Emma Pollock - Monster in the Pack lyrics

To the rock where the monkeys steal as we walk by And the night owl who serenades from homely skies Buying cherries in the brown paper bag on the street stall There's a monster in the pack Buying cherries in the brown paper bag as the storm creeps And he says he's got my back Paying me with hard cash To help him pull in the slack And I only go to church cause I like the things they have I put the hymnbook in my bag But I'm still without a plan And leave my faith in you behind Can you smell the storm coming? The sun comes with a warning Staring through the shop front Handlebars sparkle in the light Richard of York spitting colours in the sky I see myself taking a corner in full flight Buying cherries in the brown paper bag as the leaves fall There's a monster in the pack Paying me with hard cash To help him pull in the slack And I only go to church cause my friends are out today There's a monster here to play And he says he's got my back To help him pull in the slack There's a monster in the pack My head is full of noise Won't you listen it's so loud in here My heart and my silence break My head is full of noise Won't you listen it's so loud in here My heart and my silence break And the silence Can you smell the storm coming? The sun comes with a warning Staring through the shop front Handlebars sparkle in the light There's a monster in the pack
