Waking The Monster Lyrics


The professor is building something extraordinary
From the first signs, well, I knew he would hide it from me
Clang, clang, rattle and buzz
There's a helicopter blade and a bit of a truck
He's got no more quality time to be going on adventures
Spending mornings on black keys
Using a weegie board or finding hidden places
That have never been sorta brave
Origami full of grace
The professor is mad and he's working a feverish pace
Diabolical, delicious things
Something is bad and it's something within me
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring
Dastardly, it's got the best of me
The professor is building all kinds of devilish device
There's one part with a singular bit of delight

And bang, crash, glitter and bug
There's a phonographic needle and a stereo heart
He's got no plans to make an announcement
No preliminary sketches or advice to impart in me
One ounce of jealousy
Fifty seven gallons juvenile delinquency
Super supremacy, I've gotta find an answer
Gotta fashion a skeleton key
Diabolical, delicious deeds
Something is bad and it's shrouded of secrecy
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring
Dastardly, it's got the best of me
There are really few dimensions
Three, which we call the three planes of space
And a fourth, time
The professor is building something extraordinary
Behind bars and a door he won't open for me
Kind words and a barrel of a gun will make him come to grips
Make him face up to what he has done
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring
Dastardly, it's got the best of me
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there?
Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring
Dastardly, it's got the best of me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Darren Stanley Hayes (born 8 May 1972 in Brisbane, QLD) is an Australian singer-songwriter. He's best known as the vocalist of the hugely popular 90's duo Savage Garden, whose international hits included "Truly Madly Deeply", "I Want You" and "I Knew I Loved You".

Hayes' first solo album Spin was released in 2002, carrying on in the same musical vein as Savage Garden, with a less soft rock sound and more edgy R&B vibe, although the first single Insatiable was a ballad, reaching Number 3 in Australia. Other singles "Strange Relationship", "Crush (1980 Me)" and "I Miss You" also performed well in charts.

Hayes spent two years working on his second solo album, The Tension And The Spark. Other than the track "I Forgive You" which was produced with Madonna collaborator Marius De Vries, the entire album was produced by Darren himself and Robert Conley (with whom he had previously toured and recorded Crush (1980 Me) for Spin). The album marked a bold change of direction from Hayes. Conley's production was almost entirely electronic, with acoustic instruments buried under walls of sequenced sounds. Although artistically this was a huge step forward and earned Hayes the strongest praise of his career, it seemed to alienate a large portion of his audience who were expecting another album of radio friendly pop songs. The first single Pop!ular was released on July 12, 2004. This single reached Number One on the US Dance Charts, and fared well in the UK. His follow up single, Darkness, failed to chart, leaving Dublin Sky - the planned third release - in limbo. Ironically, "Dublin Sky" was considered by many to be one of the strongest and most accessible songs on the album and the most likely to be a hit.

Truly Madly Completely, Savage Gardens greatest hits album was released in late 2005 and featured two new songs - So Beautiful and California. The tour, 'A Big Night In with Darren Hayes' followed in 2006. In July 2006, Hayes announced that he had married his boyfriend of two years, Richard Cullen, in a Civil Partnership Ceremony.

Hayes released a double album, This Delicate Thing We've Made, on 20 August 2007 on his newly formed independent label ''Powdered Sugar''. "The record features 25 songs recorded with the help of a Vintage 1983 Fairlight CMI syth - a cinematic, theatrical and epic Pop Opus." The first single to come from Hayes' third album was On The Verge Of Something Wonderful to be followed by Me, Myself and (I) later in 2007.
In mid 2010, Hayes announced the completion of this fourth solo album. It is being mixed by Robert Orton. The album will be released in 2011.
The first single from Darren's new album Secret Codes and Battleships is called 'Talk Talk Talk' and will be released on iTunes worldwide on June 24 the same day it is delivered to radio and the music video is released online and debuts on T.V.
Darren wrote and recorded the song in Sweden with producer Carl Falk - it was mixed by Robert Orton and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
On iTunes there'll also be a b-side - Darren's cover version of Madonna's 'Angel'.
