The album’s second track, Meet Ze Monsta, borrows the line “meet the monster tonight” from Captain Beefheart’s “Tropical Hot Dog Night”, the second track of his album Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), an album which Harvey has said had a particular impact on her.

See it coming
At my head
I'm not running
I'm not scared
[Chorus]
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
[Verse 2]
I'm not jerking
I won't hide
Yeah, I'm ready
Meet ze monsta tonight
[Chorus]
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
[Verse 3]
What a monster
What a night
What a lover
What a fight
[Chorus]
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
[Verse 4]
Yeah, it's coming
Out of this world
Yeah, I'm lucky
The lucky girl
[Chorus]
Hell ain't half full
Take me with you
Big black monsoon
Take me with you
