BRIGHT MONSTERS

BRIGHT MONSTERS
Damage limitation I suppose you did
So what was the answer to your prayers
Some initiation I suppose you had
So what was it took you over there

Peaceful co-existance I suppose you want
So what was the reason for your tears
Looking for assistance I suppose you will
But is there any treason in your fears

Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now
Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now

Kamikaze litmus I suppose you used
So what was the result of your test
Alkaline barrier I suppose you made
Building up the walls of your nest

Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now
Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now

Primitive divination I suppose you cleared
So what was the verdict of your cards
Holistic image nation I suppose you saw
But now all your things are in the yard

Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now
Do, do, do, do what you will
Do what you will right now

Fun Facts:

  • At Wud Records we always loved the imagery Pete created in this song.
  • “What was it took you over there” should probably have the ‘there’ in italics with a ?! at the end.
  • This is because it refers to the enormous surprise Pete felt that his son had become such good friends with a born-again Christian.
  • “Do what you will” is from the Kabbalistic axiom “Do what you will shall be the whole of the Law”.
  • Baby Tessa interpreted the “Do what you will” as doowadu, much as she did with other Dark Company songs – Reasons from Ghost of the Art, Mister Dream from Alien Heat and Tip the Rest from Bad Habits.
  • This song is in the key of A.
  • Pete wrote Bright Monsters about his estranged son, and his hopes and fears concerning a potential improvement in their relationship.
  • The curious acoustic stringed instrument in the demo version is a six-string balalaika.
