Mott - Monte Carlo lyrics

rate me

(Overend Watts)

Everyone agrees, a little money helps to please,

But I just took so much of it, I'm shakin' at the knees

And we've gotta leave this town.

We've had a heavy day, but the law want us to stay,

We told them "Thanks a lot, but we've just got to get away"

And we've gotta leave right now!

There's a place I gotta be, and time won't wait for me

But I gotta make it alone

I can see the river wind, and hear the guns behind

We gotta move, we gotta run,

away from what we've done.

Only yesterday I was lazing in the sun,

Makin' out with bar-room queens and boozing like a bum

Now we've gotta leave this town

It don't seem really fair, but then thinkin' of my share,

I guess it can't be bad, 'cos I must be a millionaire,

So we've gotta leave right now.

There's a place I gotta go where nobody'll know

And I've gotta make it alone

I can see the hills ahead, and the skyline turning red ....

Now I'm crawling down the street with an independent air,

Feeling good from being loose, so we ain't got a care

And feeling like settling down

But someone starts to stare, and he jumps up from his chair,

Before he gets to make a sound, I'm sitting on my mare

And we've gotta leave right now

I don't know where to go, and I'm feeling pretty low

But I've gotta make it alone

And as I turn around, I can see a dusty cloud ....

We gotta move, we gotta run,

Away from what we've done

We gotta move, we gotta run,

All the way to Monte Carlo.
