Sarah McLachlan - Monsters Lyrics






When we were young
there were always creatures lurking under the bed
A thousand year old dragon lived deep in the lake
and he said don’t be afraid
So you dove in

He seemed so sweet and lovely he made you laugh
and made you forget about the rain
Showed you new tricks on guitar
hidden talents that erases the pain

And don’t you know that there’s a wolf stalking in sheep’s
clothing tells me he’s the real thing
Think what your life would be missing
if you didn’t have him to sing
To sing about

Three headed monsters they want your money wanna be in the picture be your friend
They fill your pool with alligators are they all just jokers or are they cruel

They light up when they see you like there’s no where else that they’d rather be than by your side
Then they promise you the stars but they’re really just along for the ride

And don’t you know that there’s a wolf stalking in sheep’s
clothing tells me he’s the real thing
Think what your life would be missing
if you didn’t have him to sing
To sing about

Is it the sparkle in their eyes or the knowledge
of the ways of the world
The way they kiss the way they hold you has made you
blind to the fangs and the fire

There’s a wolf stalking in sheep’s
clothing tells me he’s the real thing
Think what your life would be missing
if you didn’t have him to sing
To sing about

    i weep
    i love you

  4. A.... V....

  5. P.... C....

    Thank you Sarah you are the best

  6. M.... S....

    You’re songs are sad. They make me think. Then I cry. Then I feel better. I wouldn’t have felt that if you never sang.

  7. J.... ....

    Good advice, learning, wish I wasn't so gullable in my prior years.

  8. G.... M....

    I hate in the arms of an angel, it sounds like a dying dog's last moments. But....


    I LOVE THIS SONG. it's not the lyrics

  9. K.... K....

    Yes <3 <3 <3

  10. M.... J....

    Cousin Ann seems to be some total smooth operator But what  became of the baby ?

  11. D.... B....

    I go to the same school as the daughter of sarah

  12. c.... t....

    i should try to see you again havent seen since afterglow

  13. c.... t....

    still a great voice

  14. T.... L....

    and by the way I have the right to post whatever I want, especially considering the bullshit i've been forced through since october 15, 2011...its not anyone's choice to tell me what my fucking rights Are. I am the Lord, God and government of myself you fucking idiots. GET IT

    T.... L....

    Wait, what? Three things.
    First off I have absolutely no clue why you would just randomly yell this in the comments of this video.
    Second, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the world works. You are going to be under someone else's jurisdiction whether you like it or not and there is little to nothing you can do about it.
    And lastly, you can indeed say whatever you want, but bear in mind that others can too. If you say something others may find offensive, then expect retaliation.

  15. L.... T....

    love this video!!

  16. V.... S....

    This song is so beautiful!

  17. L.... G....

    Underrated. So underrated.

    Brasil?💟

  20. L.... M....

    Nice. .!

  21. M.... T....

    the monsters brought out the best of sarah

  22. V.... R....

    For a fan that has been moved by her music and lyrics since the age of 17, attending one of her concerts, is truly magical. I was finally able to see her in Baltimore this year, and man....I cried like a bitch. I wish I was able to meet her, but she ran off real quick. Great memory, forever.

  23. a.... t....

    top top top top

  24. C.... M....

    Sweet voice like an Angel, Sarah I listen you the firsth in past 2000 and after there was only...the dark

  25. H.... U....

    for me sarah mclachlan is "one" of the greatest artist of all time.

    #3 Sarah McLachlan - Monsters

  27. S.... ....

    It seems like The Finest Lady of Music is channelling Maurice Sendak a little bit on this one.....
    Very cool vid for a very fine tune...
    Now if we could just convince her to work with Sharon Den Adel.....

    "And I have the sense, to recognize;
    That I don't know how to let you go......"

  28. w.... ....

    Wow. This was fucked up and awesome at the same time. I love Sarah and nothing will change that, but this was weird. I like it.

  29. N.... L....

    Uhh this is........ I don't know how to explain it.

  30. r.... ....

    This is the weirdest video. It's making me think of those old animated shows like Doug and Daria.

  31. e.... b....

    her songs touch in our souls,i really love this woman.her voice is like an angel

  32. G.... G....

    hola mucho agrado oir tu musica escribeme en el facebook estoy como gabriel gonzalo gonzales

  33. L.... P....

    Im SO upset how underrated Sarah Mclachlan is, she's MORE than a legend. She's my one and only Idol, LIVE ONNN SARAHHH! <3 <3 <3

    L.... P....

    She was all over the place in the 90s. I'm from the generation that got to see Lilith Fair. The women's movement of the 90s was so big, in fact, in the place where I took voice lessons, we organized our own Lilith Fair, comprised of the most talented women who were students there, and I was one of the singers. Best time of my life, getting to perform. I'm sure Sarah feels the same way about getting to reach her audience members who still love her. <3

    L.... P....

    I found a list of the top sixty best female singer-songwriters recently and she was number sixty. I was so pissed off. I expected her to be in the top ten, she's number one in my books.

  34. X.... H....

    Thank you Sarah.

  35. A.... S....

    You sound like Dido somewhat.

    A.... S....

    +Jonathon Lessard I get it man, you think Sarah is better bc Sarah is better. No reason for me to argue with that. I personally like Dido better but that doesn't mean I'm gonna say she's better.

    A.... S....

    +austie that wasn't even my original point. If you didn't want to discuss who was better, why did YOU bring it up?

    A.... S....

    +Jonathon Lessard It's clear that your original point implied that Sarah was better bc she's been making music longer.

    A.... S....

    +austie hardly. Like I said, I think Sarah's music is better because I think her music is better, not because she's been making music longer. If that were true, I'd prefer Kate Bush to Tori Amos but I prefer Tori Amos. My initial comment was simply about the fact that Sarah made music first, so musical comparisons would state that Dido sounds like her, not the other way around, the same way that people feel Tori Amos sounds like Kate Bush, not that Kate Bush sounds like Tori Amos. You shouldn't make incorrect assumptions.

    A.... S....

    +Jonathon Lessard Does it really mean that much to u? I don't think it makes Sarah less of an artist for people to say Sarah sounds like dido.

  36. P.... E....

    I absolutely love you music. Hope to hear you on the radio soon.

  37. J.... ....

    Woah. Cool animation. ⊙_⊙

  38. r.... g....

    Sarah McLachlan is truly one of those special artist who creates timeless masterpeices

  39. A.... M....

    Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. F.... R....

    Beautiful song. Happy ending . Thank you for your inspiration.

  41. H.... Y....

    Lovely, lovely song!

  42. s.... ....

    There's a MONSTER under my bed :O...of course there is my dear, sleep tight :)

  43. A.... P....

    my son loves this video ( he's 3) i think its a little rapey

    A.... P....

    Hmmm, if you think it's rapey, why are you exposing your son to it? Parenting, please.

    A.... P....

    Because he's 3 he likes the song.

    A.... P....

    @Amber Perry take for example the swastika if you think it's bad then that's how your child will see it as but it's too soon to expose a young mind to anything too graphic that this video ain't :)

  44. y.... Y....

    man did it befuddled melike hell 

  45. S.... L....

    I'm seeing her on the 22nd :) can't wait!

  46. T.... ....

    I learned an important lesson from this.  Inside every monster is a star.  And inside every star is a monster.  Eventually, Sarah McLachlan will save us by being eaten by the monster so she can wear that monster like a housecoat.  But beware!  When she takes off that monster housecoat, she will need dental work because that is the price of fame.

    T.... ....

    Her teeth are pretty perfect...

  47. M.... 8....
