Here Be Monsters Lyrics

Something In My Eye
_____________________________________________________________________
Spider has eight legs you know 
Spins its web the patterns flow
There's something in my eye 
Bloodshot in disguise 
God knows I really tried 
Making the big time 
Aiming to climb high
Scattered seeds can't fight the cold 
Circus horse just wants to hold
There's something in my eye 
Bloodshot in disguise 
God knows I'm really tired 
Let's make the big time 
Aiming to climb high
Let's make the big time 
Aiming to climb high 
Aiming to climb high
Spider has eight legs you know

God Protect Your Soul
_____________________________________________________________________
Well I hope God protects your soul 
I don't know if you should leave home alone 
Maybe you've been drinking from the Devil's bowl 
I can't express myself 'cause I'm not fully grown
My heartache, is my mistake you see 
My heartache, is my mistake you see
Well I am conscious of the way that I act 
But I won't betray you, you can be sure of that 
I'm not a pet who does tricks at the drop of a hat 
I wish I was fiction, I wish I was fact
My heartache, is my mistake you see 
My heartache, is my mistake you see
I need to build a wall around me 
I need to build a wall around me 
But I want to smile with everybody 
Would you say that is possessive of me? 
Would you say that is possessive of me?
Yes we feel bad in winter 
We act a little bit strange 
The dark sky threatens me daily 
Makes me alter and change, change, change, change
I need to build a wall around me
I need to build a wall around me 
But I want to smile with everybody 
Would you say that is possessive of me? 
Would you say that is possessive of me?
I need to build a wall around me
I need to build a wall around me 
But I want to smile with everybody 
Would you say that is possessive of me? 
Would you say that is possessive of me?

She Fell Into My Arms
_____________________________________________________________________
Well I burnt all my travellers cheques 
Just to show you my respect 
Then I hung myself out to dry 
And you looked at me and asked me why
So I said I don't mind if I lose
'Cause if I win I'll be so confused 
But that's not what you'd expect 
And if you need to kiss me 
Then you'll most definitely miss me 
When I'm gone
Well there's a thousand things I shouldn't do 
But if I do them I should do them with you 
So won't you fall into my arms again 
And hold me for the world may end
And if you need to kiss me 
Then you'll most definitely miss me 
When I'm gone
God, you make me sing 
Funny things about you 
You infect my mind 
All the time, you do
Well I just can't contain myself In fact 
I'm worried I might lose my health 
I can't eat, sleep or hardly breathe 
I can hardly ever watch you leave
And if you need to kiss me 
Then you'll most definitely miss me 
When I'm gone
God, you make me sing 
Funny things about you 
You infect my mind 
All the time, you do

Those Crimson Tears
_____________________________________________________________________
Moving like a dancing bear 
It's in my blood 
Falling down the marble stairs 
It's in my blood
Oh my dear, that's the way 
I am made, I'm afraid
Those crimson tears 
Drip on the floor, drip on the bar 
Those crimson tears 
Stain what I wore, drip on the bar
Swinging a punch, connect to the eye 
It's in my blood 
I've got a hunch I should just stay quiet 
It's in my blood
Oh my dear, that's the way 
I am made, I'm afraid
Those crimson tears 
Drip on the bar, drip on the floor 
Those crimson tears 
Drip on the bar, stain what I wore

Hanging With The Wrong Crowd
_____________________________________________________________________
Hey baby Jane, you have been climbing down the drain 
And you run in the rain to the playground climbing frame 
And the air seems so good and moist and cool 
When you meet him by the swimming pool
What's a girl to do? 
When you're locked up in Mother Goose's shoe
And you're hanging, and you're hanging, and you're hanging
With the wrong crowd 
You're hanging, and you're hanging, and you're hanging 
With the wrong crowd
Dad owns a bank and is known by the name of Hank, 
And your Mum hates your pranks and she gives the Almighty thanks for your
food, which is rank and puts him in a dangerous mood and it's true they hate 
your friends like you
What's a girl to do? 
When you're yearning for something else new
And you're hanging, and you're hanging, and you're hanging 
With the wrong crowd 
You're hanging, and you're hanging, and you're hanging 
With the wrong crowd 
You're hanging, you're hanging, you're hanging 
With the wrong crowd

Apple Of My Eye
_____________________________________________________________________
When you're on your own 
You walk in the rain 
You walk around the house 
Then walk around it again
You pretend you're happy 
That you've got it all 
But don't be upset If you fall on your knees
And beg like a dog
I've reached a low, don't you know 
You're the apple of my eye 
I'm running low, with this show 
No matter how I try 
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye
I drink a lot of wine 
When I am alone 
I lose my track of time
My ideas turn to stone 
I pretend I'm sad 
That I'm still so small 
But I'm not upset If 
I fall on my knees 
And beg like a dog
I've reached a low, don't you know 
You're the apple of my eye 
I'm running low, with this show 
No matter how I try 
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye
I've reached a low, don't you know 
You're the apple of my eye 
I'm running low, with this show 
No matter how I try 
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye

Beneath The Heart Of Darkness
_____________________________________________________________________
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Lies an old machine that's dying
Spluttering like an army of artillery sporadically firing 
The roots of the house are cracking, caving in 
There's no way out, it's trapped in
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Lies an old machine that's reeling 
Forgotten dust and sunlight 
Silent and removed from feeling 
The peace in my mind is drowning, fading down 
There's nothing left burning, it's all out
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Lies an old machine that's...
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Beneath the heart of darkness 
Beneath the heart of darkness

Wind Through The Trees
_____________________________________________________________________
Oh my deserted one 
You must put down your father's gun
When the sundial reaches midday 
Shut your eyes and then look away
Something's wrong, they're all gone 
I will walk through the long, long grass and say your name
Shot through the chest and head 
She killed everyone stone dead 
And the wind blew once more through the trees 
Now she's coming straight back to me
Little things, the insect's sting 
I will walk through the long, long grass and say you're
Running from the dark 
Look what you have done 
Running from the dark Look what you have done 
But you can't run from me 
'Cause I'm the wind through the trees 
No you can't hide from me
Running from the dark
Look what you have done 
Running from the dark 
Look what you have done 
But you can't run from me 
'Cause I'm the wind through the trees 
No you can't hide from me 
'Cause I'm the wind through the trees

Birds Fly Backwards
_____________________________________________________________________
Sad, blue, the world is upside down 
And birds fly backwards 
Cats, dogs, fall first upon the ground 
And birds fly backwards
Packed bags in the hallway 
Where we used to play all day 
We're hitting the road that 
Leads us back again
Sad, blue, the future's not too clear
And birds fly backwards 
Clouds tower, I have nothing to fear 
And birds fly backwards
Packed bags in the hallway 
Where we used to play all day 
We're hitting the road that 
Leads us back again
To the same old world we left

Shanghai
_____________________________________________________________________
Let's move away together, go interplanetary 
Maybe in Chinese weather, where it's sanitary 
I'll go out trawler fishing, yeah we'll have tuna steak 
I'm on a special mission, for us to have a break
We'll climb the corporate buildings 
Spray-paint the outside walls 
You bet that they'll be yielding 
When the castle falls 
We'll swim beneath the ocean 
Near the coral reef I have a certain notion 
That it will not be brief
We're going to Shanghai
To watch the red sky 
We're moving to Shanghai 
Goodbye, goodbye 
We're going to Shanghai
So don't you cry 
We're moving to Shanghai
Looks like we might have made it
Put on your silkworm dress 
You look so beautiful and I look such a mess 
Across the city's landscape, the sun burns crimson red 
Maybe the moon will wait, before we go to bed
We're going to Shanghai 
To watch the red sky 
We're moving to Shanghai 
Goodbye, goodbye 
We're going to Shanghai 
So don't you cry 
We're moving to Shanghai
Maybe, maybe we'll have a fresh new start 
I'll learn the martial arts 
We'll have our own rickshaw cart 
We're moving to Shanghai

Like Only Lovers Can
_____________________________________________________________________
Out of nowhere I was there 
But you took your time 
No one thought that I could get you 
Then they changed their minds
You know that I have a perfect plan 
Drown in each other like only lovers can 
Something is bound to come your way 
And I'll watch you run astray
Walk amongst the others 
Clearly state your aim 
Slide beneath the covers 
And I will say your name
In the city, crowds run wild 
Like ants on a farm 
Villains may commit their crimes 
But I won't do you harm
You know that I have a perfect plan 
Drown in each other like only lovers can 
Something is bound to come your way
And I'll watch you run astray
Like only lovers can 
Like only lovers can 
Like only lovers can

there you go...loads o mistakes probably...oh well, 
ta
Tom
