tweeter and the monkey man

• travelling wilburys grubunun cok guzel bir parcasi. vokal bob dylan. yanilmiyorsam parcayi da o yazmis.
• tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash
  they stayed up all night long selling cocaine and hash
  to an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
  for reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man
  tweeter was a boyscout before he went to viet nam
  and found out the hard way that nobody gives a damn
  they knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
  so they hopped into a stolen car, took highway 99
  
  and the walls came down... all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
  
  the undercover cop never liked the monkey man
  even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
  jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named bill
  she made secret thoughts of the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
  it was out on thunder road, tweeter at the wheel
  they crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
  the undercover cop pulled up and said every one of you's a liar
  if you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire
  
  then the walls came down all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
  
  an ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
  tweeter took his gun away, and messed up his mind
  the undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
  near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
  next day the undercover cop was a hot in pursuit
  he was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
  jan had told him many times, it was you to me who taught that
  in jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught
  
  then the walls came down all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
  
  so a place by ralway prison they ran out of gas
  the undercover cop had cornered them, said, "ah, you didn't think that this could last"
  jan jumped out of bed, said, "there's someplace i gotta go"
  she took a gun out of the drawer, said, "it's best that you don't know"
  the undercover cop was found face down in a field
  the monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield
  jan said to the monkey man, "i'm not fooled by tweeter's cool
  i knew it long before he ever became a jersey girl"
  
  then the walls came down all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
  
  now the town of jersey city is quieting down, again
  i'm sitting in a gambling club called the lion's den
  the t.v. set was blown up, every bit of it was gone
  ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on
  i guess i'll go to florida to get myself some sun
  there ain't no more opportunity here, everything been done
  sometime i think of tweeter, sometimes i think of jan
  sometimes i don't think about nothin' but the monkey man
  
  then the walls came down all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
  
  then the walls came down all the way to hell
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell...
• bob dylan in sarki sozu yerine, guzel hikayeler yazma gudusunun isledigi, asmis oldugunu her dinleyisimde bir kez daha kesfettigim traveling wilburys sarkisi.
• her açıdan mükemmelliğe yaklaşabilmiş nadir şarkılardandır.. bir insanı sırf müzik dinlemeyi sevdiğine mutlu eder..
• (bkz: loop'a alınacak şarkılar)
• süper rock grubu bob dylan, george harrison, jeff lynne, roy orbison ve tom petty'nin oluşturduğu grubun enfes parçası. bob dylan'ın hikaye anlatma yeteneği diğer üyelerin müzikalitesiyle birleşince harika bir parça ortaya çıkmış.
  
  iki uyuşturucu satıcısının hikayesini anlatırken belki de dönemi en kaba tabirle eleştirmiştir. ayrıca, iki cümle vardır ki parçada düşlerle ve uyuşturucularla yaşayanları tam olarak aktarmıştır. ne mi onlar?
  
  buyursunlar:
  
  never saw them when they were standing
  never saw them when they fell
• uzun yıllar sonra tekrar hatırlanıp loop'a alınacak parçalardan
  kimse de link vermemiş, buyrun
• lan bu ne. biz ne dinliyorduk şuana kadar hiç anlamıyorum.
