There's a McDonald's now where my father died. If this was a movie that would symbolise something, But in reality people just love shitty food. And they say we all die alone, but my father was wearing his headphones So when he saw the light. Someone was singing a tune. Up next on Radio 2 And the same thing will happen to you. Some franchise will stomp through. And we'll all go to heaven or hell. So do like my father did. Tell yourself; "If this is the one chance we get You better make the fucking most of it" And if that sounds like a cliche, it's cause it is. But clichés were rooted in truth. They just got nailed to the ground for long in the tooth. And if it sounds like it's hard without you, it's cause it is. So Dad this short songs for you. We'll drink to your name with Burgers and fries And if it turns out It's a fact I can't see you again I'll be thankful I was born with your eyes.

Brando 02:53
Sometimes my heart beats like a cartoon. Like it's gonna beat out of my chest. Sometimes I just wish I was a cool guy. Sunglasses, cigarettes and vest. And you'd ask me what I was rebelling against. I'd ask you "what you got!?" You'd ask if I could ever love you I'd shrug say "I'll give it my best shot" Electric shocks in an art museum, on the Riverside in Paris. I'll be shocked if there's a twist in this story I'll be yours for good. And my head's always full of these questions like; "What the fuck would I do without you?" But there's not much point going into detail The answers would be nothing new And I know people who act like assholes Just sleep with whoever they please... But me I would travel the world for my girl My sweet. But I'll never be your Marlon Brando, never be your Cary Grant. I try to imagine a world without you. I can't.

Skeletor 03:39
I think it's time you stopped staring in her eyes And told her what your heart was thinking. And even though you've thought it over 100 times before You'll probably have to wait til you've been drinking. Maybe then she'll stop pushing your hands away. Once she hears everything you've got to say. AND BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL sometimes I feel like a skeleton. And even by the light of my stereo I can still see your beautiful. And even when my head is killing me you make me laugh with the things you do. Maybe you would see you were beautiful If I told you that I loved you. And sometimes I don't feel worthy. And Its clear I'm not the only one who feels that way. But life's about love friends music and art. It's not how you look but what you say. And you say you're gonna get better, But I just don't think you can (Cause you're close to perfect) So let's just sit in the darkness whispering sweet nothings Holding hands...

Some nice things folk had to say about "The Skeletor ep";

"The EP is a sweet and sour symphony that will drive anyone through a wide range of emotions in less than ten minute."
Jeremy Veyret of Rave Child

Lovers Turn To Monsters will never be headlining massive festivals, or releasing number one albums, or selling out arenas across the world (sorry Kyle!), but the honesty, craftsmanship and integrity with which he makes music is what will, in 10/20 years time from now, make me have been glad to have been a part of. ‘Skeletor’ is as good a love song as you’ll find, and speaks volumes to this failed romantic.
Neil Wilson of Scottish Fiction

about

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK

Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.

He wishes he could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense. ... more
