Ed Harcourt. Released in 2001 on

Stories from the City, Stories from the sea).

On a side note, the
phrase 'Here Be Monsters' was commonly used by
cartographers on
maps before the full layout of the
Earth was known. It would be written on the edge of the known seas beyond which, it was believed, were
monsters and other
bad things.
