Features Song Lyrics for The Monks's Bad Habits (Bad Habits) album. The Monks Lyrics provided by SongLyrics. All Music News . Popular The Monks Lyrics.
The Monks were actually the brainchild of two departed members of the British progressive rock group The Strawbs - drummer Richard Hudson and bass player John Ford - along with hired gun vocalist Terry Cassidy. Hudson and Ford had struck Canadian hit pay dirt once before, as co-writers of The Strawbs’ only radio hit, Part of the Union in 1973, then left and splintered off into their own Hudson-Ford conglomeration for a few albums before literally stumbling into becoming The Monks . The success enabled Hudson and Ford carte blanche to record Bad Habits, but once the . public got wind that The Monks were not punks but Hudson and Ford, the album stiffed. There was animosity in England, Ford remembers.
