Deep in the gardens of an old abandoned house, you can find unique and deadly plants growing in every corner. Among them stands a rare breed of Myristica fragrans, an evergreen tree that only survives in scorching hot temperatures... and we're in Yorkshire. But somehow, it flourished and survived, so the house was called Myristica. The locals have a few different names for it: the ghost house, that creepy place over there, the mansion of death... that's my favourite. They think its abandoned, but they're wrong. It's Henriette's house. Celia lives here, too. That's a stray we took in one night. Celia's husband hangs around sometimes, but she usually doesn't want to see him. And I'm Emily. I'm the guard dog. Tread lightly.

The monster hiding in the dark - hey, it's me

Your friendly neighbourhood werewolf

Eb A# Cm F#

Everything got a bit overwhelming, so I fled to the house of death

Eb A# Eb C

But the place is not so gloomy, if you shift your view

Fadd9 Dm Am Eb A# C

Eb A# Eb Cm Fadd9 Eb A# Cm F#

When you have a pocket full of posies, I s'pose you have to fall down

Look at me, I'm a Gothic tragedy. No wonder I died in this house.

Eb A# Eb C

Still, I'm content as ever in treasured company

Fadd9 Cm Fadd9 Eb Eb Dm Am F Dm E7

The sun may blind you if you stare Life disconcerts you just the same And death is not so special, I've been there, done it all Neither one is for me It's better in between

Fadd9 Dm Am Eb A# C

Am Eb A# C

Killing - it's unproductive - taking all these lives for nothing - made me question, am I living my best life?

Looking in from outside At people living in the light Would give the world to see the sun again

Fadd9 Cm Fadd9 Eb Eb Dm Am F Dm E7

Course, it may blind you if you stare Life disconcerts you just the same And death is not so special, I've been there, done it all Neither one is for me It's better in between

Fadd9 Dm Am

A broken house for broken people

Fadd9 Dm Am E7

Poisonous land for poisoned lives

C E7 F D Fadd9

And it may be a vicious circle, or it may just open your eyes

Eb A# Cm F#

All your troubles are inconsequential in this paper town
