Monkees, The - Birth Of An Accidental Hipster Lyrics






And if I can make it home by Tuesday
That’s if I can make it home at all
I’m headed out in the sunshine, babe
Feeling to your knees
Nobody else but my only self

Do you know
Where we go?
Do you know
When we go?

High in a rooftop, singing a song
Choirs of angels all sing along
It’s late and I’m scared, so please, don’t be long
I’m still not sure where I came from
Feeling low

Gone are the doubts of clouds I had before
Gone are the blinkers ’round my eyes
I’m heading out in the sunshine, babe
Feeling to your knees
Nobody else but my only self

Do you know
Where we go?
Do you know (Old friends say, oh, he’s lost his way)
When we go? (But they can’t see what I can see)
Do you know (Oh, I’ll never come back)
Where we go? (I’m headed out in the sunshine, baby)
Do you know
Where we go?

High in a rooftop, singing a song
Choirs of angels all sing along
It’s late and I’m scared, so please, don’t be long
I’m still not sure where I came from
Feeling low

  9. f.... k....

    First time seeing this, and I think it is very good. In fact, I love it!

  10. R.... G....

    Just a gem of a song. Beats the pants off of the Beatles' similarly-conceived "Free as Bird".

  11. 1.... ....

    Put The Monkees in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Even The Beatles were their fans.

  12. T.... M....

    Rest in Peace Davy and Peter

  13. A.... C....

    Wow. Uh...boy...this is incredible in the best way. I thought this was a new number they did until I read the comments. Thank you! I love it!

    A.... C....

    Aaron Collins glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏼

  21. M.... A....

    RIP Peter and Davy

  22. J.... D....

    RIP Peter Tork. Thanks for the music and the memories.

  23. A.... Y....

    Its a day after Peter left us and I broke down watching Davy and Peter hug in this.

    A.... Y....

    AlwaysaMystery Yes 💔

  24. P.... ....

    Fantastic song.

  25. L.... M....

    Written by two purposeful hipsters

  26. K.... M....

    What a tune noel and mr weller wrote..it dosnt seem out of place..this could have been written in the 60s.....genius....

  27. K.... M....

    Please paul.and noel...make a record together will you.....

  28. K.... ....

    Awesome video well done really really well put together and a good tribute to a fantastic band

  29. M.... T....

    Have you done any more of these vids? Please say yes!

    M.... T....

    Margaret, a Torkee unfortunately not, being busy finishing my debut feature film

  30. M.... T....

    A lovely labor of love. Thank you

  31. L.... C....

    Weller and Gallagher composition!! Really updated!!

  32. T.... D....

    Great mix of new with the classic show.. love it!

  33. I.... P....

    That was great! The part where Davy was leaving with the shot of the other three, nearly made me cry.

  34. l.... s....

    not too good

  35. P.... C....

    Love this song. Mike does this so good .

  36. B.... H....

    Noel, you did us all proud, thanks for your gift, we salute you!

  37. A.... ....

    This is the GREATEST thing. I come constantly to watch it. I live this song and love this video for it. I cry at the Davy leaving every time.

    A.... ....

    A3rc glad you enjoy it.

  38. T.... M....

    It's been awhile since I said this...but I must again! Brilliant!

    T.... M....

    The Monkees Archives thank you 😊

  39. P.... L....

    Well put together!

  40. D.... ....

    This is what I always thought the Monkees would sould like today, what a great song.

  41. C.... L....

    this video is great, it just made me realise how much their voices have aged

    C.... L....

    Colin Lievens True. With the exception of Micky, whose voice continues to remain sweetly fresh. He has made the most out of his voice and it is even better than the sixties. Check out his singing on ‘Merry Christmas Baby’ on the Christmas Party album. Peter and Mike’s voices have changed but their passion has not. Imagine if we all could be successfully doing what made us most happy at their ages!

  42. M.... L....

    Fantastic!

  43. t.... p....

    Paul Weller. ?

  44. R.... V....

    THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO its perfect i'm crying

    R.... V....

    Rebecca Vega glad you liked it 😊

    Rock n Roll and the supremacy of youth. How fleeting it all is.

    T.... C....

    Timothy Collins thank you

  50. B.... H....

    All I can say is WOW!!! You have truly done an excellent job with this video!

    #inductthemonkees

  51. J.... R....

  52. R.... S....

    Very well done!!!! Bravo!

  53. M.... M....

    Great editing and lip synching

  54. M.... ....

    Is that somebody coughing in the studio during recording at the 2:20 mark? lol

    M.... ....

    Sounds like Mike hiccupped!

  55. C.... S....

    Now we just wait for the Weller Gallagher collaboration...because if this is any kind of gauge, it'll be mega.

    C.... S....

    C Synch I would like to hear Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller perform the song together.

  56. M.... T....

    C.... C....

    Carmen Chamorro Gracias

  65. P.... P....

    GREAT JOB!!!!!!

    P.... P....

    Pourlephone Productions thank you

  66. M.... S....

    @TheMonkees please work out a deal with this filmmaker and let this be the official video to this song. It is perfect, for a perfect song. Absolutely captures the spirit of the Monkees.

  67. m.... ....

    I never heard this song before. Love it! I also love the clothing style of the mid-late 60's before Woodstock of 69'. The big belt on those bell bottom pants look amazing on men. Up until the 70's people were dressy. After that we dressed like slobs.

    m.... ....

    ILsinglemom3 it's called Good Times, it was released in June I think. Yes, my favourite Monkee tracks are not hits, so many hidden gems.

    m.... ....

    @Carlos Boellinger Thanks. I will check it out.

    m.... ....

    my3stooges I believe that this album, Good Times, was their twelfth album. This year’s “Christmas Party” album makes thirteen but... both were available with bonus selections. Not counting dozens of compilation albums. Peter, (💕swoon...), once said that he was always being asked to sign albums, (CD’s), that he had never seen before.

    m.... ....

    @Margaret, Theophilus and there were of course 3 jam-packed volumes of bonus material called missing links.

    m.... ....

    @my3stooges well you are in luck! All of their albums are available here to enjoy for free on their official YouTube channel. If you need help finding them let me know.

  68. M.... S....

    Nice, nice, nice. the editing on this is...Monkees caliber.

    M.... S....

    Thank you

  69. W.... B....

    this has filled me with such sincere joy. thank you.

    W.... B....

    Thank you

  70. H.... S....

    Omg.. thats so sad .. 2:17 ist like they say goodbye to Davy for the last time ever .. rip Davy

    H.... S....

    Watching that scene gets to my heart. I know that they are acting but it just gets too real...RIP Manchester Cowboy...

    H.... S....

    @Sand Hanitizer I was born in 1953. I remember the Monkees TV series.

    H.... S....

    @Sand Hanitizer I'm one of the Baby Boomer Generation

    H.... S....

    @Sand Hanitizer I'm a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964). I remember "The Monkees" TV series when it was a prime time TV series. It ran for two seasons, (1966--1968).

    We said goodbye to Peter Tork on Thursday, February 21, 2019, who passed away from cancer. RIP Peter.

  71. v.... ....

    You did a fantastic job on this! Anybody that doesn't love the Monkees is brainless and heartless,and "Good Times" is their best album in years...

    v.... ....

    Thank you. Too right

    v.... ....

    vonsmitty1313 I don't listen to them, but I respect them.

  72. b.... ....

    Damn near perfect. And you managed to use my favourite bit of romp footage (those uber-groovy Monkee boots in slow motion) with my favourite section of the song :) Though the whole song is also better than ANYTHING else this year :))

    b.... ....

    Thank you! Totally agree about the song !

  73. j.... ....

    Who is singing lead vocals on this ?

    j.... ....

    Nez (with Micky)

    j.... ....

    +Carlos Boellinger it's a really great song, first time I've ever heard it. good video too

    j.... ....

    +justmadeit2 glad you like the video. The song is from their new album.

    j.... ....

    justmadeit2 it sounds to me like Mickey

    j.... ....

    Mike starts out on lead, with the "And if I can make it home by Tuesday..." line. Micky sings the middle bridge ("High in a rooftop, singin' a song..."). It's an "A Day In The Life" style duet.

  74. S.... O....

    Wish Nez still had his '67 (or even '97) voice for this song. However like the aged Frank Sinatra he can still plumb a great song like this to its deepest depths.

  75. S.... O....

    Wish Nez still had his '67 (or even '97) voice for this song. However like the aged Frank Sinatra he can still plumb a great song like this to its deepest depths.

  76. l.... j....

    was this song written for them specifically?

  77. R.... ....

    No words. Speechless! BRAVO!

    R.... ....

    Thank you

  78. Q.... ....

    If I squint really hard, it almost looks like he's actually synching the right words. Seriously though, this is beautiful.

    Q.... ....

    Hahaha I did the same while editing it. Thank you.

    Q.... ....

    I prefer Zippy the Pinhead's declaration that "Their mouths look like little oysters!"

    Q.... ....

    If they *were* 'roids, he would've been named *Clench* Cargo...

    Q.... ....

    @Ken Lieck
    bahahahaha

  79. D.... �....

    This is fantastic! Great job!

    D.... �....

    Thank you

  80. J.... W....

    This is beautifully edited. Video pairs with the song perfectly

    J.... W....

    Thank you.

  81. k.... ....

    Really moving and lovely. Only a true fan and fine person could have done this. The work you did to get the right singers, the vaudville bits, the guitar solos, and even Micky hitting the cymbal on time with a song 50 YEARS on is great and moving. Respect.

    k.... ....

    Thanks for your words. Glad people can see the love I put into this. It helps that is a great track too!

    k.... ....

    @Carlos Boellinger We said goodbye to Peter Tork on Thursday, February 21, 2019.

  82. B.... G....

    Wow! You did a fantastic job with this video. Awesome!

    B.... G....

    Thank you.

  83. c.... s....

    Yes, brilliant edit! hats off.

    c.... s....

    Thank you

  84. A.... P....

    Is it possible to.like this video 100 times. if it was I would. for the song and the quality. and the work put into doing this. thank you do much

    A.... P....

    Well, thank you for the nice comment.

  85. J.... W....

    The work that went into making this video truly is worthy of Kudos... great job feels just like a Monkees romp from TV

    J.... W....

    Thank you, that was the idea!

  86. M.... S....

    My favorite!

  87. R.... M....

    Very well done! Bravo!

    R.... M....

    Thank you

  88. A.... ....

    So good. :)

  89. P.... ....

    you can tell the 'im still not sure where i came from ' bit is the weller wriiten bit

  90. C.... D....

    Excellent!

  91. C.... C....

    Wow! Very nice!

    C.... C....

    Thank you

  92. C.... ....

    My cat literally loves this song by the way.

    C.... ....

    your cat has good taste in music then

  93. R.... C....

    Love it, from the syncing to the theme changes to the poignant symbolic "passing on" of Davy. This is the best video from the LP I've seen yet, including the "official" comic book one. Bravo!!!

    R.... C....

    Thank you for your comment. It was truly a labour of love.

    R.... C....

    do you mind if I try an edit? Keeping your edit, just playing with it. You'll get full credit as author and veto rights, or better, just post it on yours

    R.... C....

    @Rockslide Central go for it! ;)

  94. J.... W....

    love this!

  95. k.... P....

    makes sense that Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller wrote the best track on the record.

    k.... P....

    kringles Paul agreed

    k.... P....

    I'd like to hear noel play this song.

    k.... P....

    It's really like the best Oasis song that Oasis never got to do. Weller and Gallagher wrote an Instant classic. It's my favorite off of "Good Times." And Mike Nesmith can do no wrong.

  96. B.... ....

    This will work nicely until the guys make an official video! Well done!!!

  97. M.... ....

    I love how you put them mouthing some of the words, as well as them singing "high on a rooftop" as they are headed up the stairs. Great job! :)

  98. S.... ....

    Too cool and awesome. My favorite track from the new album!

    S.... ....

    mine too.....
