about

A crucial missing piece is finally put in place. “Monstrous was always intended to have a female harmony part in the second verse but back then a lack of studio time meant it didn’t happen. But this time, as well as some lovely fiddle-playing alongside Iain’s superb mandolin work, Amy’s added a wonderful vocal part is all that I hoped for and I think she’s taken the song to another level. It’s a great way to end the EP.”

lyrics

So maybe there's this monster
That lurks inside of me
Best you don't see it
Best we let it be

Best let these kind of monsters
Hide themselves where no one else will see
Or lock them in the wardrobe
Then don't forget to throw away the key
Best let that kind of monster
Cry themselves to sleep alone at night
But I am not the monster
The monster's just a little part of me

It's painful and it's lonely
Knowing there's a monstrous side of me.

But maybe you've got monster
Somewhere in your family tree
And maybe you're part monster
Just the same as me

Then we could be together
Huddled in a corner on our own
And we can stop pretending
And just be monstrous right down to the bone
But we'll be gentle monsters
And never bother anyone we meet
A pair of happy monsters
Getting on monstrously.
