits?
Or From Here to Eternity?

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
And everybody say, "What's he like?"
Everybody say, "He sure look funny."
That's...Montgomery Clift, honey!

New York, 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

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?

Nembutol numbs it all
But I prefer alcohol

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

ARRRGHHHGORRA BUH BHUH DO ARRRRGGGGHHHHNNNN!!!!

    [Verse 1]
    In Red River?
    Or A Place in the Sun?
    Maybe The Misfits?
    Or From Here to Eternity?

    [Chorus]
    Can 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!

    [Verse 2]
    New York, (New York) New York, 42nd Street
    Hustlers rustle and pimp pimp the beat
    Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
    He ain't got no shoes and his clothes are torn

    [Chorus]
    And everybody say, "Is he all right?"
    Can everybody say, "What's he like?"
    Everybody say, "He sure look funny"

    [Verse 3]
    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?

    [Chorus]
    And everybody say, "Is he all right?"
    And everybody say, "Shine the light!"
    Everybody say, "It's not funny"
    That's Montgomery Clift, honey!

    [Bridge]
    Shoot his right profile

    [Chorus]
    Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
    And everybody say, "What's he like?"
    Everybody say, "He sure look funny"
    That's Montgomery Clift, honey!

    [Verse 4]
    Nembutol
    Numbs it all
    But I prefer
    Alcohol


    [Chorus]
    And everybody say, "What's he like?"
    And everybody say, "Is he all right?"
    Everybody say, "He sure look funny"
    That's Montgomery Clift, honey!

    [Verse 5]
    He said go out and get me my old movie stills
    Go out and get me another roll of pills
    Everything's shakin', but I ain't got the chills

    [Chorus]
    And everybody say, "What's he like?"
    And everybody say, "Is he all right?"
    Everybody say, "He sure look funny"
    "I was trapped!" Montgomery Clift, honey

  4. D.... K....

    When he says "alcohooooool", i felt that.

  5. M.... P....

    Guy Stevens gave Strummer the copy of Montgomery Cliff's biography that he (Stevens) read during this album's recording. And voila'--out comes this song! And apparently after his accident, he preferred to be shot from only one side, his right side, so therefore the "Right Profile".

  6. m.... ....

    Basically, this is The Clash going through Montgomery Clift's IMDB page.

  7. B.... ....

    The greatest clash song for my car crash....
