The Amazing Monstrous Grady

from CIRCU5 by CIRCU5

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This limited-edition CD package includes a lavish 28-page booklet, 'secret' document, and high-quality digital download card. Featuring photography by Lou Dommett Young.

    "Debut album of the year - it's absolutely stunning." The Titus Jennings Experience

    "Steve Tilling has made a compelling debut. It's a tight, dark intelligent album… albeit one plentifully and carefully decorated with accessible hooks and melodies... the depth of Tilling's wonderlust is his most progressive asset." Prog Magazine

    "Steve Tilling has given us a musical spectacle that will stand the test of time. Great songwriting combined with superb musicianship and a concept that works, CIRCU5 is a triumph." Progradar

    "CIRCU5 would unquestionably have been a huge ‘hit’ back in the day. And unlike some of Tilling’s prog contemporaries, who have a tendency to overegg – and often overcook – the pudding, it is equally palatable today. Impressive." Get Ready To Rock

about

A stark-white observation room, five people staring through glass. Days of interviews, tests and no rest. A sudden hiss, and an odourless smoke emanates from the grates. "Welcome home."

lyrics

Roll up, see the monstrous Grady
Stand up, come and see how you made me
You tell me I'm not enough
But I'm The Amazing Monstrous Grady

I am so sorry I don't fit with your plans
Sweet sister morphine has my life in her hands
Contained and labelled in her bottles and cans
Time slows, walls glow, my mind flows in this sideshow

Thrown out to sea, I cannot swim to the shore
A broken shell with stretching fingers of gore
When I reform, I'll trap you under my claw
Time slows, walls glow, my mind flows in this sideshow

"Roll up, roll up, see the man with claws for hands
Hurry hurry, step inside, the entrance fee is your mind"

Breathe in, let the light capture me
Breathe out, let all become one
Breathe in, the spirits enrapture me
This twisted geometry is where I'm from
