<P> The track 's music was composed by James Frost and Robin Hawkins , with the original incarnation featuring a different chorus , both musically and lyrically . However the band decided first to change the music before deciding to rewrite the chorus 's lyrics . The chorus was planned to have a fairytale-esque theme to it , with keyboardist and vocalist Alex Pennie penning the idea which would become the track 's famous lyric `` What 's that coming over the hill ? Is it a monster ? Is it a monster ? '' . Originally however , the lyric was used just to fill the chorus until a more suitable lyric was found , but over time the lyric stuck and so was eventually used when the band recorded a demo of it in 2005 . </P>
